Jack Maxey interprets Kanye West’s remarks and actions as an attempt to recover a sense of “human agency” celebrities often lose.
“Whether you’re on the cover of People magazine or not, I think all of us are in a state of constant questioning of what it means to be human,” Maxey says. “And so I think it’s gratifying to see that these people are coming to the same conclusions that obviously the three of us have already found in our lives. And maybe it’s a cultural change that needs to happen. And I think it’s happening more regularly than we think it is.”
