1. Kanye has very sensitive ears
“OK, everyone please be completely quiet, because I can literally hear a whisper and it’ll throw off my stream of consciousness, and when I get my stream of consciousness going, that’s when I give the best, illest quotes. Literally, a whisper can throw it off.”
2. Kanye, married to a sex-tape-making reality star, has opinions on nobility

6. Kanye believes bad lighting is exactly like child abduction
“My momma taught me that if I was in a grocery store and I’m by myself and a stranger grabbed my hand, scream at the top of your f***ing lungs. If I’m at an awards show and a stranger grabs my hand and they say, ‘So, we’re going to use these moving lights,’ or, ‘We’re gonna play the music right now before we define the look,’ or, ‘We’re gonna cut the TV cameras in a traditional way,’ I’ll scream at the top of my f***ing lungs.”
7. Kanye knows all about special rich-person things
“I’m successful in learning about the beauty that is afforded rich people.”

8. Kanye wants you to wear clothes
“Let’s have an NBC telethon moment and say that beauty has been stolen from the people and is being sold back to them under the concept of luxury! It’s illegal to not wear clothes and also possibly too cold. That means someone is imposing an idea on you that you should legally have to do!”
9. Kanye has feelings about your daughters
“People say to me, ‘You’re successful, what are you crying about?’ I’m crying about the people. I’m crying about their daughters. Our daughters, as one family.”
