I worked in ad sales. I would call up local businesses and try to get them to buy ads in the paper. The whole time, I felt like I was just scamming people.

More quotes by J. Cole
One day, I'll be listening to a bunch of Ray Charles, the next day it's nothing but Red Hot Chili Peppers. The next day it might be Tupac all day.
J. Cole
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.

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?
J. Cole
I'm the same kid who used to hop the trains with headphones and just go to downtown Manhattan, walk around and listen to music or walk through the city. The fame restricts that. It's a small complaint in comparison to the benefits I get from it, but the restrictive part is what I don't like - and the fact that it's not reversible.
J. Cole
My Mother's an actress, and she's always told me, Boy, you're an actor. I would look forward to seeing if I'm any good. I want to be good at it, that's the only thing.
J. Cole
Sometimes I try a Mai Tai. It's so fruity. It's a little embarrassing, but I like it.
J. Cole
Anything I do, I want to do it well.
J. Cole
I'm already hot, you could say I'm pre-heated. If money talks, mine's telling your's to 'be seated
J. Cole
I now possess the tools as a producer and a songwriter to really just go out and make smashes all day long. I could make an album full of smash records that got pop appeal. But my heart is in hip-hop. My heart is in telling stories. And it's like therapy for me.
J. Cole
One thing you should know about me is I never play to lose, Always aim high and rarely obey the rules.
J. Cole
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.
J. Cole
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.
J. Cole
My parents were divorced by the time I was even conscious - like I don't remember them ever being together.
J. Cole
Promise to my momma I'ma make it to the Top.. So I'ma keep climbing til my heartbeat drop
J. Cole
It's no coincidence that all the greatest rappers - whoever you put in your top five - I guarantee you they a great storyteller.

Get on yo job little man this ain't Saturday
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
I had a lot of resistance, and not just to fame. I was always conscious of not changing.
J. Cole
I was a class clown. At 12, I was definitely clowning. I was making all the jokes. But I was smart, so the teachers didn't know what to do with me.
J. Cole
I had a rat-tail when I was younger. I had this nice Bobby Brown fade, with a rat-tail that was long enough to wrap around my face. I used to chew on the end and bite it.
