When you have a celebrity who is willing to shine his personal spotlight on the non-profit and can also speak articulately about the mission, that's really the best of both worlds.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It is better for me to serve a charity as an actor or a voice, rather than at a luncheon being just a celebrity.
I want to be part of a different kind of celebrity, one that thinks not just about charity but policy.
I don't think we should judge celebrities for doing charity work. Period. Whatever their reasons for doing it, they are shedding light on issues that would otherwise go unnoticed.
Increasingly, I'm inspired by entrepreneurs who run nonprofit organizations that fund themselves, or for-profit organizations that achieve social missions while turning a profit.
There are three things being a celebrity is good for: raising money for charity, dinner reservations and tee times.
It's nice that established and emerging stars agree to appear in ambitious low-budget films. Such pro-bono work gives the movie a higher profile and the actors a potentially more distinguished resume.
I absolutely realize that a celebrity spokesperson is not ideal.
Celebrity never really served me that well; it serves other people well.
Rather than spend millions getting film stars, I am quite happy to be brand ambassador myself.
I just am grateful for every opportunity to go to work. I don't really focus on celebrity status.
