Questlove Artist Quotations

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.

It's easy for me to say, "Oh yeah, that's the self-saboteur move that most artists pull whenever they're afraid."

Working with the artist elite can be like banging your head against the wall.

In the 2000s, I became an artist. I started preserving and educating. I became more obsessed with making iPod playlists for people.

Kurt Cobain represents a very legit, realistic outlook. Before that, in my head, to be a white artist was to be privileged.

I feel like the downfall of any person is the second an artist starts celebrating their work themselves, that becomes problematic. And you know, I don't sit there, I don't bask in the awards I've won, you know, read my bank statements, I refuse. To me, that's how you start losing the hunger. So for me personally, I just don't celebrate it. I'm happy, right now.
