Kanye West

I was afraid to show you this 300 acres that I just purchased that I’m building my first community on – my first five properties on – because I felt like it would be shut down.

I forgot better shit than you ever thought of.

A black person can’t be imperfect in the public eye, that’s a form of control.

It’s like when you see all the slave movies. Why you gotta keep reminding us about slavery? Why don’t you show us – put Michael Jordan on a $20 bill.

I had plastic surgery because I was trying to look good for y’all.

I took my power back, like, ‘Man, my financial situation don’t make me.’ I’m in debt – now what? And I’m still Ye.- Kanye West

For some reason, I like seeing people feel emotional.

I don’t care what I look like; it’s how people think of me. I do care how people think of me. I want people to say, ‘Oh, she’s nice,’ rather than, ‘Oh, she’s so pretty.’

Know what? Bitches get shit done.

My little cousin tells me I look like Magneto so I guess that’s who I should probably play.

When I was a kid I used to hide behind the curtains at home at Christmas and I used to try and be Elvis. There was a certain ambience between the curtains and the French windows, there was a certain sound there for a ten-year-old. That was all the ambience I got at ten years old…I think!

I think I could sing and shear a few sheep at the same time.

There’s no damn business like show business – you have to smile to keep from throwing up.

Two Sundays don’t make a season. But if we keep it together, we are going to win a whole bunch of races this year.

I closed my eyes, held my breath and then everything went black.

If you retain nothing else, always remember the most important rule of beauty, which is: who cares?

Yes, it’s that special time of year where we voluntarily imbibe pumpkin spice lattes, the coffee that tastes like a candle.

I was advised by an American agent when I was about 19 to change my surname.

Kourtney has a new therapist and a new bf and I don’t really know which one is this problem

I don’t really like to go out very much. I’m not scandalous. I’m not, like, in this to be famous. I also find it so embarrassing when you read about people and it’s like they were so trashed at Skybar and stumbling around. I don’t want to be that person. That’s just so embarrassing to have that written about you.

I’ve discovered as I’ve grown up that life is far more complicated than you think it is when you’re a kid. It isn’t just a straightforward fairytale.
