More quotes by 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.

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
I don't have friends, and it's hard for me to make new friends. Right now, the people that are in my life are the people that I work with.

I really appreciate when people use their fame and their voice for more than just self-promotion, starting a dialogue about a topic or an issue much bigger than themselves.

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.

My first gig was at Radio City Music Hall when I was 13.
Questlove
Jay-Z is a dude that can give you a hundred 'Simpsons' quotes, like, 'What you know about the monorail?'
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
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 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.
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
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 a funny word, persistence. It means not giving up, but it also means just passing on through time.

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.
