The best gift I was ever given was the arts. My mum gave me those on a silver platter. Growing up, her and my grandmother would take me to ballets, classical concerts, even smoky jazz clubs I wasn't supposed to be in!

More quotes by Jill Scott
Africa the continent is not just what we see on the news. It's... not AIDS, and it's not just war and poverty. It's so much more. It's an abundant continent, and Botswana is an abundant place.

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.

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
It excites me when a person puts their whole self in a song or rhyme, or instrument. It fills me.
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
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
There are a lot of difficulties with people trying to conceive.
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
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
A woman is more than the sum of her parts.
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.
