My kids aren't celebrities. They never made that bargain. We were offered a lot of money to sell pictures of our kids when they were born. You'll notice there aren't any. I make no judgment about people who decide differently; a lot of them give the money to charity. For me, it was a matter of principle.

I've always tried to lend my support to worth while causes, and I feel you should use your celebrity to help with worldwide causes and help them gain exposure.

I think that's one of the only reasons God created celebrities. To help those who can't help themselves.

I don't like being a celebrity, really... Some people get greater praise than they deserve because they have had exposure in the media. I don't think I agree with that at all.

Today, we don't blink an eye when the world's wealthiest individuals donate enormous sums of money to charitable causes. In fact, we expect them to do so.

It is justice, not charity, that is wanting in the world.

There's a tendency for people to think that celebrities do whatever they want, spend whatever they want, and it's completely out of control. While some of that may be true, I've never met a celebrity who threw caution to the wind and thought they could do anything. That's not the thought process.

Who really cares what a celebrity thinks on a given issue?

Most philanthropists would still rather donate to elite schools, concert halls or religious groups than help the poor or sick.

It is better for me to serve a charity as an actor or a voice, rather than at a luncheon being just a celebrity.
