Steve McQueen Interviews Kanye West In Interview Magazine
Kanye West is Steve McQueen’s muse in the February issue of Interview Magazine. The “12 Years A Slave” director sat down for a candid interview that delved into the inner workings of Kanye’s Gemini mind. ‘Ye dropped many kanyeisms, including his inspiration for “Bound 2” that Steve called “Purple Rain”-like.
Check out some quotes from the profound interview:
MCQUEEN: What does love mean to you right now at this moment in time?
WEST: Love … Well, if someone has got all the money in the world, they’d still want love.
MCQUEEN: But now you’ve got a situation in your life where you’ve got a daughter, which is a different kind of love—an unconditional love that maybe you only get to have in another way with your parents. What has that experience been like so far?
WEST: I think I have to experience it for another few years to be able to give you an opinion. It’s all brand new, how it feels to be a father. There are some things that I understand, certain things that I don’t understand, certain things that I like to get off my chest in interviews, certain things that I want to talk about. But when we talk about love, I don’t have an answer. All I can say is that I’m happy I have it.
MCQUEEN: I hate to put a stereotype on any profession, but there seems to be a certain loneliness associated with being a musician. Do you ever feel lonely?
WEST: Well, I’ve got my astronaut family. You know, becoming famous is like being catapulted into space—sometimes without a space suit. We’ve seen so many people combust, suffocate, get lost in all these different things. But to have an anchor of other astronauts and to make a little space family … I mean, it’s not like I’m the guy in The Hunger Games [2012] begging for people to like me. I’m almost the guy with the least amount of “likes.” I wanted a family. So god gives you opportunities, and you make sacrifices for something that’s greater.
