What is the use in being a celebrity if you can't use the platform to help?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
But celebrity really doesn't mean anything unless you use it for finding some way to give back and I've always felt that way.
I just figure if you have a modicum of celebrity, you need to use it, and you need to use it for more things than just promoting yourself or your film or your image or your product.
Celebrity is a weird appendage, which is useless unless you do something with it.
To me, celebrity doesn't mean a whole lot unless you're willing to use it. So I wanted to use it in a different way, with my AIDS work, the human rights stuff for the gay and lesbian community and the speaking I do.
Being a celebrity is a business.
You become a celebrity, not because of your work or what you do, but because you have no privacy.
I want to use my celebrity for good.
There's nothing more special than talking in your community, and using your celebrity to uplift people and help them.
Celebrity has some amazing advantages, of course it does. You're given an extraordinary power. It's a door-opener. I might not have to queue for things.
I would suggest that folks who have a platform of so-called celebrity, to the extent that they don't use that platform, or if they just use it for their own self-aggrandizement, it is certainly fed in a way that it goes to waste.
