Just in time for all his controversy today, Kanye West is covering Surface magazine and dishing his vision to "make the world more beautiful."
He filmed a 30-minute conversation where he dishes on his visions and why he refuses to compromise. Here are a few highlights:
On education: “People across the world just lack opportunities, period. I feel a responsibility because of my parents. They’re activists and were in the world-changing business. Any extra goodwill or good skills I’ve gained I learned from them, and take along on my Legend of Zelda role-playing path in life. Life’s like a RPG [role-playing game]. When you roll the dice, you’ve got three guys with you, and then you meet someone else, and then another person gives you information. That’s how I met [designer and dealer] Axel Vervoordt—and I don’t have to explain who that is; [you] can get it off of Google.”
On the rising value of young talent: “Those are the people who can make the change. And will. It’s not can; it’s will. You have to will things into fruition. I think that in our time, our civilisation, we can get to a place where … [Pauses] When you say way overly optimistic things, they just get attacked.”
On the interview: “Maybe this will be an eloquent interview. It’s a 50/50 chance every time I open my mouth.”
