More quotes by Questlove

Questlove
Hip-hop is an instant gratification, winners and losers circle, and often those who are losing give up after three or four, five years.
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
I love traveling the States no matter what. I love traveling abroad, going to Japan and Australia. I love it. I never get tired of it.

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
It's a funny word, persistence. It means not giving up, but it also means just passing on through time.

I grew up in somewhat of a war zone in West Philadelphia in 1985, '86. It wasn't as extreme as someone coming in the classroom and just unloading on a class, but I knew to take the scenic route to go to the grocery store to avoid certain elements.
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.

My first gig was at Radio City Music Hall when I was 13.
