"I will die for the art &..." - Quote by Kanye West

“People don't stand up and protect their dreams because they get spoofed in a way.”

“What happens if a drone falls right next to her?”

“Nike told me, 'We can't give you royalties because you're not a professional athlete.' I told them 'I'll go to the Garden and play one-on-no-one.' I'm a performance athlete!”

“In art, practice always comes before theory.”

“The statue is then beautiful when it begins to be incomprehensible, when it is passing out of criticism, and can no longer be defined by compass and measuring-wand, but demands an active imagination to go with it, and to say what it is in the act of doing.”

“Criticism - however valid or intellectually engaging - tends to get in the way of a writer who has anything personal to say. A tightrope walker may require practice, but if he starts a theory of equilibrium he will lose grace (and probably fall off).”

“The music game is more than just my love for singing, its a sport for me.”

“If you truly want to succeed, be prepared to go the extra mile.”

“I was very dedicated and serious about fighting. I'd read about all the fighters. I found out where they came from, knew about their mothers and their fathers . . . I just read all about their lives, their training.”
