I am a huge Prince fan. It's a very rare thing for him to have people open for him. It's been the Time and Sheila E., and that's about it. Building a relationship with him has been like a dream come true. I've been looking for a mentor, and I feel like I have that in him.

People say that they like the characters that they believe that I am. But, I don't as much. I like the characters that I believe that I am not. Like my role on 'Law and Order.' That character unnerved people. And I loved every second of it. I want to continue growing as an actress. There are ways that I can reach quicker, or deeper, with acting.

Being on set is a hard thing. A lot of people are like, oh, you get to make a movie, and it's all fun. But the reality is, it's a lot of hours. It's a lot of reshoots it's a lot of waiting. And you can become increasingly agitated by the amount of time that you are waiting. But that's real.

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
There are a lot of difficulties with people trying to conceive.
Jill Scott
I've always enjoyed shows like 'The X-Files,' where you're on the edge of your seat and you're so invested in these characters.
Jill Scott
Whatever happens in my life, whether I stand up or I fall down, whatever the case, I'm going to use it in my art. Why? Because I'm an artist and I have to.
Jill Scott
It excites me when a person puts their whole self in a song or rhyme, or instrument. It fills me.
Jill Scott
When I sing, I have to live in that moment, so my audience can feel that. That is my reason for doing art.

Power doesn't have to be on such a big scale for powerful things to occur. Within your own home, you can be a powerful woman as a mother, influencing your children's lives.
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
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.

Heartbreak was the impetus to me writing poems and music in the first place.
