Kanye West

We are following other people’s opinions. We are controlled by the media. And today it all changes.

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.

Look in my eyes right now – you see no sunken place.

People say, Kanye he’s so crazy, he’s this, he’s that. People call you crazy so much you start to believe it yourself.

[on his SNL performance wearing a MAGA hat] They bullied me backstage. They said don’t go out there with that hat on. They bullied me backstage. They bullied me.

When you want to express yourself, a lot of times words can get in the way.

When I look at myself in the first grade and I look at myself now, I’m basically the same. The temperament is not that different.

I’m a lightweight, easy to fall easy to break.

Most women would not be happy being me. People say, ‘But you’re alone.’ But I don’t feel alone. I feel very un-alone.

Imperfections make you beautiful, they make you who you are.

Didn’t want y’all to call me fat, so I got liposuction. And they gave me opioids.

For a long time I hated my body, because I was constantly suffering. But now I look at it like an old Mercedes with chrome bumpers. It costs a fortune to repair, it breaks down all the time, you can only use it once a week, the seat leather is starting to crack – but nonetheless it’s mine.

My fingers are long and beautiful, as, it has been well documented, are various other parts of my body.

The only service a friend can really render is to keep up your courage by holding up to you a mirror in which you can see a noble image of yourself.

The kind of beauty I want most is the hard-to-get kind that comes from within- strength, courage, dignity.

The first thing to do is be happy with yourself and appreciate your body-only then should you try to change things about yourself.

I have an attention span that’s as long as it has to be.

Please stop debating about whether or not I aged well. Unfortunately it hurts all 3 of my feelings…

I want to be age appropriate. I don’t want to be that girl you see walking away and she looks 25 and then she turns around and she looks 90.

I feel beautiful without makeup on, but when I do put makeup on, it just gives me this extra pop.

I always want to think of myself as an underdog.
