We’re numb. We’re numb to 500 kids getting killed in Chicago last year. We’re numb that there were dozens of police shootings in the beginning of July. We’re numb to places on the earth where we don’t live. Our life is OK, but it’s OK for other people’s lives to not be OK.

A black person can’t be imperfect in the public eye, that’s a form of control.

When I’ve talked about the idea of being President, I’m not saying I have any political views, I don’t have views on politics, I just have a view on humanity. On people. On the truth.

History’s gonna be harder to make than I thought.

I love Obama. I’m sure we’ll hang out, go to Richard Branson’s island. It’ll be cool.

Let’s make ourselves happy

I think I’d have to say my favorite IWC. They have been around for so long and the craftsmanship is top notch. A watch maker that has been in business over 100 years has to know what they are doing.

For me, skinny is just a style of jeans – not a goal.

A fashion is nothing but an induced epidemic.

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 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.

I’m going to Adidas, ‘Adidas, I know you’ve never made a shoe under $50 but we have to make a shoe that costs $30 and it’s going to be coolest shoe of all.’

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

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

I look good, smell good, and make love good!

You have to look good.

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

I’m not ashamed to dress ‘like a woman’ because I don’t think it’s shameful to be a woman.

I’ll put on a punk rock T-shirt, a ’50s style skirt, and a pair of flip-flops. I like to mesh a whole bunch of things together.
