"No, I was pleased that it is possible for somebody who makes full disclosure as I've done, not only of the contributors, but also how the money is spent"
About this Quote
Scott frames honesty as an achievement rather than a baseline, which is what makes the quote work. “Full disclosure as I’ve done” is both assertion and self-portrait: I did the hard thing, I showed my work. Then he gets specific, doubling down on the mechanics of trust: not only who gave the money, but where it went. That “not only... but also...” structure is performative accountability, a rhetorical receipt. He’s narrating transparency in real time because he knows audiences don’t just want virtue; they want proof.
As an actor speaking about contributors and spending, Scott’s context likely sits in that mid-century swirl of celebrity fundraisers, political donations, and the era’s growing suspicion of influence-peddling. The intent is reputational self-defense, but there’s also a quiet cultural critique: we’ve created a system where being clean isn’t assumed, it’s a miracle you have to document.
