I forgot better shit than you ever thought of.

Sometimes you get educated by being really bothered by things and you have to educate yourself on how to respond.

Maybe I shouldn’t have these dreams and aspirations. Maybe I should have given up on life ten years ago and stopped fighting for my truth.

I’m a blowfish. I’m not a shark, I’m a blowfish. So that perfect example about me hitting my head, it’s like a blowfish. I wasn’t coming out of my house going to a paparazzi’s house to attack them. I’m defending my family in front of my own house. I’m defending my name as someone’s screaming something negative at me. That’s a blowfish. People have me pinned as a shark or a predator in some way, and in no way am I that. I wouldn’t want to hurt anyone. I want to defend people. I want to help people.

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.

I think I appear very innocent and soft, but I’m actually very dark and edgy. It’s a weird dichotomy.

I take conscious breaks for myself ’cause I like to rejuvenate and get my creative juices flowing. I also like to take my time with my creativity; I think it’s important.

I could be walking down the street one minute and get a handshake and then get spat on the next. I’m never sure whether to wear gloves or a helmet.

The only reward for anything is food.

I think I’m prone to panic.

I don’t know if it was much of an interview. We just shot the breeze.

[On his early day in the music business] I stepped on a lot of toes… at that time.

I wish everybody would treat themselves like a plant.

If you want to be a screenwriter, take an acting class to get a sense of what you’re asking actors to do. Learning other skills will help you communicate with people and respect what they do.

I’m the lady next door when I’m not on stage.

A little bit independent in your walk. A little bit independent in your talk. There’s nothing like you in Paris or New York. You’re awfully easy on the eyes.

I am slightly disheveled, I think. I’m really pleased that I am, because otherwise I could be in a really, really dull and boring place now, as a musician at least.

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 want to spend time with Oprah, and I don’t know what I need to do to make that happen.

We aren’t cool and never will be.
