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.

More quotes by Questlove
Kurt Cobain represents a very legit, realistic outlook. Before that, in my head, to be a white artist was to be privileged.
Questlove
When you live your life through records, the records are a record of your life.
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.

I prefer to unwind by DJing. I learned that from Mike D from the Beastie Boys. After a show, he would DJ. Once I saw that, I wanted to do that. And now DJing is like my lifeline. I love the power it represents.

I believe that the only people who really, truly benefit from any of the policies of Republicans are the wealthy. I'm in that 1 percent tax bracket, but I'm not a man of wealth.

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.

I love traveling the States no matter what. I love traveling abroad, going to Japan and Australia. I love it. I never get tired of it.

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
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 holidays because it's the quietest it's the most deafening sound in my apartment.
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.

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
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
When you first start off, you see what other people have and quietly say, I want that.
Questlove
It's a funny word, persistence. It means not giving up, but it also means just passing on through time.
Questlove
We have to get back to we. It's important to get back to we not just I.

My parents were really strict about me not watching cartoons.

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.
