I actually hate reality TV! I know people love it, but when I watch, I’m analytical, and I’m like, ‘This can’t be real because of the camera position! And I see the cuts!’ – Kathryn Prescott
I believe realism is nothing but an analysis of reality. Film scripts have a synthetical constitution. – Manuel Puig
I think I have a God complex, and I like moving mountains and writing stories that affect entire worlds, and it’s a bit hard to do that in a contemporary setting because you have reality intruding.
