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
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
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.

I never want to get to that level of poverty where taking a bath has to be a hot-pot experience.
Questlove
When you first start off, you see what other people have and quietly say, I want that.
Questlove
We have to get back to we. It's important to get back to we not just I.
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 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'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.

For anyone that's ever had a musical breakthrough in their career, it's always followed by the departure period right after.
