It was the defining moment of the MTV
Video Music Awards in 2009 – and now Kanye West has revealed what it
took for him to move past his Taylor Swift stage invasion!Kanye sparked controversy and fell out of public favour when he interrupted Taylor Swift’s speech for her Best Female Video at the ceremony – with the act leading Barack Obama to label him a ‘jackass’ in later years.
Now Kanye has confessed he turned to “God, sex, and alcohol… a lot of sex” after the incident.
He explained to Interview magazine, "Well, I don't have an addictive personality, so that means that I can lean on what might be someone else's vice just enough to make it through to the next day.
"You know, just enough religion, a half-cup of alcohol with some ice in it and a nice chaser, and then ... a lot of sex. And then I'd make it to the next week."

He also compared his level of stardom to being an astronaut… because it makes total sense ok?!
Kanye said, "Well, I've got my astronaut family. You know, becoming famous is like being catapulted into space - sometimes without a space suit.”
"We've seen so many people combust, suffocate, get lost in all these different things.
“But to have an anchor of other astronauts and to make a little space family."
He added, "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.
"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."
Kanye also defended the video for his song Bound 2, which featured him riding a motorcycle with his fiancée Kim posing suggestively in front of him. You know the one.
He said, "I think all that stuff around it is just that: controversy. I think people are afraid of dreams, and that video is one of the closest things to the way that dreams look and feel, or the way joy looks and feels, with the colours.
"I think the controversy comes from the fact that I don't think most people are comfortable with their own dreams, so it's hard for them to be comfortable with other people's dreams."
