More quotes by 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'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.
Questlove
When you first start off, you see what other people have and quietly say, I want that.
Questlove
We have to get back to we. It's important to get back to we not just I.
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
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
Switching off perfection switched on the human quality
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
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
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
Working with the artist elite can be like banging your head against the wall.
