When you are a media celebrity, every word you speak is dissected, as are those you choose not to speak.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm an entertainer. Not a journalist or spokesman for anybody. Truth is, a lot of my listeners absolutely hate what I have to say.
If Hollywood stars speak out, so do all sorts of other people. Now Hollywood stars can get a better hearing.
Celebrity is a word I take great umbrage with. I'm actively anti-celebrity.
When I hear so-called professional journalists ask why we have celebrities speak for us and for the animals, the environment or social causes, I marvel at their denial of the rules of their own trade.
The great thing about celebrity culture is that they can't seem to stop themselves from displaying their ridiculous behaviour. I feel it's my job as a serious investigative journalist to witness all kinds of behaviour and then report back to the audience through the prism of my own anger and bitterness.
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.
Sometimes I get extremely disturbed with the things that are written. But you can't do anything about it. As a celebrity, you are putting yourself out there to be judged, and that's fine. I am now learning not to get affected by such things. I am building my career and making choices that I think are right while minding my own business.
You're required to be outspoken in journalism, and in television you're exposed anyway, because everyone watches it.
I don't like talking to celebrities.
Being a celebrity, I don't even have to talk.
