It's the main reason why I continue to push myself and my career to do more and more as the amount that you're able to raise for charity and to give to charity by my celebrity.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've always tried to lend my support to worth while causes, and I feel you should use your celebrity to help with worldwide causes and help them gain exposure.
But I am very grateful for my success, and with success, of course, comes a whole lot of celebrity.
I'm a complete addict of The 'X Factor,' so I can see why everyone gets so inspired. But there's a downside to celebrity: your life is up for grabs, your career is much more disposable, and you are therefore vulnerable. It's a high price to pay.
Make sure your desire to do what you're aspiring to do is deeper than just fame and being a celebrity.
Money isn't a major motivating force in my life. Nor is my profession. There are other things that I care more about than being an actor.
Philanthropy is the thing that I am really excited about, and having success means I can do more.
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.
I do think that being a sort of celebrity and being well off does give me some responsibility. I think that people who make a lot of money - and I do - should certainly give a considerable amount of it away.
I have a lot of success and make a good living, but after while, you start going 'Why? Why are you doing all this?'
The amount of work you need to do to become a very successful celebrity is something I'm not prepared to do.
