I’ll take opinions from anyone from Jay-Z to a janitor, and I might value the janitor’s opinion more.
It’s a time for the unconventional. I’m not a traditional thinker. I’m a non-conformist. So [Trump’s victory] relates to the non-conformist part of me.
I went to college on an art scholarship at the American Academy of Art, but the education comes from being passionate about objects, spaces, colors and the way they affect your senses.
[on Glastonbury] I started off the show and I completely messed up the music. And me, as you can imagine by this phone call, I’m a bit of a perfectionist. So it really put me into a slightly depressed state.
I think an extreme thing; I adjust it, I adjust it, I adjust it. That’s the way I get to it, but I have to push to, you know, the furthest concept possible.
So I’m you, I’m us, it’s us. It went from Kanye, which means the only one, to just Ye – just being a reflection of our good, our bad, our confused, everything. The album is more of a reflection of who we are.
I love Obama. I’m sure we’ll hang out, go to Richard Branson’s island. It’ll be cool.
Bravery is more important than perfection.- Kanye West
I don’t think Disney gets enough credit as a director. When people talk about their favourite directors of all time, Disney has some dope movies under his belt too.
We don’t want to be influenced, just informed.
We are following other people’s opinions. We are controlled by the media. And today it all changes.
Even when I tweeted that I was in debt, that gave me power.
[on his SNL performance wearing a MAGA hat] They bullied me backstage. They said don’t go out there with that hat on. They bullied me backstage. They bullied me.
I don’t feel crazy any more! It was always like – it’s going to be one of two things, either i’m crazy or everybody else is.
We will no longer outsource to other countries. We build factories here in America and create jobs. We will provide jobs for all who are free from prisons as we abolish the 13th amendment.
People say, Kanye he’s so crazy, he’s this, he’s that. People call you crazy so much you start to believe it yourself.
There’s nothing I really wanted to do in life that I wasn’t able to get good at. That’s my skill. I’m not really specifically talented at anything except for the ability to learn. That’s what I do. That’s what I’m here for.
On Jimmy Kimmel we had a great time having a dialogue. I’m reading that I was stumped by a question. Let me clarify the click bait. I wasn’t stumped. I wasn’t given a chance to answer the question.
That one by one by one we can defuse this nuclear bomb of hate that we’re in as a society by thinking of everyone as our family.
I used to always feel awkward around a lot of rappers. Other people came from hustling and all that. Sometimes it was harder to relate. People would look down on me for the way I dressed, because my raps weren’t really that good – it was like, ‘Just shut up and do beats.’
Because I talk so much shit they give me overcredit just to shut me up!
