“There was the time I bought three cars in the span of three or four we...” — J. Cole Quote

“There was the time I bought three cars in the span of three or four weeks. It was crazy; it wasn't greedy. It was mine, my girl's, my mom's. I got Benzes for my ladies. But I felt crazy. You have to understand I come from a world where we're very modest. But that's not greedy. That's nice, right?”

“Sometimes I try a Mai Tai. It's so fruity. It's a little embarrassing, but I like it.”

“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.”

“I do put a lot of God in my music, but not because I'm super religious. There are a lot of demons in my music, too. I acknowledge both.”

“As much as it might look like, to someone else, that I'm successful, I never feel like I'm anywhere. The further I go, I still feel equally further from my eventual goal. Because as I grow, I get more goals. I'm never content.”

“The first game I actually bought myself with my own money was 'The Bard's Tale.'”

“I bought a flat in Camden when I was 26, which I was extremely lucky to do. I think it's an Irish thing about owning land, giving you a bit of security.”

“I like the concept of dressing people. I used to not care whether people bought the clothes or not, but I kind of like it now. I wouldn't label that commercialism; it's more like I do this work because I want people to wear it.”

“My first year on 'SNL', I made $90,000 dollars. And I bought a red Corvette for $45,000 dollars. I'm thinking, 'I've got 45 grand left!' Taxes didn't even come into my equation. At the end of the first year of making 90 grand I was 25, 30 in the hole. We live in this baller, spend-money culture.”

“Once I got my license, I was like 'I need a car,' so I bought a car. It made sense for the time.”

“I did work and bought all my own clothes and shoes since I was 9 years old. That's not a typical American childhood life.”
