If I was to go to sleep before midnight, I would feel weird about myself, like I wasted a day. My most productive hours are between midnight and five.

More quotes by J. Cole
While silly ni**as argue over who gon' snatch the crown / Look around my ni**a, white people have snatched the sound / This year I'll probably go to the awards dappered down / Watch Iggy win a Grammy as I try to crack a smile.
J. Cole
When you're a rapper, just a rapper, you have to kind of settle for whatever comes your way - if a beat is hot, you wanna rap on it, period.
J. Cole
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.
J. Cole
In hip-hop, there's not a lot of love. There's not a lot of love being spread. It's always like 'I'm stuntin' on you raps, or I'm better than you raps.' It's not a lot of 'Yo man, I idolize you raps.'
J. Cole
I gotta make a move, I gotta do this now, If they don't know your dreams, they can't shoot 'em down.
J. Cole
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.
J. Cole
I yearn for that livin' large, but mama I ain't done yet/Sit back and watch your son rise, kick back and know your son set
J. Cole
No rapper in the world from Jay-Z to Tupac to Biggie has 100 percent love on everything they do.
J. Cole
I'm not gonna be bad at anything, and I want to actually be the best at anything I'm doing. So if I'm playing basketball, if I'm taking the SATs, like, there's a competitive spirit behind it. With production, it's the same thing.
J. Cole
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.
J. Cole
I met Will Smith twice. I didn't talk to him for too long but I was trying to let him know that my age group grew up watching him - he was the coolest guy on television and the coolest guy in movies.
J. Cole
The same ones you love will bring you pain.
J. Cole
When you're headlining, people are paying to come see you specifically. It's a different kind of pressure, because you've got to deliver. You've got to give these people what they paid for. It's a different mind state, a different type of mentality, but it's honestly a pretty good problem to have, you know?

Get on yo job little man this ain't Saturday

It's no coincidence that all the greatest rappers - whoever you put in your top five - I guarantee you they a great storyteller.

Barack Obama would not be President if he were dark skin. You know what I mean? That's just the truth. I might not be as successful as I am now if I was dark skin.
J. Cole
I'm not a conscious rapper, all those things we talk about, the struggle, the pain, the outlook to the future, keep your head up. I try to put all those positive things into a regular human character, which is myself.
J. Cole
So ahead of my time even when i rhyme about the future I be reminiscing

My parents were divorced by the time I was even conscious - like I don't remember them ever being together.

I was a huge Mike Tyson fan growing up his fights were always on in my house.
