More quotes by Questlove
My first gig was at Radio City Music Hall when I was 13.
Questlove
My parents were really strict about me not watching cartoons.
Questlove
I hate holidays because it's the quietest it's the most deafening sound in my apartment.
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.

At 25, my idea of success may have been more vain, like, I'll be good the day that there's $20 million in my account and I have this particular house and the wife and 2.5 kids. But at 40 - and I know it's kind of silly telling you guys this - but as long as my Metacritic rating stays above 80, that's all I care about.

Questlove
To be hip-hop is much more than just rapping in the production. It is more in the attitude.
Questlove
We have to get back to we. It's important to get back to we not just I.
Questlove
It's easy for me to say, Oh yeah, that's the self-saboteur move that most artists pull whenever they're afraid.
Questlove
It's funny, I can see the science in how music is made with other artists, but it's hard for me to dissect my own thing.
Questlove
Jay-Z is a dude that can give you a hundred 'Simpsons' quotes, like, 'What you know about the monorail?'
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
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
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
There's no such thing as success on an isolated level.
Questlove
I don't have friends, and it's hard for me to make new friends. Right now, the people that are in my life are the people that I work with.
