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.

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.

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
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.
