I give lectures for money, but all the money goes to charity. So, I make no money from it.

The remark frames paid public speaking as a civic or philanthropic activity rather than a personal revenue stream. Woodward distinguishes between receiving an honorarium and profiting from it: the lecture fee functions as a conduit to charitable giving, allowing him to participate in the lecture circuit without the ethical or reputational complications that can attach to monetizing public stature. Implicitly, the line also answers a common suspicion about prominent journalists—whether they leverage access and authority for personal gain—by asserting a boundary between professional work and private enrichment. The blunt, almost legalistic phrasing (“So, I make no money from it”) underscores a desire for clarity and accountability.
