Kanye West
I've been saying how I feel at the wrong time.
Kanye West
They say people in your life are seasons and anything that happens is for a reason.
Kanye West
I used to have the Virgin music [stores], and I would go there and just go up the escalator and say to myself, 'I'm soaking in these last moments of anonymity.' I knew I was going to make it this far I knew that this was going to happen
Kanye West
I could let these dream killers kill my self-esteem, Or use my arrogance as the steam to power my dreams. I use it as my gas, so they say that I'm gassed, But without it I'd be last, so I ought to laugh.
Kanye West
My music is rock. I listen to Red Hot Chili Peppers and I listen to one of my songs, and if I don't give you the same emotion, then I go back and re-spit.
Kanye West
She said, 'Ye can we get married at the mall? I said, Look, you need to crawl 'fore you ball Come and meet me in the bathroom stall And show me why you deserve to have it all.

As a rapper, I feel like image is always important but even more so than image, I really love clothes, that's why I don't use stylists. I want to do it myself because I really love it.
