Zitat des Tages von Kanye West:
But for me to have the opportunity to stand in front of a bunch of executives and present myself, I had to hustle in my own way. I can't tell you how frustrating it was that they didn't get that. No joke - I'd leave meetings crying all the time.
People always say that you can't please everybody. I think that's a cop-out. Why not attempt it? 'Cause think of all the people you will please if you try.
I know I got angels watchin me from the other side.
Black people can be the most conservative, the most discriminating. Especially among ourselves. It wasn't white people who said all black men have to wear baggy jeans.
Michael Jordan changed so much in basketball, he took his power to make a difference. It's so much going on in music right now and somebody has to make a difference.
I'll say things that are serious and put them in a joke form so people can enjoy them. We laugh to keep from crying.
I ain't here to argue about his facial features. Or here to convert atheists into believers. I'm just trying to say the way school need teachers the way Kathie Lee needed Regis that's the way yall need Jesus.
Why, if someone is good in one field can they not be accepted or given the slightest opportunity to express and be creative in other fields?
I don't know what's better gettin' laid or gettin' paid.

Nothing in life is promised except death.
This dark diction has become America's addiction.
I can always tell if a band has a British rhythm section due to the gritty production.
George Bush doesn't care about black people.
Fashion breaks my heart.
I thank Marc Jacobs so much for giving me the opportunity to design a shoe for Louis Vuitton, but the thing that broke my heart most was when they said, 'You're finished. The shoe's finished.'
I hate the way they portray us in the media. If you see a black family it says they're looting, if you see a white family it says they're looking for food.
I didn't want to play it boring and safe. I also didn't want to innovate too much. Second albums, man, they're even scarier than first ones.
The concept of commercialism in the fashion and art world is looked down upon. You know, just to think, 'What amount of creativity does it take to make something that masses of people like?' And, 'How does creativity apply across the board?'
I am Warhol. I am the No. 1 most impactful artist of our generation. I am Shakespeare in the flesh.
If you see a black family, it's looting, but if it's a white family they are looking for food.
I don't even listen to rap. My apartment is too nice to listen to rap in.
I liberate minds with my music. That's more important than liberating a few people from apartheid or whatever.
