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 may be talented, but you're not Kanye West.
If you a Kanye West fan, you a fan of yourself.
...I'm not going to be able to make things that I can call Kanye West just by making T-shirts.
You tellin' me people don't look at Kanye West like the Glitch.
I wanna explain something about the title 'Yeezus', simply put 'West' was my slave name and 'Yeezus' is my God name.
You know, if Michael Jordan can scream at the refs, me as Kanye West, as the Michael Jordan of music, can go and say, 'This is wrong.'
If you’re a Kanye West fan, you’re not a fan of me, you’re a fan of yourself. You will believe in yourself. I’m just the espresso.
I don't even listen to rap. My apartment is too nice to listen to rap in.
Nobody can tell me where I can and can't go.
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.
I really appreciate the moments that I was able to win rap album of the year or whatever.
