I want to be helpful to the charities I support. I think you can dilute it, the more you do. You have to be a bit strong about what you do… otherwise, you risk spreading yourself a bit thin, and you can be less useful.

One of the most crucial kinds of intervention is in advocacy. We can think about charities in the context of delivering services, and indeed that is part of their job, but advocacy is also getting governments to step up to the plate. They can also give more voice to those who don’t have one.
I’m doing a very funny show in which we talk about issues. I speak at Aids charities and things. It’s great to do something fun with our days and yet we’re told we’re doing something important.
I was going to be a comedian but then also winning Oscars and directing movies and creating my own charities and saving the world. The more I’ve let go of that… I see more access to possibly being able to have something like that.

Writing checks for charities is necessary and important. But it can’t compare with corporal works of mercy, which are infinitely greater.
In my 40s – when I was giving to the Red Cross, United Jewish Appeal and other charities – I said to myself, this is all well and good, but these are really amorphous things, and maybe there are some causes out there that I really give a damn about.

Importantly, I still give money to homeless people – and all other charities.
I never understood why movies don’t have to be as responsible, or the responsibility stops with Rated R. I feel like music, you gotta – you put the sticker on it, you make the clean version, then you’re explaining yourself, and then you have to do charities to offset what you just said. No one else has to do this!
I get lobbied by governments, schools, nurses, charities. It’s not all a bad thing.

People don’t get involved with local charities or politics because they think it’s hard to make a difference and the problem feels overwhelming. But I believe that if all I’ve time for this year is to write one letter to the local council, it’s still worth doing.
