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.

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.

I'm very privileged to be the celebrity I am.

To be perfectly honest, I feel I have a duty to use my celebrity status in a positive way.

I'm so not a celebrity.

Celebrity is a gift. I'm very lucky.
