We'd like to prearrange our life on all levels. We'd prefer it to be scripted. But it's not.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think it's a lot easier to put together a reality show than to actually create a scripted show.
I don't mind doing scripted material. It's actually kind of a relief, because improvising is a little bit like screenwriting on your feet.
Life is lived on levels and arrived at in stages.
Then again, they're not scripted and I feel it's virtually impossible to be anything but yourself when you're in front of the cameras and cooking so there is a measure of truth in what you see.
In essence, if we want to direct our lives, we must take control of our consistent actions. It's not what we do once in a while that shapes our lives, but what we do consistently.
I've come up in the scripted world, and I have wished there were more time slots for us to tell compelling scripted stories and not fill the airwaves with a lot of fluff and tabloid entertainment.
When I was young, with my brothers, we'd make movies all the time, and that was never scripted.
Making your life is ultimately an extraordinarily creative endeavor.
Life only has narrative when we frame it and edit it and call it certain things.
We're actually doing something scripted that's totally, you know, we kind of know what's going on, however, we're having to live life and death as the art.
