More quotes by Questlove
To be hip-hop is much more than just rapping in the production. It is more in the attitude.

Questlove
I hate holidays because it's the quietest it's the most deafening sound in my apartment.
Questlove
Kurt Cobain represents a very legit, realistic outlook. Before that, in my head, to be a white artist was to be privileged.
Questlove
I feel like the downfall of any person is the second an artist starts celebrating their work themselves, that becomes problematic.

Crack offered a lot of money to the inner-city youth who didn't go to college. Which enabled them to become businessmen. I know about maybe five people in the entertainment industry who did their peak work as a result of crack usage.
Questlove
You can't live off of just greasy fatty foods and stayin' up till six in the mornin' just partyin'. You gotta take care of yourself.
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
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.
