College isn't in everyone's hearts. I am living proof, though, that school doesn't mess up your plans. It gives you more experiences to write about.

Tupac was just so passionate about what he believes in and not afraid to say anything.

Touring is very routine. You get to the city, you go to the hotel, you got to be at the hotel by a certain time - it's very routine. I'm not a very structured person, so when I get some structure, it's cool it's good for me.

I'm half-black, half-white, so I basically put it like this: I can fit in anywhere. That's why I write so many stories from so many different perspectives, because I've seen so many.

Sometimes I try a Mai Tai. It's so fruity. It's a little embarrassing, but I like it.

I've got two Rolexes that I'm very proud of - a gold Presidential that was a gift and a white gold one I gifted myself. I'm trying to step my game up and get a few more of those.

Anything's possible, you gotta dream like you never seen obstacles.

I never really told anybody that I'm a rapper. I wasn't walking around being like, Yo, check out my mixtape! It was more of a secret grind.

When composing music, I just start spilling things out and then wait until they take form, you know what I mean, until I see like a common thread or something.

School is a good place - it ain't for everybody, but I think it's for most people.
J. Cole
Image
I had a lot of resistance, and not just to fame. I was always conscious of not changing.
J. Cole
Image
I don't wanna forget the fact that I wanna be one of the best rappers. I feel like some of the best rappers ever - 2Pac, namely, one of them - could take sub-par beats or average beats and turn them into incredible songs.
J. Cole
Image
My real dream is to have a whole, like, buy a whole piece of land. Imagine, like, a long driveway. Like, a cul de sac-type street, with maybe, like, seven houses. Me be right here. Have my mom be able to be right here. My brother over here. My girl's grandmother and family right here. Friends over there. That's my real dream.

If I lost your respect...I'm just hope you don't look at me as something you regret.
J. Cole
Image
A lot of my music is just self-observation. Like telling you, Oh man. What did I just do? How much did I just pay for this chain? Why did I do that? Wait a minute. Let me talk about that. Or like, the temptation. Let me talk about that. Let me observe myself.

I'm here to spread a message of hope. Follow your heart. Don't follow what you've been told you're supposed to do.

Image
I don't live for the accolades. I'm more so about the music. Making it, and putting it out. Those are the two best feelings.

No rapper in the world from Jay-Z to Tupac to Biggie has 100 percent love on everything they do.
J. Cole
Image
I put a lot of pressure on myself. I think something's not good enough, and I won't stop until I feel like I've made it. I'm never satisfied.

Image
Marriage is just a relationship to me. In my experience, when you've been in a relationship for as long as I've been in one, there's no real difference. It's just a piece of paper that validates what was already real.
