More quotes by Jill Scott
I just think fashion is about enjoying yourself and being comfortable in your skin and allowing you to be you - all the way live.
Jill Scott
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
My grill is intended to be discreet. It's there because I enjoy jewelry.
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 you have a cast and crew of people who make it light hearted and crack jokes, and break treats, and understand that we are all in this together. That's a biggest plus that you can have.
Jill Scott
Heartbreak was the impetus to me writing poems and music in the first place.
Jill Scott
I defy any woman who is pregnant and trying to concentrate really hard not to feel distracted.
Jill Scott
A woman is more than the sum of her parts.
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
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
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
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
In Philadelphia, you are welcome, and that's The City of Brotherly Love. I think that makes us culturally thick and sound, so you can experience all kinds of cultural authenticity.
Jill Scott
I don't write on demand - I wait for inspiration to come.
Jill Scott
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.
Jill Scott
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.
Jill Scott
I've been enjoying playing with fashion - gold grills and diamond grills have just become a part of that.
Jill Scott
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.
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.
Jill Scott
'True Blood' excites me. It scares me, but it excites me.
