Kids in the entertainment industry are at a risk of developing depression, as they see glamour at an early age.

Reality shows give a great platform to young singers, but kids shouldn't be exposed to showbiz at a very young age.

Kids aren't growing up with a sense of television as the aspirational place for their ideas.

We know when children have a place to play they live healthier, happier lives.

With any child entering adolescence, one hunts for signs of health, is desperate for the smallest indication that the child's problems will never be important enough for a television movie.

I think it is important for young people to see other young people on television doing something positive with their life, making positive changes and growing. I don't think there is enough of that on TV. I mean, we've got 'Jersey Shore,' and I don't know what that teaches young kids.

People are always saying that Hollywood messes up kids. I'm like, 'No, families mess up kids!' I grew up in Hollywood, and I'm perfectly fine. If my children want to go into the entertainment business, I won't stop them, as long as they're passionate about it.

Hollywood has an obligation to watch what they put out there. Kids do imitate what they see - good or bad.

There's nothing wrong with fame, but to seek out the spotlight just to be on TV for the sake of being on TV, and to put your children on there, I think, is especially disgusting.

I think if we were going to worry about teen pregnancy being glamorized, we should worry about shows like 'Teen Mom'. If people are going to want to have children at a young age because they see it on TV, I think that depends on the type of person you're dealing with.
