So few hip-hop artists have ever advanced. Their songs on their seventh, eighth albums sound exactly like the songs on their first album. More than an artist, I'm a real person-and real people grow. And I wanna just sing my growth.

More quotes by Kanye West
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.
Kanye West
We've been sold a concept of joy through advertising. It was somehow sold to us through a Gucci bag or something.
Kanye West
Visiting my mind is like visiting the Hermès factory. Sh*t is real.
Kanye West
I can always tell if a band has a British rhythm section due to the gritty production.
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
Talkin', talkin, talkin', talk. Baby, let's just knock it off. They don't know what we been through. They don't know 'bout me and you.
Kanye West
It was a strike against me that I didn't wear baggy jeans and jerseys and that I never hustled, never sold drugs.
Kanye West
People will have a problem with whatever you do. At the end of the day, nobody can determine what you need to do in order to be successful and why would you listen to someone who is not successful tell you what you need to do?
Kanye West
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.
Kanye West
I used to have insecurity about my finances, then I announced that I had debt, and now I don't have any insecurities.
Kanye West
Fusion is the future. The mixing of ideas. The two lunch tables working together. Humanity...we're 1 people.
Kanye West
If I was more complacent and I let things slide, my life would be easier, but you all wouldn't be as entertained. My misery is your pleasure.
Kanye West
I try to get as close to a childlike level as possible because we were all artists back then.
Kanye West
I make all my own decisions and I take full responsibility.
Kanye West
Okay, everyone please be completely quiet, because I can literally hear a whisper, and it’ll throw off my stream of consciousness, and when I get my stream of consciousness going that’s when I give the best, illest quotes. Literally, a whisper can throw it off.
Kanye West
The bathrooms - that usually would be a porta-potty - were wrapped in a fabric that was neutral to match the fort ... the same materials that were used to cover the bathroom, we said, 'Let's just use that [to cover a bar at the reception], because this is all we have to make the bar look better.' Which it did, in the end.
Kanye West
I'm never at my worst because even at my lowest, its a learning experience. It's something that I'll bounce ideas off. I can take negatives and flip them to positives at all times.
Kanye West
If your job is inspiration you have to go at it at all costs.
Kanye West
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. That’s a mentality that suppresses humanity.
Kanye West
If you’re a Kanye West fan, you’re not a fan of me, you’re a fan of yourself. You will believe in yourself. I’m just the espresso.
Kanye West
