Kanye, who opened the conversation by saying, “I don’t want to say all these big over-the-top statements that end up getting quoted the wrong way,” went on to deliver a number of other quotable gems (also known as Westisms):

• “Empower the best content creators or fuck you.” Looking at the audience, he added, “Not you in particular.”
