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.

More quotes by 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
When I first became famous, I didn't know if I could go where I wanted to because I didn't know how people were going to act. Some folks would scream and holler, and I didn't know what to do with that.
Jill Scott
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.
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
If you can't help me grow, there's no point with you being in my life.
Jill Scott
When I was growing up, my mother would take me to plays and museums, and we'd talk about life. Those times helped shape who I became.
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 could float in the pool for hours, just letting the water carry me.
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
Don't stop dreaming just because you had a nightmare.
Jill Scott
My grandmother told me: 'Never be in debt to anyone or anything.' Which is probably why I've never been financially extravagant - I still go to Costco. I'm always conscious of living within my means.
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
I defy any woman who is pregnant and trying to concentrate really hard not to feel distracted.
Jill Scott
Balancing is hard. I've lost roles that I really wanted because I had set up a tour. I cancelled tours to do roles before. But I have to find the time to make that up to my audience. I made a commitment to them.
Jill Scott
I've been enjoying playing with fashion - gold grills and diamond grills have just become a part of that.
Jill Scott
I am more spiritual than religious.
Jill Scott
Everybody is supposed to be a part of their own community.
Jill Scott
People think that lemon is good for the voice, but it dries it out.
Jill Scott
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
A woman is more than the sum of her parts.
