I met Kim Kardashian in a nightclub once, and she was really nice. Kanye was with her, but he didn't speak. He just looked at me.

Obviously, Kanye and I are very different in the way we express ourselves publicly. He's so passionate... about art, about culture, about creativity. And he's really good at it. And that honesty manifests itself in ways that are not politically correct, not socially acceptable sometimes.

I love Kanye West. I think he's a visionary. He's one of those people for whom I separate his personality from his artistry.

He's so sophisticated... Kanye is like 'Fifty Shades of Grey,' he's interesting, so you want to be around him.

Meeting Kanye West was a blessing.

I spent 25 years clearly understanding that I'm not gonna meet Bono or the Edge. But then it happened at the Grammys when we were all backstage and I just about fell out of my shoes.

Here's Kanye, the great musical genius of his generation in hip hop, but, like, society really can't even deal with him because he's always saying something that people go, 'Oh, I can't believe Kanye said that. I can't believe he did that.'

Kanye West, I love you. You might not have known, but I have said in other interviews that you're my hero.
