More quotes by 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
Just because you have a nightmare doesn't mean you stop dreaming.
Jill Scott
My grill is intended to be discreet. It's there because I enjoy jewelry.
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
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
We all get angry and jealous sometimes, none of us is perfect, but we should not try to be different.
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

I think the first time I really heard poetry was in the schoolyard. Just the little limericks that kids say when they're jumping rope and playing games. I think that's the first time I heard rhyming words - I don't know if I'd call that the definitive poetry, but that's when I heard rhyming words said and not necessarily sung.
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
Sometimes I felt as a writer I was purging, and it almost hurt to purge to that level. Now it doesn't feel that way, maybe because I'm older. Maybe life has given me some punches, but it didn't knock me down.
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
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 don't rhyme right now, but I may ten years from now.
Jill Scott
If I feel really ugly or unhappy, sometimes I'll choose bright colors so they'll make me feel good. Yellows, pinks, light blues and orange. I just want to feel good all the time if I can. And colors and hairstyles and all that kind of helps out.
Jill Scott
There are a lot of difficulties with people trying to conceive.
