I'd have sex with a rich and powerful woman in exchange for millions of dollars and I wouldn't feel the slightest bit of shame.

Remember that said woman would look like Harvey Weinstein.

But this sort of behavior reinforces the idea that the industry would be filled with shameless people who would do anything to get ahead. Actual talent would be at best a secondary factor to success. We have lost generations of talented artists simply because they had a shred of integrity.

But would a rich and powerful woman want to have sex with you? For millions of dollars?

I salute your inflated ego, sir!

The key word is “I’d” which is the contraction of “I would”, which indicates a hypothetical situation separate from the commenter’s ego or self-image.
