More quotes by Jill Scott
I think what irks me is that I feel like women are really being compartmentalized physically, and it's been done so much that now we're doing it to ourselves. I don't like it.
Jill Scott
When I got my success I became decadent for a while. This was 2003 to 2008. I fell for tiramisu really hard. I've become more moderate since, because African-Americans are prone to diabetes.

When you get a jean for a larger girl, you have to have them tailored for you. Tailoring is indeed everything.

If a woman is happy, then your society is happy.
Jill Scott
I'd been told that when you first put your feet on African ground, you'll be hit by a feeling of overwhelming understanding, like you've returned home and suddenly belong. Quite frankly, I didn't feel that.
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.

There's a high school in Camden, New Jersey, I call the Jill Scott School. It's the Camden Creative Arts High School. Those teachers and kids are so passionate about what they do, and 98 percent of the senior class went on to college.
Jill Scott
I don't write on demand - I wait for inspiration to come.
Jill Scott
I could float in the pool for hours, just letting the water carry me.
Jill Scott
I'm a girl who enjoys a great meal with great friends, so I'm not really that concerned about weight loss.
Jill Scott
I don't necessarily think of myself as a feminist, but I'm a whole person. I'm not just breasts or ass or thighs - I'm a whole being! And it just seems like women aren't necessarily striving to be the whole of themselves.
Jill Scott
I chose No. 1 Ladies' Detective, or I'll say it chose me, and it was an absolute blessing, for the experience of being in Africa for seven months and learning so many different things, from languages to foods to greetings. On so many levels, it was an incredible experience.
Jill Scott
People think that lemon is good for the voice, but it dries it out.
Jill Scott
You owe it to yourself to live beautifully. And I am.
Jill Scott
To be a queen of a household is a powerful thing.
Jill Scott
When I was growing up, my mother would take me to plays and museums, and we'd talk about life. Those times helped shape who I became.
