More quotes by 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.

I don't think crack happened by accident. I'm part conspiracy theorist, because you can't develop something that dangerous and have it not be planned.

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.

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.

It's a funny word, persistence. It means not giving up, but it also means just passing on through time.
Questlove
There's no such thing as success on an isolated level.
Questlove
Classical music requires an immense amount of concentration, and I don't know if I would've been that committed to that particular life.
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
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.

My first gig was at Radio City Music Hall when I was 13.
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
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.
Questlove
To be hip-hop is much more than just rapping in the production. It is more in the attitude.
Questlove
Hip-hop is an instant gratification, winners and losers circle, and often those who are losing give up after three or four, five years.
