ETERNALLY quotable power couple Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are the cover stars for the new issue of Harper’s Bazaar — but the real treats lie within the mag, with the pair submitting to an in-depth joint interview.
As you’d expect for any interview involving West, many of the quotes are pure gold. From Tay-Tay shade to nude selfies, here are the best lines from what is a fascinating look at the pair’s relationship.
Favourite Taylor Swift song?
“For me? I don’t have one,†says West, while Kardashian simply offers: “I was such a fan of hers.â€
Which historical figures does Kanye think they most identify with?
“Us? Muhammad Ali, Marilyn Monroe — all day. Next question.â€
Kanye clears up the common misconception that he’s a modern-day Plato:
“Here’s something that’s contrary to popular belief: I actually don’t like thinking. I think people think I like to think a lot. And I don’t. I do not like to think at all.â€
Proving his point, Kanye then offers up this quote, which we’ve read five times and still don’t really understand:
“I think about things to put them in a place where I don’t have to think about them anymore. Say if I had a child with a really bad mum, I would have to think more than if I had a child with a good mum. I’m just doing my homework early. I told my trainer today, I’m a mix of a 14-year-old high-schooler and a 60-year-old guy. It can never fall into the 30s or the 40s. It has to be 100 per cent 60 or 100 per cent 14, no in between.â€
Kanye says Kim not getting naked on Instagram would be a tragedy akin to Adele not singing:
“I love her nude selfies. Like, I love the ones from the side, the back ones, and the front. I just love seeing her naked; I love nudity. And I love beautiful shapes. I feel like it’s almost a Renaissance thing, a painting, a modern version of a painting. I think it’s important for Kim to have her figure. To not show it would be like Adele not singing.â€
Their ‘hidden talents’ are straight-up cray:
Kim: I can smell when someone has a cavity. It’s a very specific smell — not a bad-breath smell — but something that is really strong.
Kanye: I can analyse people’s intentions. Immediately. That’s just a warning. To everyone.
Kanye congratulates Kim on her second pregnancy in a very Kanye way:
“You killed this second pregnancy, though. Your body slammed that crap. You made that second pregnancy your bitch.â€
What would Kanye do if he was invisible?
“Women’s locker room.â€
