I have a few caftans just for lounging purposes. When I want to feel free, it's the closest thing to feeling naked without being naked.

More quotes by Jill Scott
Sometimes, for principle, your gonna have to kick some ass.
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.
Jill Scott
If a woman is happy, then your society is happy.
Jill Scott
Africa the continent is not just what we see on the news. It's... not AIDS, and it's not just war and poverty. It's so much more. It's an abundant continent, and Botswana is an abundant place.
Jill Scott
I am more spiritual than religious.
Jill Scott
A woman is more than the sum of her parts.
Jill Scott
It excites me when a person puts their whole self in a song or rhyme, or instrument. It fills me.
Jill Scott
I've been enjoying playing with fashion - gold grills and diamond grills have just become a part of that.
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
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 don't rhyme right now, but I may ten years from now.
Jill Scott
I think all any artist or person wants to do is grow spiritually, emotionally, professionally and mentally.
Jill Scott
When you get a jean for a larger girl, you have to have them tailored for you. Tailoring is indeed everything.
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've been around the world and I've had bras made in different places, and each time I'm experiencing the same troubles: the painful shoulders, the underwire cutting into my flesh.
Jill Scott
Back in my mid-20s I was told I'd never be able to have children as I wasn't having periods. Doctors tried to start up my monthly cycles, but when nothing worked, they actually offered me a hysterectomy. Without it, they said I might get ovarian cancer in the future. I chose not to have the operation, and am so glad I didn't.
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 been reading poetry publicly for 20 years, and this is what you do - you express, you sometimes dig a bit to get a conversation started. That's the point of poetry. You're supposed to go, 'Hmmmm,' and 'Woooh!'
Jill Scott
I'm going to do as much as I can with this life, and then I'm going to make sure to take some time off and be simple and ride my bike and hang out with friends.
Jill Scott
I defy any woman who is pregnant and trying to concentrate really hard not to feel distracted.
