'I have imperfections, which is very human, very real, very believable. The greatest thing an artist can be is believable.' KanyeWest in The Back to the Future Issue, no. 310, 2010. Revisit his cover story here:

… all these films affected me and I try to reconceptualise them and bring them back to reality, whether that’s putting a glowing sole on the Nike [Air] Yeezy or referencingmusic, stage shows, fashion, the forthcoming filmWhat I want to do onstage is very graphic novel and very punchy. The visuals all match up to who the person is. And the person I am is very bold and graphic. If you study Michael Jackson, he never put anything graphic on his face.

One of the main things I wish people would understand is that I would do the exact same thing for Taylor. If it were 15 years into Taylor’s career and she makes the most pivotal video of her life and they randomly give the award to someone else. I really want to express my empathy and my newfound humility that I am sorry – extremely sorry – for cutting her off. I’m really sorry for that. But I still feel the same way about the construct of award shows.

What I do know and feel in my heart is that there is a God. Everything is in his will and all I gotta do is get out of bed everyday and go to sleep every night. I’m getting up and I’m trying to do good. As far as death goes, it’s promised. I don’t know why everyone’s so afraid of the only thing promised in life. I’m not afraid to die, and you can see that I’m not afraid of anything. After my mom passed, I think it’s insensitive for people to say to me about caring about winning an award or not.

I was able to make Glow In The Dark because I was given the opportunity to see these things firsthand. I might be ‘burning my celebrity’ but fuck it, let it burn. My celebrity burnt to the ground last year when I was turned into Public Enemy No. 1. I cannot believe that I missed the last Alexander McQueen show. If he had actually allowed me to go, cos there’s been times when he wouldn’t allow me to go cos of the ‘no celebrity’ thing [laughs].
