More quotes by Jill Scott
You owe it to yourself to live beautifully. And I am.
Jill Scott
Singing and acting suit me. I made a vow to myself, to do everything that I can do with this life that I have, and I have to find the time to do this. Sometimes I need to be an actress. Sometimes I don't need to be Jill.
Jill Scott
When I auditioned with Anthony Minghella (The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency), I loved the audition process, although I hated him for it. Because he had me audition six times for that role. Maybe three hours each. He wanted to see how quickly I could vary.
Jill Scott
I think, as an artist, you have to have experienced some deep turmoil, some kind of pain, because that's what connects you with the world. That's what makes it juicy!
Jill Scott
That's what I enjoy most about my music, that it heals in its own time and makes us look at ourselves in its own time.
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
When you get a jean for a larger girl, you have to have them tailored for you. Tailoring is indeed everything.
Jill Scott
We all get angry and jealous sometimes, none of us is perfect, but we should not try to be different.
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 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
I think all any artist or person wants to do is grow spiritually, emotionally, professionally and mentally.
Jill Scott
My grill is intended to be discreet. It's there because I enjoy jewelry.
Jill Scott
I'm a secret interior decorator. There's a mural on my dining room wall of the railroad tracks at 30th Street Station in Philadelphia. I love having my hometown with me out here in California.
Jill Scott
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 could float in the pool for hours, just letting the water carry me.
Jill Scott
People think that lemon is good for the voice, but it dries it out.
Jill Scott
My mother's a genius. She just kept feeding me art on whatever we had paper plates, silver platter, didn't matter. You know, she just kept feeding it to me. So we went to see all kinds of theater. We would go to the art museum pretty much every Sunday, and I would watch her. She let me know that art was supposed to touch.
Jill Scott
Everybody is supposed to be a part of their own community.
Jill Scott
Heartbreak was the impetus to me writing poems and music in the first place.
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
