Poverty can teach lessons that privilege cannot.

The reason we have poverty is that we have no imagination. There are a great many people accumulating what they think is vast wealth, but it's only money... they don't know how to enjoy it, because they have no imagination.

I realize I am very privileged. But there's a difference between being spoiled and privileged.

I feel privileged, to be honest.

When we see people that are impoverished and people who are dealt an unfair hand, then if we have the power to help them, we should try to do that.

I strongly believe that those of us who are privileged to have wealth should contribute significantly to try and create a better world for the millions who are far less privileged.

I think that anyone who's pushed to do the very best that they can is privileged. It's a luxury.

One of the reasons inequality gets so deep in this country is that everyone wants to be rich. That's the American ideal. Poor people don't like talking about poverty because even though they might live in the projects surrounded by other poor people and have, like, ten dollars in the bank they don't like to think of themselves as poor.

Funny thing is that the poorer people are, the more generous they seem to be.

We are one of the richest countries in the world, and there is absolutely no reason why anyone should have to live in poverty.
