Kanye West thinks he'd be an "extremely thoughtful" president.
The
38-year-old rapper - who announced last month he plans to run for
office in 2010 - thinks people welcome his plans because he is
''honest'' and always tries to defend others.
He said: "As soon as
I said that, it was like, 'Wait a second, we would be really into that,
because actually if you think about it, he's extremely thoughtful.
Every time he's gotten in trouble, he was really jumping in front of a
bullet for someone else. He's probably the most honest celebrity that we
have.'"
But the 'Gold Digger' hitmaker - who has daughter North,
two, with pregnant wife Kim Kardashian West - admits he has a lot of
''research and growing up'' to do before he makes his bid for the White
House.
He added in an interview with Vanity Fair magazine: "I sit
in clubs and I'm like, 'Wow, I've got five years before I go and run for
office and I've got a lot of research to do, I've got a lot of growing
up to do.
"My dad has two master's degrees. My mom has a Ph.D. Rap
is great. It's fun. It's fun to be a rock star, and I'll never not be
one I guess, but there'll be a point where I become my mother's child."
And Kanye doesn't believe running for president means he would have to give up his music or design careers.
He admitted: "I think about that. Because it's so therapeutic for me to sit and work for seven days.
"We
work on the collection year-round, every day to the office, we have an
amazing team, but then you have that seven days before the show where
you just really, really don't sleep. . . . I have to stay creative.
"The whole point is to have someone [in office] that's creative, that's around amazing creatives.
"This
is my theory: I think the world can be helped through design, so it's
very important that I stay around creative, forward thinkers.
"It's very important that I continue to design, to be in practice of trying to make the best decisions possible.
"I hate politics. I'm not a politician at all. I care about the truth and I just care about human beings."
