A humbled Kanye West was interviewed by Jay Leno before performing on the first Jay Leno Show.

West wanted to address his Taylor Swift insult at last night’s VMAs. West called Swift “a talented artist” and said it was “someone’s emotions I stepped on — it was rude.”

“So many celebrities, they never take the time off,” he said. “I’ve never taken the time off to really — you know, just music after music and tour after tour. I’m just ashamed that my hurt caused someone else’s hurt. My dream of what awards shows are supposed to be, ’cause, and I don’t try to justify it because I was just in the wrong. That’s period. But I need to, after this, take some time off and just analyze how I’m going to make it through the rest of this life, how I’m going to improve.”
