Kanye West

I am undoubtedly, you know, and I've said this before, I am Steve Jobs, I am Walt Disney, I am Shakespeare, I am Michelangelo. I am the number one human being of all time.

I'm a creative. And I'm a creative in a way that is going to change the world.

I don't know what it is, but I'm not a fan of myself.

I'm not trying to be a celebrity. I'm trying to make art.

I believe in myself. I'm a god.

I'm a creative genius. And I'm not just saying that. I literally am.

I am the number one human being in music. That means any artist, any producer, any director.

I am so credible and so influential and so relevant that I will change things.

I'm not a musician. I'm a creative.

There's no fangs. I don't have fangs. I'm a porcupine. I'm a blowfish. Like, I'm a — what's the fish that blows up? I'm a blowfish. I'm not a shark, I'm a blowfish.

The media crucify me like they did Christ.

One of my biggest Achilles heels has been my ego. And if I, Kanye West, can remove my ego, I think there's hope for everyone.

You should only believe about 90% of what I say. As a matter of fact, don't even believe anything that I'm saying at all. I could be completely f—g with you, and the world, the entire time.

For me to say I wasn't a genius, I would just be lying to you and to myself.

You know, I'm a creative genius and there's no other way to word it.

50 is Eminem's favourite rapper. I'm my favourite rapper.

I'm going down as a legend, whether or not you like me or not. I am the new Jim Morrison. I am the new Kurt Cobain.

I liberate minds with my music. That's more important than liberating a few people from apartheid or whatever.

Sometimes people write novels and they just be so wordy and so self-absorbed. I am not a fan of books. I would never want a book's autograph. I am a proud non-reader of books.

Anyone who don't agree with everything I say is wrong.
