Kanye West GQ Interview: Rapper Compares Kim Kardashian to Dinosaur
In the latest issue of GQ Magazine, Kanye West sat down with GQ's Zach Baron to talk about everything from his new music, the paparazzi, and his wife Kim Kardashian.
While speaking to Baron 10 days after his wedding, Kanye West described his new wife as "this girl who f*cking turns me on."
"Kim is this girl who f*cking turns me on. I love her," Kanye told Baron. "This is who I want to be next to and be around. And then people would try to say, 'Well, you know, if you're a musician, you should be with a musician, and if you want to design, you need to be with a girl from the design world.' I don't give a f*ck about people's opinions."
West then began to rave about his wife's body and compared his love for her as similar to loving a bike or a dinosaur.
"When a kid falls in love with an airplane or a bike or a dinosaur -- especially if you're an only child and it's not because of the book that the sibling was reading -- it's like, 'f*ck, you mean to tell me that the dinosaurs walked the earth and stuff like that?! That's amazing! You mean to tell me that these giant multi-ton crafts can fly that fast and that loud, and they can flip, and there's danger, the possibility of them exploding? That's f*cking cool! You mean to tell me that this girl with this fucking body and this face is also into style, and she's a nice person, and she has her own money and is family-oriented? That's just as cool as a fucking fighter jet or dinosaur!' And just as rarely seen."

Unlike his marital counterpart, West is known for his violent run-ins with the paparazzi, especially when he's defending his family from the prying paps.
Last year, TMZ posted a video of West and Kardashian avoiding the paparazzi. West was so adamant about shielding his then-fiancée from the photogs that he walked right into a sign.
When asked about the TMZ sign incident, West responded that his reaction to it was similar to that of a blowfish.
"I'm a blowfish. I'm not a shark, I'm a blowfish. So that perfect example about me hitting my head, it's like a blowfish. I wasn't coming out of my house going to a paparazzi's house to attack them. I'm defending my family in front of my own house. I'm defending my name as someone's screaming something negative at me. That's a blowfish. People have me pinned as a shark or a predator in some way, and in no way am I that. I wouldn't want to hurt anyone. I want to defend people. I want to help people."
In addition to family life, West also talked about his new album that would come out sometime this fall and his idea of making a collection of "beautiful songs" on his album.
"I had an idea of the way I wanted to do the album," he revealed. It was a collection of "beautiful songs", which conveyed the message, 'Hey, I'm a great musician, I make these beautiful songs, and they have all this meaning, and nobody can make anything that means this much.'"
