Kanye West

Let’s make ourselves happy

Even when I tweeted that I was in debt, that gave me power.

I feel that [Trump] cares about the way black people feel about him, and he would like for black people to like him like they did when he was cool in the rap songs and all this.

I want to change the stigma of crazy, of mental health – period.

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.

The whole concept for the Yeezus album is that we’re not going to be using CDs in the future and since this is the last time we’re going to see it, this is an open casket for the CD.

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.

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

Well I always wanted to be Dolly Parton when I was a little girl. I was obsessed with her.

I walked into this industry blond with red lips, and I will leave this industry blond with red lips. Mark my words.

As we wind on down the road, our shadows taller than our souls.

I work, and then whenever I have any other time, I’m with my daughter, and then I go to sleep. I think you basically have to abandon the dreams of having any other adult activities in your life. You have to go to sleep whenever your child goes to sleep. That’s basically how we’re doing it.

He was going to make it. He had a passion for driving a car … Adam was never interested in anything else.

There’s probably not a crew chief out there who hasn’t tried something that seemed like a good idea.

Every person has a signature. Just some people don’t know it yet.

I can’t believe we’ve got away with becoming this huge band. And we still haven’t done anything I think is that good yet.

At the end of the day, I just do my job. I love my art. But I genuinely want to change the world. I’m very generous, and I really want people to see that I am – that’s really it.

I think it’s the way I talk. I think they thought I was too country. And I’m not ashamed of that by any means.

I’m kind of jealous of the life I’m supposedly leading.
