Everybody in hip-hop discriminates against gay people. Matter of fact, the exact opposite word of 'hip-hop,' I think, is 'gay.' Like yo, you play a record and if it's wack, 'That's gay, dog!' And I wanna just come on TV and just tell my rappers, just tell my friends, 'Yo, stop it, fam.'

I wanna explain something about the title 'Yeezus', simply put 'West' was my slave name and 'Yeezus' is my God name.

To be a visionary, all you have to do is make decisions based off of your eyes instead of your ears and your memory.

I've been outta my mind a long time.

Come on now! How could you be me and want to be someone else?

As a man I am flawed, but my music is perfect.

I'm going to say this tonight because 20 years from now, 30 years from now, 40 years from now, I might not be able to say it, but I can say it tonight….You are now watching the greatest living rock star on the planet.
