When you first start off, you see what other people have and quietly say, I want that.
Questlove
I feel like the downfall of any person is the second an artist starts celebrating their work themselves, that becomes problematic.
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
Working with the artist elite can be like banging your head against the wall.
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.

The only mofos in my circle are people that I can learn from.

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

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.

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.

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 never want to get to that level of poverty where taking a bath has to be a hot-pot experience.
Questlove
For anyone that's ever had a musical breakthrough in their career, it's always followed by the departure period right after.
Questlove
My parents were really strict about me not watching cartoons.
Questlove
My life's goal is to find a happy medium for sampling to be not only legal but for the right parties to benefit from it. There have to be sampling laws. The survival of hiphop is based on that.
Questlove
It's a funny word, persistence. It means not giving up, but it also means just passing on through time.
Questlove
I really appreciate when people use their fame and their voice for more than just self-promotion, starting a dialogue about a topic or an issue much bigger than themselves.
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
When you live your life through records, the records are a record of your life.
