More quotes by 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. 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
I never want to get to that level of poverty where taking a bath has to be a hot-pot experience.
Questlove
Jay-Z is a dude that can give you a hundred 'Simpsons' quotes, like, 'What you know about the monorail?'
Questlove
For anyone that's ever had a musical breakthrough in their career, it's always followed by the departure period right after.
Questlove
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
Working with the artist elite can be like banging your head against the wall.
Questlove
To be hip-hop is much more than just rapping in the production. It is more in the attitude.
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
There's no such thing as success on an isolated level.
Questlove
I keep moving through time and time keeps moving through me. And through that process, life takes shape. The question is what shape it is. I'm not the first person to ask that question, or to see how absurd it is to think there's a real answer. Maybe life's a circle.
