Power doesn't have to be on such a big scale for powerful things to occur. Within your own home, you can be a powerful woman as a mother, influencing your children's lives.

More quotes by Jill Scott
I think all any artist or person wants to do is grow spiritually, emotionally, professionally and mentally.
Jill Scott
My grandmother told me: 'Never be in debt to anyone or anything.' Which is probably why I've never been financially extravagant - I still go to Costco. I'm always conscious of living within my means.
Jill Scott
You owe it to yourself to live beautifully. And I am.
Jill Scott
My intention is to make music that you can enjoy at all times.
Jill Scott
All I have to do is be me on stage. But acting, I have to be someone else, and walk how they would walk and blink how they would blink. I used to talk about it bad like, 'Aw man, that person made $10 million a movie?' But now I understand why they do. I get it now.
Jill Scott
I need to find creative diversity because if I get stuck, I get unhappy.
Jill Scott
People think that lemon is good for the voice, but it dries it out.
Jill Scott
'True Blood' excites me. It scares me, but it excites me.
Jill Scott
When I write a song, I tap into the emotion and the feeling and then I use the emotion to write the words. It's the opposite when I act. I use the words and tap into the emotion.
Jill Scott
I could float in the pool for hours, just letting the water carry me.
Jill Scott
When you have a cast and crew of people who make it light hearted and crack jokes, and break treats, and understand that we are all in this together. That's a biggest plus that you can have.
Jill Scott
I like to read Octavia E. Butler's 'Wild Seed' over and over again. And J. California Cooper's 'The Wake of the Wind.' That one makes me cry from joy. I'll mourn - I'll actually mourn - and then I'll cry from joy. She's wonderful.
Jill Scott
I'm a world-class people watcher. I like to watch people's body movements, their expressions. It says so much about them.
Jill Scott
I've always enjoyed shows like 'The X-Files,' where you're on the edge of your seat and you're so invested in these characters.
Jill Scott
I always wanted to be a renaissance woman, do as many things as I possibly can and hopefully do them well or don't do them at all.
Jill Scott
One of the things I love about Africa is the amount of dignity and respect and humility you see all the time. You don't realise how often you're disrespected until you are surrounded by respect.
Jill Scott
Sometimes I feel like a Buddhist and I need to chant sometimes a Baptist and I need to holler and shout and sometimes I need to be a Catholic and need to purge my sins and confess. It just depends on where I am.
Jill Scott
When I sing, I have to live in that moment, so my audience can feel that. That is my reason for doing art.
Jill Scott
I could hear music playing in the background of works by certain authors, like Poe and Shakespeare. And I discovered Nikki Giovanni when I was in eighth grade. Her writing has a musical energy with pulse and rhythm, almost like jazz or hip-hop.
Jill Scott
I did an internship at the Ardent theatre company in Philly after dropping out of college. I was earning $165 a week building sets and cleaning the toilets. Cleaning toilets is a good way of getting in touch with your creativity. That's when you find out if you got anything going on in your head.
