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

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
My parents were really strict about me not watching cartoons.
Questlove
Kurt Cobain represents a very legit, realistic outlook. Before that, in my head, to be a white artist was to be privileged.
Questlove
It's a funny word, persistence. It means not giving up, but it also means just passing on through time.
Questlove
It's easy for me to say, Oh yeah, that's the self-saboteur move that most artists pull whenever they're afraid.
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.
