On why people constantly bash him and Kim: “I always say that if Vogue had come out before the ‘Bound‘ video then everyone would have been like, ‘Oh it’s OK’ and that’s the endorsement.
It took something established like Vogue
to make everything OK and we had to wait. Like we had the wedding and
then they were like ‘that’s cool now’ because we were told by people who
endorsed it.
You have to be able to take the lashes when people don’t understand.
Two years of people not understanding an
interracial relationship, two years of people not understanding the
idea of the art world meets the pop world, you have to take the lash and
be able to swim in the backlash.”
On his arrogant persona: “It’s like we are the
creative with teeth, we have the gut feeling that we know that the idea
is more important than our personal well-being.
So a lot of times I will say things that
are not for my personal well-being which I think for people to create
for their personal well-being is a selfish thing to do and you’re
creating to make your life better rather than everyone else’s life
better.
I get bashed so much but create so much,
just know that if you want to be a boxer you’re going to get your face
beaten constantly but then you may end up being a Mayweather or an Ali
at the end of the day.”
