Look, I can be married to the most beautiful woman in the world, and I am. I can have the most beautiful little daughter in the world, and I have that. But I’m nothing if I can’t be me. If I can’t be true to myself, they don’t mean anything.

If you ask me a question like what is your greatest accomplishment, it should be what I’m about to do

I'm the No. 1 artist in the world right now ... I am the No. 1 human being in music.

"[My Beautiful] Dark [Twisted] Fantasy" and "Watch the Throne": neither was nominated for Album of the Year, and I made both of those in one year. I don't know if this is statistically right, but I'm assuming I have the most Grammys of anyone my age, but I haven't won one against a white person. But the thing is, I don't care about the Grammys; I just would like for the statistics to be more accurate.

I sent a girl a picture of my d - k. I don't know what it is with females. But I'm not too good with that s - t.
