How We Could Have Predicted Kanye's 'Dragon Energy' Trump Tweet

In general, the hard part about interviews, for me, is the idea of two plus two equals four. I always refuse to land at four.

I don’t want to be a jerk, but there are certain people who are geniuses. Their emotional and social IQ is super high and they can get stuff done. Often, people who get really amazing stuff done have to cut off their emotional IQ.

I think business has to be stupider. I want to do really straightforward, stupid business—just talk to me like a 4-year-old.

I refuse to negotiate. I do not negotiate. I can collaborate. But I’m an artist, so as soon as you negotiate, you’re being compromised.

I just want to word this in a way that somehow puts an idea out there without people beating me up for saying it out loud: More people need to know that they’re not fucking cool.

Did I already answer this before and you’re not letting me know the answer?

This is turning into a 12-minute freestyle. Which is good. When I talk it’s like a painting.

I’ve said the successful man is the one who can afford to make the most mistakes.

You say sticks and stones can break your bones but words will never hurt you. I mean, look at Trump. I guess words can’t hurt you.

Maybe this will be an eloquent interview. It’s a 50/50 chance every time I open my mouth.
