More quotes by Kanye West
I don’t know if this is statistically right, but I’m assuming I have the most Grammys of anyone my age, but I haven’t won one against a white person.
Kanye West
If I do become more successful, either as a producer or a rapper, I'm going to do everything I can to help whoever I can on the label.
Kanye West
I know I'm the most influential.
Kanye West
If I was just a fan of music, I would think that I was the number one artist in the world.
Kanye West
Dark Fantasy was my long, backhanded apology. You know how people give a backhanded compliment? It was a backhanded apology. It was like, all these raps, all these sonic acrobatics. I was like: Let me show you guys what I can do, and please accept me back. You want to have me on your shelves.
Kanye West
I eventually want to be the anchor of the first trillion-dollar company.
Kanye West
Life is a b*tch depending how you dress her.

We're not always in the position that we want to be at. We're constantly growing, we're constantly making mistakes, we're constantly trying to express ourselves and trying to actualize our dreams.
Kanye West
I use too much of my brain and need to let some of it rest.
Kanye West

Kanye West
We culture. Rap is the new rock 'n roll. We the rockstars. It's been like that for a minute, Hedi Slimane!
Kanye West
I think that’s a responsibility that I have, to push possibilities, to show people: “This is the level that things could be at.”
Kanye West
I've got a million people telling me why I can't do it. You know, that I'm not a real designer, that I'm not this. I'm not a real rapper, either!
Kanye West
If you’re taught you can't do anything you won't do anything, I was taught I could do everything.
Kanye West
I said Yo Jay, I can rap. And I spit this rap that said I'm killin' ya'll *****s on this lyrical sh*t, mayonnaise colored benz, I push miracle whips.
Kanye West
Life is 5% what happens, and 95% how you react.
Kanye West
The concept of commercialism in the fashion and art world is looked down upon. You know, just to think, 'What amount of creativity does it take to make something that masses of people like?' And, 'How does creativity apply across the board?'
Kanye West
I don't care about having a legacy, I don't care about being remembered. The most important thing to me is, while we're here, while we're having fun, while we're sleeping, breathng oxygen, living life, falling in love, having pain and having joy...what can we do with our voice to make things easier, to help someone to make it better for our kids.
Kanye West
The media crucify me like they did Christ.
Kanye West
I'm putting my life at risk, literally! And if I slipped... You never know. And I think about it. I think about my family and I'm like, wow, this is like being a police officer or something, in war or something.
Kanye West
