Television studios bet the farm on reality shows, where they didn't need any actors and movie studios had no plans for any quality movies that required the presence of me.
Alfre Woodard
I had never really planned that I will host reality shows. I just took up some offers that came my way. But reality shows are a good platform to showcase talent. They help one become a household name in a matter of few days.
Amruta Khanvilkar
There's a stigma about reality shows and the people who star in them. Reality shows mean your career will end, your marriage will be cursed, you have to fight and/or throw a drink, or you're going to end up broke and a has-been when the series ends.
Angela Yee
In a deep metaphysical sense, all that is conditioned is illusory. All phenomena are literally 'appearances,' the outer masks in which the One Reality shows itself forth in our changing universe. The more 'material' and solid the appearance, the further is it from reality, and therefore the more illusory it is.
Annie Besant
In reality shows, you have to perform once and prove yourself, and after that, it is a process to prove yourself every day.
Arijit Singh
Reality shows give a great platform to young singers, but kids shouldn't be exposed to showbiz at a very young age.
I'm not a big crier normally, but when I see people having life-changing experiences on reality shows, that's a different story.
Ashley Roberts
I'm in love with 'Bravo.' Me and my girlfriends love 'Bravo-ing,' which doesn't necessarily mean watching 'Bravo.' It's when you're a bum and you're on your couch watching reality shows.
Ashley Tisdale
Reality shows like 'SaReGaMaPa' are a huge platform for young talent. Thanks to television, they have more exposure than we could even imagine.
Bappi Lahiri
These days, with 'American Idol' and all the other reality shows, young people become famous overnight, and that can be very difficult to handle, the way photographers follow you around and study your every move.
Barry Manilow
I host reality shows; the last thing I ever wanted to do was be a contestant on one.
Bill Goldberg
So many reality shows are scripted and create this fake drama, and it's a bunch of bull. We wanted to do something real and something wholesome and something that's focused on positive family values.
Bill Rancic
I hate reality shows. But if I had to be on one, I'd have to say 'Realtree Road Trips' on the Outdoor Channel.
Blake Shelton
I'm too old to be humiliated on reality shows, and I don't want to look desperate. You won't see me on 'Big Brother' or in the jungle.
Bobby Davro
Occasionally I'll have a slip, and I might watch 'RuPaul's Drag Race' or something. But for the most part, I am out on the reality shows.
Bobcat Goldthwait
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.
Bruce Nash
I enjoy watching those reality shows.
Bubba Wallace
I don't like reality shows and have never watched them, but I'm addicted to 'Real Housewives' because it's authentic old-time soap opera reborn!
Camille Paglia
You can call someone a lousy writer. You can say you hate their book. You can even call a person 'white trash' but you can't go on television and slander a person's career. It's illegal, even on reality shows.
Carole Radziwill
When I was younger, people kept making offers for different reality shows and stuff.
Cassidy Gifford
All great reality shows have a very, very similar format. That's why it was so easy to parody.
Mostly, what I watch are reality shows and documentaries.
I never watched reality shows. I was obviously very aware of them because they're everywhere, but I was not somebody who watched them.
You watch these reality shows and say, 'Oh, I would do that, except for eating all the gross stuff.' These reality shows are like everyone's little guilty pleasure. To have an opportunity to be on one, why not? Anybody who says, 'No, I don't want to be on one' is kind of lying in the back of their heads.
It's interesting, even in popular culture, in our vernacular now, the whole idea of 'fake news.' You hear it repeated on scripted television shows, on reality shows, you just see it everywhere, even in other countries.
I will think of doing television only when I'll be looking forward to doing reality shows.
Personally, I'm not into reality shows - I can't even name a reality show that I was a really big fan of, altogether as a whole, not just from MTV. Like, if ABC has another reality show, I'm like, 'Oh God, another reality show.' But people love them. 'The Hills', 'Laguna Beach'... those do extremely well. It's just a personal preference.
I was offered a lot of reality shows in the past. I continue to be offered things like 'The Surreal Life.' I did one in 2002, right after the attacks on the World Train Center. It was called 'Celebrity Bootcamp.' It sounded exciting and cool when they presented it. When you get down to it, it was corny and cheesy.
I've been approached to do reality shows, but even though the fees are very, very attractive, I always say no because money should never be your motivation.
We have got offered some shows in America, but really dopey shows - like reality shows.
I think the sheer hell of trying to get a film made; I don't know if it would ultimately be worth it. The sort of format that I have, these TV things, sit somewhere between documentaries and reality shows and entertainment shows and dramas.
Everybody knows that I'm not a snob when it comes to pop culture, obviously. I love reality shows.
In fact, I would advise against anyone doing reality shows. I won't be doing 'X Factor' just yet.
Reality shows always look for the worst people.
I love watching reality shows - I'm up to date with 'America's Next Top Model' and I love 'Project Runway.' But the shows where they're just sitting in a house aren't as fun to me!
How many reality shows can you watch? They're so obviously phony.
People were fed up with reality shows about midgets getting married and weird Jerry Springer talk shows. There had been a real dry spell of intelligent family-oriented viewing: the type of program that Mom, Dad and the kids can all watch together. With 'Lost,' there are just so many characters for people to invest in.
I hate knowing where people go to the bathroom. You follow them going to pee, to eat - I hate everything when it comes to reality shows!
I'm not allowed to do shows for other channels till 'Saraswati Chandra' is on air, but I'm happy because Star is providing good opportunities to host reality shows like 'Nach Baliye.'
There is a strange pecking order among actors. Theatre actors look down on film actors, who look down on TV actors. Thank God for reality shows, or we wouldn't have anybody to look down on.
I preferred MTV as it used to be when it was about the music - I don't like it that now they just have reality shows. Reality TV rots people's brains.
There definitely is exposure in reality shows, but the exposure will basically get you more reality shows.
If you are strong enough as a couple, reality shows can be a good thing for the relationship.
I always watched reality shows with scepticism.
I try to stay away from too many reality shows. I catch the 'Housewives,' but they tend to give me a little anxiety.
Sometimes on a soap, it can become about all this other stuff - the party circuit, reality shows - but I gravitated towards people who kept it all about the work.
I know kids who participated in reality shows and became a superstar over time without singing for films, because the opportunities are wider besides films.
As far as 'Khatron Ke Khiladi' is concerned, I think it's one of the most fairest TV reality shows.
Now we've gotten accustomed to reality shows where the goal is to see people acting foolish.
I got offered loads of reality shows, including 'I'm A Celebrity' and 'Celebrity Big Brother.'
