10 Questions For Morgan Spurlock

(2 of 2)

What do you think of reality TV?

It's opened the door for people to be more accepting of documentaries. I don't think Super Size Me would have done as well as it did in theaters had it not been for reality TV. But I really don't watch a lot of TV. I watch the news, and once in a while Entourage or The Sopranos. And I love 30 Days-- 30 Days is a great reality show!

You grew up in West Virginia, which is pretty conservative. But you're not.

I was very fortunate to grow up in a household where my parents were incredibly supportive of the arts. My brothers ended up becoming professional dancers. I grew up as the third dancing brother in a family of dancing brothers--not the cool thing to be in the middle of West Virginia. I did have guns, though. I'm pro-gun. I think that guns don't kill people. Bullets kill people.

You and your wife are expecting a baby. What's your kid going to think, seeing Dad on TV?

You know, I hope that my kid likes me more than anything else. I just hope he looks at me on TV and says, "Wow, I hope that guy comes home--right away."
