It is a different breed of person who wants to be on a reality-TV show.

I'm trying to tell a story, to entertain. I try and do something that might just take people's minds off their troubles.

A lot of reality shows tend to harp on the negative. The person isn't pretty enough or can't sing well enough or maybe isn't even funny enough.

I think there is a danger there of being mean to people and humiliating people and embarrassing people just because it might get you ratings. It is a disturbing trend.

It's very difficult to get your ideas to Hollywood if you're the average Joe or Jane. An agent wouldn't bother with you.

I want to entertain people, whether it be with a comedy, a drama or a movie. An idea's an idea.
