More quotes by 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.
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
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 love traveling the States no matter what. I love traveling abroad, going to Japan and Australia. I love it. I never get tired of it.

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

Funk never dies. It is eternal. It just smells a little different from time to time.
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
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
Switching off perfection switched on the human quality
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 prefer to unwind by DJing. I learned that from Mike D from the Beastie Boys. After a show, he would DJ. Once I saw that, I wanted to do that. And now DJing is like my lifeline. I love the power it represents.
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 hear a lot of cries of socialism and certainly real disguises of Why should I share my money with these people? We have to get back to we. It's important to get back to we not just I.
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
My life's goal is to find a happy medium for sampling to be not only legal but for the right parties to benefit from it. There have to be sampling laws. The survival of hiphop is based on that.
