“I'm quite proud of what I anticipated about reality television from my...” — William Gibson Quote

“I'm quite proud of what I anticipated about reality television from my books in the early '90s, which I based on the early seasons of 'Cops' and on the amazing stuff I had read about happening on Japanese shows and the British 'Big Brother'.”

“My dream scenario would be that you could go into a bookshop, examine copies of every book in print that they're able to offer, then for a fee have them produce in a minute or two a beautiful finished copy in a dust jacket that you would pay for and take home.”

“It's lovely I have 'Big Brother' and 'The Voice,' so that's two regular jobs I love. But even before then, when I wasn't working and I couldn't find work, if something was offered to me and it didn't feel right, I wouldn't take it.”

“I think sometimes producers forget that people like interesting things. It doesn't always have to be 'Big Brother' or toil and torment.”

“I got offered loads of reality shows, including 'I'm A Celebrity' and 'Celebrity Big Brother.'”
