'I think celebrities have an obligation to the public to not just sing or act.'

'If my career detour from special education to singing has done one thing, it has afforded me the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of others.'

'Not everybody gets a mic this big. I feel I should use it in as positive a way as I can.'

'I'm not different. I'm not different at all. The wrapping is different but the gift is still the same.'

'As athletes, we understand the importance of being a positive role model.'

I'm ready to take the blame for all the problems of English football if that is what he wants.

Let the famous not denounce fame. Far from being empty and meaningless, it fills those it touches with divine power.
