Quote

I'm not an activist per se, but I have strong feelings about things. People can jump on celebrities for being ill-informed or naive, but I've got a right to say what I believe.

I've always been fascinated by activists, people who will devote their life to a cause, people who go to India and to Africa and put their life in jeopardy to do what they believe is right.

I'm a person who's always been politically active and passionate about people's rights.

I've been an activist since my late teens. I take this very seriously and try to use the gift that's been given to me - access to the media - as positively as I can.

I'm not an activist; I don't look for controversy. I'm not a political person, but I'm a person with compassion. I care passionately about equal rights. I care about human rights. I care about animal rights.

I always have been an activist for things that were just authentically a part of my life, that I felt connected to.

I'm not at all interested in the brave who fight against the odds and win. I am interested in those who accept their lot, as that is what many people in the world are doing. They do their best in ghastly conditions.

I have referred to myself as an accidental activist on more than one occasion.

Irrespective of any political party, I am a supporter of good people who want to do something for the society.

I didn't wake up and decide to become an activist. But you couldn't help notice the inequities, the injustices. It was all around you.
