What if a famous music producer walks past my house and hears me singing and becomes obsessed with me and makes me into a huge pop star and because of my music, millions of people decide that life IS worth it, and I am basically responsible for the continuation of humanity, and I win all these Grammys and even though my real passion is writing poetry, I will have to keep singing . . . for humanity? How could I turn my back to mankind like that?"
