More quotes by Wale
I don't wanna sound pretentious talking about myself.
Wale
You're the artist - you make the music that you want to make.
Wale
I'm not really caught up with celebrity women. I think a regular girl that goes to school or works at a Complex or Spin or Blender or whatever, one of those magazines. She'd probably be flyer to me than the person she's writing about.
Wale
It's something to be Great, It's nothing to be Famous
Wale
I don't want to be one of those guys that you see who made $4 million, invested $3.5 million, and now you work at Wendy's.
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'm a black man in the United States of America, so I always feel like there's a target on me.
Wale
Failure is not an option. Success is just a process.
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
Initially, I felt like my duty was to just keep it positive and be positive and sometimes I crack in that. We're human. I'm imperfect at times and that was just me being imperfect at that one point.
Wale
The Loudest person in the room, is usually the brokest
Wale
I'm just trying to make the best music I can possibly make and represent the new class or whatever. Myself and Cudi and Asher and B.o.B. That's all I can do at this point.
Wale
Maybe they just like me because they like me, and they don't like me because they feel like they have to like me because they like this person or that person.
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
The first thing that's important is to really have people believe in you. If you have that, you can do anything.
Wale
Every artist is supposed to get emotional. You're painting pictures of emotions.
Wale
Charles is Charles. Wale is Wale. It's two separate entities that have nothing to do with each other and probably will never have anything to do with each other and I wish him the best.
Wale
I dated all these girls and ended up not liking them and thought to myself, 'What was it that all of them had in common?' They had too much time on their hands. Even though they were pretty, they lacked something. A woman could be less attractive but with ambition and drive, that's the most beautiful thing.
Wale
I hope everybody thinks they've got the best album. I wouldn't have put mine out if I didn't think it was the best.
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
