In the new issue of Details magazine, Kanye West gets his full braggadocio on and reflects upon his self-described sexual addiction, which he says is largely responsible for his drive to succeed.

“People ask me a lot about my drive,” he tells the magazine. “I think it comes from, like, having a sexual addiction at a really young age. Look at the drive that people have to get sex—to dress like this and get a haircut and be in the club in the freezing cold at 3 a.m., the places they go to pick up a girl. If you can focus the energy into something valuable, put that into work ethic…”

As a kid, West combined his sexual addiction with another one of his favorite childhood pasttimes: video games. The artist said he produced his first “Super Mario Bros.: The Penis Remix” in the seventh grade:

“My game was very sexual. The main character was, like, a giant penis. It was like Mario Brothers, but the ghosts were, like, vaginas. Mind you, I’m 12 years old, and this is stuff 30-year-olds are programming,” he says. “You’d have to draw in and program every little step—it literally took me all night to do a step, ’cause the penis, y’know, had little feet and eyes.”

He must have inspired this clip from Super Bad…

West also took time to talk about his perceived greatness. “Put this in the magazine: There’s nothing more to be said about music. I’m the f**king end-all, be-all of music. …Oh my God, I’m one of the greatest rappers in the world. I’ll get on a track and completely ee-nihilate that track, I’ll eat it and rip it in half. I wouldn’t have to think of it. …I have, like, nuclear power, like a superhero, like Cyclops when he puts his glasses on.”

He plans on moving to Paris and being mentored by his fashion idol Marc Jacobs. In fact, he intentionally left the designer’s number on the table for his Details interviewer to see.
