Kim Kardashian West's July 2015 Glamour Cover Interview

GLAMOUR: But it's also hard having that much responsibility.

__KKW:__Yeah, but I thought it would be. My best friend told me, "You'll never remember what your life was like before her, but it'll be OK."... North has taught me patience. There's nothing I wouldn't do for her. And nothing I wouldn't do for my husband. She's empowered us to want to be the best parents and the best spouses.... Today North put on these Manolo heels of mine and was walking perfectly around my closet. I sent Kanye a video of her; he was like, "Tell her to stop! She cannot grow up, she cannot wear your heels."

__GLAMOUR:__You're turning 35 in October. Do you feel like you are living the way you want to live right now?

__KKW:__I do. I mean, obviously as you grow up, no one's ever 100 percent proud of every decision that they've made, and that's OK. I think as long as you learn from your mistakes, and don't make them over and over again, you're on the right path.

__GLAMOUR:__You said recently that you don't consider yourself a role model because of certain choices you've made.

KKW: I'm not trying to influence anyone else; I'm not saying, "Do what I do." I think it's a little pretentious to say, "I'm a role model"; I would never say that, and I don't think of myself that way. Are there things I'd take back? I don't know if I'd take back the lessons that I've learned. Yeah, there are things that I'd be embarrassed about or wish didn't happen, but if I didn't have all those bad, crazy things, would I be who I am today? I don't know.

GLAMOUR: Your Paper cover last fall bragged that it would "break the Internet." Looking back, do you love it? Any regrets about it?

KKW: I love it! We were just shooting a cover, me in the dress with the champagne glass. But [photographer] Jean-Paul Goude gave me a book of his images when I was in makeup, and it was, like, Naomi Campbell naked and hanging from a rope—one of the coolest shots I've ever seen. So I said to him, "Hey, there's no rush. My publicist isn't here. We can kick the magazine out. If you want to work more, I'm here all night." When everyone came back, I was like, "You guys are going to die when you see what we did." I had dinner with my mom and Kanye afterward; they were like, "How was your shoot?" I was like, "Oh, good." I didn't say anything. When the magazine came out, my mom called screaming, "You didn't f--king warn me!" She went so crazy. I was like, "Relax, it's my shoot, my body, my life."

GLAMOUR: If North wanted to do a shoot like that one day, would you be like, "Go for it"?

KKW: I think I would if it were done artsy and cool. I can't speak for Kanye—he freaks out when she tries on my heels.
