My goal, if I was going to do art, fine art, would have been to become Picasso or greater. That always sounds so funny to people, comparing yourself to someone in the past that has done so much, and in your life you’re not even allowed to think that you can do as much.

It's so hard to do fittings [for Yeezy] because we want to do things that are inspiring, that people could look at and say, Wow, I like that color palette, I could put that together. And there are so many images of things that it's almost impossible to have your clothes go up against the amount you're seeing and carry it into one language.

Yeah, I think that I have like, faltered, you know, as a human. My message isn’t perfectly defined. I have, as a human being, fallen to peer pressure.

Thirty-three-years-old, still creating art. It's rage, it's creativity, it's pain, it's hurt, but it's the opportunity to still have my voice get out there through music.
