More quotes by 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
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
It's a funny word, persistence. It means not giving up, but it also means just passing on through time.
Questlove
I feel like the downfall of any person is the second an artist starts celebrating their work themselves, that becomes problematic.
Questlove
When you first start off, you see what other people have and quietly say, I want that.

Funk never dies. It is eternal. It just smells a little different from time to time.
Questlove
I hate holidays because it's the quietest it's the most deafening sound in my apartment.

Working with the artist elite can be like banging your head against the wall.

I grew up in somewhat of a war zone in West Philadelphia in 1985, '86. It wasn't as extreme as someone coming in the classroom and just unloading on a class, but I knew to take the scenic route to go to the grocery store to avoid certain elements.
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'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
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 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.

Switching off perfection switched on the human quality

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.
Questlove
There's no such thing as success on an isolated level.

I never want to get to that level of poverty where taking a bath has to be a hot-pot experience.
