More quotes by Wale
May the optimism of tomorrow be your foundation for today.
Wale
I don't wanna sound pretentious talking about myself.
Wale
I'm never satisfied, man. I'm Virgo. We overanalyze and we're never satisfied. So I'm gonna keep going 'til the wheels fall off.
Wale
Not to sound corny, but intelligence is big. Everything fades, and everything can be modified. But intelligence is something you cant fake. Im not even talking about whether you can read a thesaurus backwards. But there is a beauty in common sense.
Wale
It's something to be Great, It's nothing to be Famous
Wale
I dated a lot, but I never really had anyone who was worthy of an anniversary. And most girlfriends never made it to a year, anyway.
Wale
There's a lot of real unity - and a lot fake unity, sadly. I think a lot of people are going to get an opportunity to pursue greatness and pursue careers outside of D.C. Not everybody is going to make it. I think there's a connotation that there's a lack of rappers out there.
Wale
One thing Jay z told me that always sticks with me, is that, the album is never how you viewed it to be.
Wale
If I woke up tomorrow and didn't have a dolla, as long as I have my heart, I can get it all over.
Wale
I want people to be like, 'Your album's just as good as Kendrick [Lamar]'s or Esperanza Spalding or Beck. I work just as hard as them.
Wale
I could have easily got T-Pain or anybody like that, but let me just get somebody very left. That'll wake them up. Gaga. She's never done a rap record before. Pay attention. It's a method to my madness.
Wale
You niggas so-so like a seamstress.
Wale
Failure is not an option. Success is just a process.
Wale
I like David Beckham just because of his lifestyle. He don't ever need to score another goal again. How many times has he been on the cover of GQ?
Wale
Mix-tapes are something that have been going on for a while. They've been pretty important to hip-hop. It's the way we advertise our music to the public for free.
Wale
I wanna meet the person who wrote the Burlington Coat Factory thing, but that's cool. I would love to understand it more, but everything is good.
Wale
Ambition is priceless, its something that's in your veins.
Wale
You're the artist - you make the music that you want to make.
Wale
I speak my mind. That's what we loved Tupac for.
Wale
I'm a black man in the United States of America, so I always feel like there's a target on me.
Wale
