How huge his ego USED to be:

I have this table in my new house. They put this table in without asking. It was some weird nouveau riche marble table, and I hated it. But it was literally so heavy that it took a crane to move it. We would try to set up different things around it, but it never really worked.I realized that table was my ego. No matter what you put around it, under it, no matter who photographed it, the douchebaggery would always come through.

Taking an L financially, from his failed ready-to-wear women’s collections, which he paid for himself:

I gained because I had the privilege to be educated. I had enough of a value to be able to go into debt, and that was a blessing. Some people don’t even have the opportunity to be able to go into debt.

Meeting one of his idols, Ralph Lauren, for the first time (during New York Fashion Week) and his thoughts on a widely circulated photo of the two men meeting, and Lauren placing his hand gently on West’s cheek:

Do you know what he said when he did that? ‘This is my son? And I was thinking, ‘I knew it! I knew Ralph was my daddy!’
