That s--t cray.

We'll admit we're big fans of Kanye West over here at E! for a number of various reasons including his relationship with Kim Kardashian, his killer music career and of course, his ability to shock and confuse us all during each and every interview.

In the eyes of Yeezy, it's because he's brilliant, and we're just simply not smart enough to understand (case in point: "If people are saying you're wrong, it's probably a good sign that you're a genius"), but either way, we're more than willing to listen to West's words of wisdom, which are always sure to entertain.

A few of our favorites?

"My greatest pain in life is that I will never be able to see myself perform live," he said during an appearance on VH1's Storytellers.

"Come on now! How could you be me and want to be someone else?" he told the Guardian back in 2005.

Oh, and don't even get us started on those leather jogging pants...

Most recently, Kim Kardashian's mister spoke at the 2014 Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity this week, where he expressed his desire to keep a low profile.

"I don't want to say these really big over-the-top statements that end up getting quoted," North West's papa insisted.

Unsurprisingly, that didn't happen.

So with that we say: nice try, 'Ye, whether you like it or not, you're a quote machine.
