More quotes by Questlove
I don't think crack happened by accident. I'm part conspiracy theorist, because you can't develop something that dangerous and have it not be planned.
Questlove
I cannot keep a girlfriend longer than seven months. I have 12 jobs. I don't have time for my personal life. I'm fully aware that this is the sacrifice.
Questlove
Working with the artist elite can be like banging your head against the wall.
Questlove
Every time a new record started, people exhaled with pleasure, or their bodies moved automatically. I really started getting high off of the euphoric exclamations. Every record I put on was like a baptism.
Questlove
I'm a 24-hour tweet machine, I'm a 24-hour blogger. When there's no pressure on me, I can talk and write and lecture with the best of them. But put a deadline on me and I start getting writer's block.
Questlove
Kurt Cobain represents a very legit, realistic outlook. Before that, in my head, to be a white artist was to be privileged.
Questlove
At the end of the day, I don't release any records that I'm not proud to put my name on. I never got to that point.

I keep moving through time and time keeps moving through me. And through that process, life takes shape. The question is what shape it is. I'm not the first person to ask that question, or to see how absurd it is to think there's a real answer. Maybe life's a circle.

For anyone that's ever had a musical breakthrough in their career, it's always followed by the departure period right after.
Questlove
I hate videos. I'm meticulous on everything from cover art, fonts, productions, mixing. But when it comes to videos, I just feel so defeated.
Questlove
Half the time, my job is basically to talk people off the ledge. It's more psychological than just me picking up some sticks and counting, 1, 2, 3, 4.
Questlove
During the 2008 election, I made clear to the Obama campaign that I don't think it's wise for me to force my personal political agenda on anyone.
Questlove
I hate holidays because it's the quietest it's the most deafening sound in my apartment.
Questlove
My life's goal is to find a happy medium for sampling to be not only legal but for the right parties to benefit from it. There have to be sampling laws. The survival of hiphop is based on that.
Questlove
I've always been a lover of hoodies. I'm a guy that travels a lot. I'm a guy that spends a lot of time on a cold air-conditioned tour bus. I'm a guy that likes to watch movies in peace. I'm a guy that likes to travel in the airport in peace.
Questlove
The Chronic represented everything that I hated about hip-hop as a fan, but then later represented everything that I stood for as a musician and engineer.
Questlove
It's a funny word, persistence. It means not giving up, but it also means just passing on through time.
Questlove
We have to get back to we. It's important to get back to we not just I.

Funk never dies. It is eternal. It just smells a little different from time to time.
