I walk through the hotel and I walk down the street, and people look at me like I'm [expletive] insane, like I'm Hitler. One day the light will shine through and one day people will understand everything I ever did.

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 feel like it's almost a Renaissance thing, a painting, a modern version of a painting. I think it's important for Kim [Kardashian] to have her figure. To not show it would be like Adele not singing.

I make music as good as possible, but I do reference cultural icons, because I want my music to be a time capsule of 2007.

I'm always fighting either to have a house work with us or to head a house. It's a lifestyle I can totally see: the future, modern Versailles, modern Versace, modern Calabasas, paparazzi, celebrity language. I just want to build a collection that's around me and my wife and my kids.

If you don't make Christmas presents, meaning making something that's so emotionally connected to people, don't talk to me.

Success is the best revenge.
