"It's always going to be a fight for anyone who isn't an older white man. I want to fight for anyone ..." — Kanye West

My goal is just to be respected as a man when I walk down the street with my family. I don't care what your job is, you're not gonna talk down to me, you're not gonna try to get a rise out of me. I'm a man first. And in establishing that, some interesting things have happened.

I wouldn't say that anyone in fashion is on my side. I don't think there's anyone on my side.

I'm giving all that I have in this life. I'm opening up my notebook, and I'm saying everything in there out loud.

I'm pretty calculating. I take stuff that I know appeals to people's bad sides and match it up with stuff that appeals to their good sides.
