Questlove
I hear a lot of cries of socialism and certainly real disguises of Why should I share my money with these people? We have to get back to we. It's important to get back to we not just I.

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
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
