Oprah and Lance Armstrong have nothing on the apology-question-rant game that played out on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night. Jimmy Kimmel was super apologetic for poking fun at a recent BBC interview Kanye West did, and Kanye reveled in reminding the ABC-watching universe of his own creative genius, artistic reach, love of Malcom Gladwell and ability to talk for a really long time without breathing. But what a window into the wild mind of Kanye check out 12 of his most amazing tangents, along with clips of the full interview:
Kanye Wests 10 Best Quotes on Kris Jenners Talk Show
Celebrities Are People, Too
People feel like its OK to treat celebrities like zoo animals and or act like what they are saying isnt that serious and their life isnt that serious.
Gucci Slippers: Totally Worth It
I spent two of my checks in telemarketing when I was 18 years old on my first pair of Gucci slippers and this was before there was H&M and Zara. You couldnt just find cool stuff when I you were growing up, and for me, I care about cool stuff.
Kanye IsObviouslya Creative Genius
Im totally weird, and Im totally honest, and Im totally inappropriate sometimes. And the thing is, for me to say I wasnt a genius, I would just be lying to you and to myself.
Real Talk From Quincy Jones
I talked to Quincy Jones at John Legends wedding, and you know, you do music, you can do anything; once you learn how to produce, you are at that point a producer.
Why Kanye Is Like Muhammed Ali
My grandfather loved Ali until he died and my grandmother hated Ali until she passed. So youre going to love me or youre going to hate me, but Im going to be me.
Why Kim Kardashian Deserves a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame
They said something about they not going to put my girl on the Walk of Fame because shes a reality star. Its like people are so, so dated, and not modern. Theres no way Kim Kardashian shouldnt have a star on the Walk of Fame.
Leather Jogging Pants: Of Course They Were Kanyes Idea
Theres people who made whole careers off of creating leather jogging pants, it became like a phenomenon over the past three years . . . I would sit with Hedi Slimane who is now the head designer of St. Laurent and hed say, Stop giving these big brands your ideas.'
Whos More Fashionable Than Kanye?
When Im in Paris, and Im sitting in Fashion Week for nine years, and South Park makes fun of our outfits, and people dont understand why were there and Im getting called names, stuff you cant even say on like TV, and I still cant break that wall down . . . who do you know thats known more for clothes than me?
Forget Racism: Snobbery Is the New Battle
Its not about racism anymore, its classism. Paula Deen, she was old school. . . . This classism is what they do to try say Well, youre a rapper, or, Your girl is on a reality show. So youre not up here with us, were old money. . . . Im not into all that snobbery.
Dont Even Try to Bully Kanye
This is the reason why I did this. Cause creatives have gotten beat up my entire life. And theres moments where I stood up to drug dealers in Chicago and said, You cant have my publishing. Come and kill me. Do whatever youre going to do. But youre not going to bully me, youre not going to stop me, because my mother made me believe in myself.'
Hero Worship
Taste, culture, art, just the quality of life, this is what Im here to do. So when I compare myself to Steve Jobs, or Walt Disney, Howard Hughes, David Stern, Michelangelo, da Vinci, Jesus or whatever, Im saying these are my heroes. These are people that I look up to. This is the type of impact I want to make on the earth.
Paparazzi
The way paparazzi talk to me and my family is disrespectful, you know what Im saying? We bring something of joy to the world. When people hear my music, they have a good time. And I should be respected as such when I walk down the street. Dont ask me a question about something you saw in the tabloids, dont try to antagonize me. Cause you know what? Its not safe for you in this zoo. Never think that Im not from Chicago for one second. . . . And I understand paparazzi, I understand youve got to get your money, its hard out here, blah blah blah, but lets have respect for each other. You do help me get money, paparazzi, you know what Im saying? You show people how fresh my outfit is, and that helps me influence people.
