Kanye West is known for being a little over the top, with his current 'Yeezus' tour, headline making fights and the famous incident when he took over Taylor Swift's acceptance speech back in 2009 during the MTV video music awards.

West is now speaking out about the moment and how he recovered from the national media attention after he took over the stage from Swift. West spoke about what he did to move on. "God, sex, and alcohol... a lot of sex," said West to Interview magazine.

West went on to explain that being a celebrity was not something that he ever planned for. "As a celebrity, I have an opportunity to make a living at being the spokesperson for the third or fourth rendition of a thought - promoting something that has already been proven," he continues. "The problem is that I like to be the inventor - I'm the person who works on the concept, who invents new thoughts, who brings new ideas into the universe," said West.

West added that his focus now is on his family and that he feels the need to protect them. West proposed to his current girlfriend and mother of his child North West, Kim Kardashian, US Magazine reported. As a couple, the duo are tabloid favorite and cannot keep their lives out of the news.
