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.
Questlove
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.
