Because, also the world of showbiz is not just black and white, good and bad.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The television industry doesn't like to see the compexity of the world. It prefers simple reporting, with simple ideas: this is white, that's black; this is good, that's bad.
The showbiz world has to be manipulated to make it more interesting because most people's lives are boring.
If everything isn't black and white, I say, 'Why the hell not?'
I do remember doing shows strictly in black and white, too, so you're right.
Audiences want great story telling; it's why white people watch my show 'Black in America.' It's why black people watch 'Latina in America.' All of that is statistically shown and proven but it was because it was good story telling about people who were outsiders.
