He could have bought loads of things with all the money he’s made, surely? Doesn’t he ever feel guilty about all that cash?
“Well, like a lot of things in life what I earn is out of proportion, out of perspective, unfair, but I don’t feel guilty because I clear my own conscience by giving a lot of it away. I don’t make donations and then ask for it to be publicised. I just do it when I think there’s an urgent need for something. I’m not doing it so that people think I’m the most generous person in the world. I wouldn’t be a pop star if I was. I’d be out there trying to solve all the things that are wrong with the world. But I’m too selfish to do that.”
