More quotes by 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
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
Riding in another drop, ain't talking Enterprise They try to see me, get diabetes from humble pie
Wale
I'm a black man in the United States of America, so I always feel like there's a target on me.
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
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
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
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
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
May the optimism of tomorrow be your foundation for today.
Wale
It's something to be Great, It's nothing to be Famous
Wale
You never wanna see yourself there. Like, ever. I'd rather go to jail than see myself on Step Your Rap Game up because I take a lot of time with my stuff.
Wale
Life without dreaming is a life without meaning.
Wale
The Loudest person in the room, is usually the brokest
Wale
You niggas so-so like a seamstress.
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
I'm a regular person. I know a lot of people love being famous. I don't like it. I'm just chillin'. YouknowwhatI'msayin'?
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
One thing Jay z told me that always sticks with me, is that, the album is never how you viewed it to be.
