On being a rapper turned fashion designer and how it's seen as cliche:
"People base their opinions on cliche. There's a reason why they're cliches: 'I was gonna wear a coat today, but it would be so cliche.' How about some pants -- if it's not too cliche?"
[ Video: Kanye speaks out on his signature style and being "a walking brand" ]
On his fashion influence:
"Marc Jacobs is my fashion idol because of the way he merges all worlds, the way he's big in the hood and the head of the No. 1 fashion house in the world."
On his infamous "I am the voice of this generation" quote:
"If not me, then who?" he says. "Someone could be a better rapper, dance better. But culturally impacting? When you look back at these four and a half years, who's the icon at the end of the day? Who broke down color barriers? What other black guy would a white person use as a fashion reference?"
[ See more men's fashion tips from Details magazine ]
On what kind of woman he'd settle down with:
"I feel like the type of girl I would be with is a fellow superhero. So we get that 'already flying and now we're just flying together' thing."

FedWhat’s so truly pathetic and amazing is that this no talent, egomaniacal retard thinks he’s an artist and a “voice” of anything. He doesn’t seem to understand that he hit the mega jackpot in life. There never has been someone so undeservedly awarded with wealth, fame and accolades while real artists and musicians have to struggle and scrimp. His juvenile doggerel and behavior reveal thereport abuseposted February 20, 2009 7:45 PM PST

The SingerI'm sorry. I don't see Mr. West through the same eyes that he sees himself. But that's just MY opinion. He does not represent much to me in the way of breaking down doors. Personally. his music takes too much "analyzing and getting-used-to". It's definitely not the 'norm'. Whatever his cause, I wish him well.

RandyI am glad that he is doing this. I saw him a couple of times on TV singing and it sucked terribly. I just hope his designs are better than his songs, if not he won't be around long.report abuseposted February 19, 2009 9:38 PM PST

gwendolynwlkrMr. West is the most ungratful sun of a biscuit eater ( HA HA YOU THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO USE BAD LANGUAGE) that I have ever seen. Is he ever happy with any part of his success or will he be happy when it just fades away. Grow up Mr. West opportunity comes your way only maybe once in a lifetime.You should reconnize it while it's looking you in the face.report abuseposted February 19, 2009 8:55 PM PST
