If an interview just serves the idea of celebrity, then I think that sucks. I don't want to do that.

I think that celebrities should never underestimate their power. I mean just to draw attention, because then people get involved on a personal level.

Celebrities are the fodder of much of the media business, so they're always interested in making you seem provocative when you're not, or trying to bring you some sort of embarrassment by revealing something you'd rather not have revealed. That's the downside of celebrity.

Even a modicum of celebrity is hard to deal with. You see it with actors and directors all the time.

Now it seems like people want to do damage to young celebrities. They want to find them doing bad things. They encourage them.

People have to be sensitive to - I hate using the word 'celebrities' - people in the spotlight. Because there's so much more than what you see on the cover of a magazine.

I absolutely realize that a celebrity spokesperson is not ideal.

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.

I don't think we should judge celebrities for doing charity work. Period. Whatever their reasons for doing it, they are shedding light on issues that would otherwise go unnoticed.

Being a celebrity can be dangerous. Nobody says 'no.'
