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

Kurt Cobain represents a very legit, realistic outlook. Before that, in my head, to be a white artist was to be privileged.
Questlove
My parents were really strict about me not watching cartoons.
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.
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
Switching off perfection switched on the human quality
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.
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
For anyone that's ever had a musical breakthrough in their career, it's always followed by the departure period right after.
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.
