Fur pillows are actually hard to sleep on.
I just think that when my confidence meets other people's insecurity, that equals Kanye's arrogant.
Fur pillows are hard to actually sleep on.
I can sleep. I love sleep; it's my favorite.
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 am the number one human being in music. That means any person that's living or breathing is number two.
I wouldn't even say that I'm a rapper. I'd say I'm more of a messenger.
I am Warhol. I am the No. 1 most impactful artist of our generation. I am Shakespeare in the flesh.
Nobody can tell me where I can and can't go.
I would hear stories about Steve Jobs and feel like he was at 100 percent exactly what he wanted to do, but I'm sure even a Steve Jobs has compromised. Even a Rick Owens has compromised. You know, even a Kanye West has compromised. Sometimes you don't even know when you're being compromised till after the fact, and that's what you regret.
You don't have to be scared of me, because I am loyal. Why are people so scared of creative ideas and so scared of truth? All I want to do is do good.
Man, I'm the No. 1 living and breathing rock star. I am Axl Rose; I am Jim Morrison; I am Jimi Hendrix.
My message isn't perfectly defined. I have, as a human being, fallen to peer pressure.
