Sponsored Quotes

(to Dee Dee Myers, when asked how people react to his campaigning for candidates he supports) Well, I mean, to be perfectly honest, probably the most effective things that celebrities do for political candidates is raise money. You know, that`s something that you can do. And unlike, say, fund-raisers sponsored by -- you know, engineered by insurance companies or oil companies, at least what you can say for celebrities is they`re not expecting, you know, deregulation of their industry in return. So that`s one of things that I`m, I`ve been able to do and to try to help them do it. Other than that, you know, I`ve lived this sort of strange, sometimes unpleasant, but mostly very lucky life that`s involved lately a lot of media attention. And one of the things that feels good to me to do is to try to steer that in a direction of something more significant and at least be -- try to create some political dialogue. And that`s satisfying. Some people react to me kindly, and others don`t. That`s sort of the nature of politics." (Myers follows up: "Do you think it`s kind of a risk for your career as movie star to get in bed with one party?") "Unequivocally. Absolutely. And I think that`s why, you know, actually, people say, Well, you see all these celebrities. To my mind, you see very, very few. Most feel like, and probably correctly so, that to be identified with one side of the ideological fence or other risks alienating a segment of your audience that may like your movies, may want to buy your tickets, and in fact, may make it more difficult for them to suspend their disbelief when they go see you in a movie because they have you closely identified with something else. For me, part of that is already compromised, and it`s also something that`s interesting enough for me, and I don`t care quite so much about that kind of image that I`m able to do it. But I think a lot of people shy away from it, and many celebrities you see who`ve gone out there, tried to be active, have gotten pretty beaten down, you know? And so I think there is a risk, yes."
