More quotes by Questlove
I feel like the downfall of any person is the second an artist starts celebrating their work themselves, that becomes problematic.
Questlove
Kurt Cobain represents a very legit, realistic outlook. Before that, in my head, to be a white artist was to be privileged.
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 never want to get to that level of poverty where taking a bath has to be a hot-pot experience.
Questlove
Working with the artist elite can be like banging your head against the wall.
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
I keep moving through time and time keeps moving through me. And through that process, life takes shape. The question is what shape it is. I'm not the first person to ask that question, or to see how absurd it is to think there's a real answer. Maybe life's a circle.
Questlove
Half the time, my job is basically to talk people off the ledge. It's more psychological than just me picking up some sticks and counting, 1, 2, 3, 4.
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
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 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
We have to get back to we. It's important to get back to we not just I.
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
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
Crack offered a lot of money to the inner-city youth who didn't go to college. Which enabled them to become businessmen. I know about maybe five people in the entertainment industry who did their peak work as a result of crack usage.
Questlove
When you first start off, you see what other people have and quietly say, I want that.
Questlove
There's no such thing as success on an isolated level.
Questlove
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.
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 hate holidays because it's the quietest it's the most deafening sound in my apartment.
