Nobody wants to hear my political views... so I won't be talking about that. But on diversity, nobody in this company has worked harder, done more and resourced it better than me.
I'm looking for personal credibility as an entertainer.
I will only do something if it has credibility for me, and that includes the films I make, the TV shows I judge and ad-campaigns I sign up for.

Owning our power means claiming the credibility and uniqueness of our own humanity.
I have always been drawn to child-related causes. I find that people listen to me more when I advocate for children now that I have my own.
Throughout my career I have proven that I am a man of action.
I have preserved my identity, put its credibility to the test and defended my dignity. What good this will bring the world I don't know. But for me it is good.

I can assure you that I have never used my media companies for propaganda, and I will never do so.

I think you earn your reputation for honesty and integrity literally hour-by-hour, and taste for that matter.
Character may almost be called the most effective means of persuasion.
