Kanye West

Come on now! How could you be me and want to be someone else?

I want to create music that’s therapeutic.

As a musician, African American, guy out in Hollywood, all these different things, you know, everyone around me tried to pick my candidate for me, and then told me every time I said I liked Trump that I couldn’t say it out loud or my career would be over, or I’d get kicked out of the black community – because blacks, we’re supposed to have a monolithic thought, we can only be Democrats.

I’ll take opinions from anyone from Jay-Z to a janitor, and I might value the janitor’s opinion more.

A designer told me that my wife was a master of light and I was a master of time.

I’m here to show you imperfection. The beauty is in the imperfection.

A lot of musicians put diamonds on things to show they had money. I on the other had felt that a Rolex Daytona showed I had style and I didn’t need to be flashy.

I dyed my hair blonde when I was 14. My mom was not happy. But I love being blonde.

A fine timepiece is part of dressing like a gentleman. When I first made a little money, I bought my first watch which was a Rolex Daytona. It was just one of those things that said I was successful.

To me, it’s very important to follow that tradition and try to find those champions, role models for the next generation.

I don’t care what you think about me. I don’t think about you at all.

I like things that are worn, like an old pick-up truck that’s stood by you, hauled wood or hay, moved your neighbor’s furniture, carried kids and dogs. It’s a little dented and the paint’s a little faded, but that patina is evidence of a history of work and a kind of honesty, which to me is very American.

Fashion is only the attempt to realize art in living forms and social intercourse.

I like to be stylish and edgy, but also low maintenance.

It was heartbreaking for me to have to leave Nike, but they refused to allow me to get royalty on my shoe and I knew I had the hottest shoe in the world.

I wear the same outfit or, at least, a different copy of it almost every day.

I think the Kardashian look is exotic. Curvy. Definitely sexual. And um, playful.

A fashion is nothing but an induced epidemic.

This Calvin Klein campaign is really a dream come true!!!! I mean…. Fendi and Calvin in the same year! I never would have dreamed of this life!

I like a colorful sock. I’m a sock man.

I think it’s just very subjective. It’s whatever you want. I’m obviously very flattered when I see people re-create our makeup looks, and we love that.
