"People think because I've got some success, I've made it, but in my eyes it's like, 'How long has Ja..." — 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.

I'm a super-duper over-analyzer. You mix that with self-doubt and pressure, and that's never healthy.

There's been people who've rapped and produced - like Kanye - but I don't feel like on the rapping side there's ever been a producer who can rap as good as I think I can rap.

I feel like the reason people feel like they know me is because I'm giving you myself in the music. There's where the connection comes from; you can't Twitter that.
