More quotes by Jill Scott
When you get a jean for a larger girl, you have to have them tailored for you. Tailoring is indeed everything.

Soul music is about longevity and reaching and touching people on a human level - and that's never going to get lost.

I did an internship at the Ardent theatre company in Philly after dropping out of college. I was earning $165 a week building sets and cleaning the toilets. Cleaning toilets is a good way of getting in touch with your creativity. That's when you find out if you got anything going on in your head.
Jill Scott
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.

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.

When I was 12, I wrote a list of things to do before I died. Own a Picasso was one of those things.

People think that lemon is good for the voice, but it dries it out.

We all get angry and jealous sometimes, none of us is perfect, but we should not try to be different.

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.

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.

I was backstage at the House of Blues in L.A where I was about to perform, and Stevie Wonder and Prince turned up at my dressing room together! Stevie started beat boxing and Prince started singing one of my songs, all of a sudden it was like I was in a cypher with these incredible artists.

Our minds do understand that people of all races find genuine love in many places. We dig that the world is full of amazing options.
Jill Scott
I like to be in the now, now. Sometimes musicians have to wait for me to be genuine with it. As an actor, I don't have that luxury. You have to make it legit when they say 'action.'
Jill Scott
For a writer it's a dream to sit and watch people as close as possible.
Jill Scott
I'm going to be a strict mum. I know that love is the most important thing - you've got to have lots of kisses and cuddles - but you also need to mix it with discipline or you'll be in a heap of trouble.
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
If a woman is happy, then your society is happy.
Jill Scott
The video for 'Whatever' is kind of a documentary in a way. It's showing that love can last. Not just in your early 20s or your late 30s, but in your 50s, 60s and 70s. There's an awful myth out there that when you get married, love and lovemaking fade. It's not true.
Jill Scott
Everybody is supposed to be a part of their own community.
Jill Scott
People is, I think, it's their nature - some people's nature, in a way, to be angry or jealous or just spiteful about somebody else's blessings.
