Questlove
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.

Jay-Z is a dude that can give you a hundred 'Simpsons' quotes, like, 'What you know about the monorail?'
Questlove
It's a funny word, persistence. It means not giving up, but it also means just passing on through time.
Questlove
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.
Questlove
My first gig was at Radio City Music Hall when I was 13.
Questlove
For anyone that's ever had a musical breakthrough in their career, it's always followed by the departure period right after.
Questlove
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
To be hip-hop is much more than just rapping in the production. It is more in the attitude.
Questlove
