"People dwell too much in the memories. People always wanna hear the history of something, which is important, but I think it there's too much of an importance put on history."
We can't even begin to imagine what other gems will be in this book, but if this interview is anything to go by — it'll be a bestseller.
West also provided other gems throughout the chat, declaring his desire to be both water (not a typo) and philanthropist.
He said, "I don't wish to be number one anymore, I wish to be water. I wish to be closer to Unicef or something where I can take the information that I have and help as many people as possible".
But because this is Kanye West we're talking about — it didn't end there. The rapper and fashion designer also compared himself to the late Stephen Hawking. Yes, you read that right.
On this he said, "I started to say things to people — now some of these things I could change my opinion two or three times on it depending on the feeling. I feel like Stephen Hawking. He changed his ideas and his theories all the time. After proving something right, he proved something wrong, right?"
I mean, he's not wrong, per se, but we're not sure about that one.
Nonetheless, there's no doubt Kanye is an artist, so we'll eagerly await the release of the book and hope he goes by the moniker of 'Kantye' from here on out.
