I'm very politically active, but that has nothing to do with my charity.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I am a charity campaigner.
But there are many, and I'm a supporter of a great deal of charities.
I'm not doing my philanthropic work, out of any kind of guilt, or any need to create good public relations. I'm doing it because I can afford to do it, and I believe in it.
I'm very, very involved in charities involving youth.
I used to do some philanthropic work, but with the political platform, I can contribute in a bigger way.
Charity is just writing checks and not being engaged. Philanthropy, to me, is being engaged, not only with your resources but getting people and yourself really involved and doing things that haven't been done before.
Charity is important; so is being fair and honest and honorable in your business - but you cannot mix the two.
I'm not an activist.
Unfortunately, I don't think I can call myself an activist because I don't really do enough of anything.
I'm obviously very involved with my own charity and foundation that I work with. Obviously, I'm very passionate about that.
