I knew I had to make a sacrifice to do what I’ve always wanted to do.

I’ve always wanted to be a mom at 23, 24ish, ever since I was a little girl. I’m right on schedule.

I certainly didn’t want to date. I was through with guys.

I feel like I needed a balance. I don’t want to forget about my personal life and spending time with myself.

Your children can be around you all day, but if you don’t spend quality time with them and you don’t pay attention to them and talk to them and listen to them, it doesn’t matter that they’re just around you.

I’m a little bit afraid to give my heart away right now. It’s very scary. I’m open to it, but I just want to make sure that I’m taking my time.

I learned more from my mother than from all the art historians and curators who have informed me about technical aspects of art history and art appreciation over the years.

I’m convinced that what kids need today are parents – not buddies. They need someone who will exercise mature judgment.

I had grown up without a father and that is why it was so important to me that my children would never be in need of anything.

How do you build a relationship when you’ve hardly shared a word but suddenly share a child? How do you love a daughter you don’t see for nearly two years? When does she become your daughter? How does she become your daughter?

Dont ever get it twisted, me, Kourtney and Khloe are GOOD! ALWAYS!!!! Never question that!

Sometimes being a brother is even better than being a superhero.

I feel very blessed to have two wonderful, healthy children who keep me completely grounded, sane and throw up on my shoes just before I go to an awards show just so I know to keep it real.

My siblings are my best friends.

My father was very energetic; my mother was very energetic. He lived to a very old age, and so did my mother. I believe that I just have it from my father, from my parents. They had wonderful energy.

I pay my mama’s bills, I ain’t got no time to chill.

I’ve been a loner all the time throughout my life… I haven’t been the best father… Many times… my children have accused me of not giving them enough attention. And, frankly, I never have been good at handling that.

My #1 priority is being a mother as well and I can work too, so can you!

Ohana means family. Family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten.

I was bribing North to wear her butter 350’s by saying they glow in the dark. However, she made me turn off the lights to test it. She caught me lying but Kanye was on speaker phone and said don’t worry I will make them.

My grandma is probably the only person on this planet that I still remember their home number by heart
