Everyone's always telling you to be humble. When was the last time someone told you to be great?

To use is necessary. And if you can't be used, then you're useless.

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

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.

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.

One thing that I like to do is use words that have never actually been used in a rap song before. I also like to take words that have negative connotations and show their real meaning.

50 is Eminem's favourite rapper... I'm my favourite rapper.

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.

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.

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.

I use too much of my brain and need to let some of it rest.

Visiting my mind is like visiting the Hermès factory. Sh*t is real.
