“I don’t think you can live a genuine life being inspired by others—everyday lives anyway—but you can be inspired by their creations. There’s a big fucking difference. If some guy wants to propose because of a love song I wrote, great, that’s where it should end. I’m not saying famous people don’t have a responsibility, or if they’re reckless with it and do horrible things, they shouldn’t be called out. They should. But for those who just want to quietly contribute at this point, it’s next to impossible to keep their private lives out of it.
