It's a funny word, persistence. It means not giving up, but it also means just passing on through time.
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
When you first start off, you see what other people have and quietly say, I want that.
Questlove
My first gig was at Radio City Music Hall when I was 13.
