My attitude is tattooed that means it's permanent
I had a dream I could buy my way to heaven, when I awoke, I spent that on a NECKLACE...
Sometimes people write novels and they just be so wordy and so self-absorbed.
The creatives, they want to connect with people. These artists, the clothing designers, they want to connect with people the same way that music gets to connect with people. But the cost of silk is too expensive. And they won't lower their quality levels. So I can spend $2 million on a record and give it out in a democratic way. They could spend all their time making the greatest dress in the world, and it's just impossible to hand-make that many.
When I think of competition it's like I try to create against the past. I think about Michelangelo and Picasso, you know, the pyramids.
I'm like a vessel, and God has chosen me to be the voice and the connector.
I will die for the art & what I believe in. The art ain't always gon' be polite.
I'm typing so f-ing hard I might break my f-ing Mac book Air!!!!!!!!
The media crucify me like they did Christ.
Clothing should be like food. There should never be a $5000 sweater. You know what should cost $5000? A car.
One of my biggest Achilles’ heels has been my ego. And if I, Kanye West, the very person, can remove my ego, I think there’s hope for everyone.
You want me to be great, but you don't ever want me to say I'm great?
I'm Kan, the Louis Vouitton don / Bought my mom purse, now she Louis Vuitton mom / I didn't play the hand I was dealt I changed my cards / I prayed to the skies and I changed my stars / I went to the malls and I balled too hard / Oh My God is that a Black card / I turned around and replied why yes, but I prefer the term African American Express
People say it takes a village to raise a child. People ask me how my daughter is doing. She’s only doing good if your daughter’s doing good. We’re all one family.
