More quotes by Jill Scott
If a woman is happy, then your society is happy.
Jill Scott
For my writing, and because I love talking to young women about life, I often asked them which would they rather have - a father in the house with them while growing up or a big butt? I tell you 86 percent of the time, girls say a big butt because it gets them further.
Jill Scott
People think that lemon is good for the voice, but it dries it out.
Jill Scott
Anytime you share life stories with other people, you know, you are acknowledging their humanity and kind of accessing some things about yourself, and other people start to expect things about themselves. It's kind of like a fellowship.
Jill Scott
Don't stop dreaming just because you had a nightmare.

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.

I was once making a burger for myself at my boyfriend's house and a lyric started pouring out and I had to catch it, so I ran to another room to write it down, but then the kitchen caught fire. His cabinets were charred, and he was furious. But it was worth it for a song.

My intention is to make music that you can enjoy at all times.

Once I started looking for a record deal, I had a trainer. And the trainer told me that I would never sell a record if I didn't lose weight.

'True Blood' excites me. It scares me, but it excites me.
Jill Scott
My grill is intended to be discreet. It's there because I enjoy jewelry.

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
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
I truly loved being pregnant and feeling what was going on inside my body and watching it change. It's difficult to recoup, but still amazing nonetheless. I would have another one.
Jill Scott
I don't write on demand - I wait for inspiration to come.
Jill Scott
I love foods that start in my cheeks and then vibrate up.
Jill Scott
I have been training since 8th grade, but it has to do with listening, more than practice.
Jill Scott
Just because you have a nightmare doesn't mean you stop dreaming.
Jill Scott
I've been enjoying playing with fashion - gold grills and diamond grills have just become a part of that.
Jill Scott
For a writer it's a dream to sit and watch people as close as possible.
