More quotes by Questlove
To be hip-hop is much more than just rapping in the production. It is more in the attitude.
Questlove
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.

Questlove
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.
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.
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
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
Working with the artist elite can be like banging your head against the wall.
Questlove
You can't live off of just greasy fatty foods and stayin' up till six in the mornin' just partyin'. You gotta take care of yourself.
Questlove
Funk never dies. It is eternal. It just smells a little different from time to time.
Questlove
For anyone that's ever had a musical breakthrough in their career, it's always followed by the departure period right after.
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.
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.
