“Right now, I’m able to talk and be here, live in L.A, and have a living, and be able to get engaged to my girl, because I’m a successful musician currently. But if I were to write my title, like going through the airport where you have to write down what you do, I would literally put down creative genius. Except for two reasons. Sometimes it takes too long to write that and sometimes I spell the word genius wrong.” — Kanye West, showing he has a sense of humor, in a conversation with Bret Easton Ellis for the author’s new podcast. The whole thing is worth listening to, if only to hear West talk about him and Kim Kardashian going to a hotel to watch “Breaking Bad.” [BEE Podcast]
