My celebrity status allows me an opportunity, allows me a pulpit to preach and reach out to the people. Not even always preaching but just leading, motivating them by being a leader.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Celebrity means that I can affect people in a positive way.
Celebrity is seen by a huge amount of people and certainly myself for a while as the pinnacle of society, of success. It is revered almost religiously, both the institution and its quickly growing member base.
Being famous is having the power to really implement positive change in the world, and it gives you the power to do what you want. I'm really grateful for it because I can play music and people will listen.
To be perfectly honest, I feel I have a duty to use my celebrity status in a positive way.
I've always thought of myself as a role model even before being a 'celebrity.' I've always been doing charity work and volunteering in the community since I was 8, so when you do that, I think you just assume that role when you put yourself out there.
Not only do I have celebrity, but I have notoriety, which is sometimes more seductive.
I'm very privileged to be the celebrity I am.
I never wanted to be a celebrity; I never wanted to be famous. And in my daily life, I work really hard to not trade on it in any way.
In the United States, I am a great success, but I am not a celebrity.
I love being an entertainer - not really fond of being a celebrity.
