More quotes by Jill Scott
All I have to do is be me on stage. But acting, I have to be someone else, and walk how they would walk and blink how they would blink. I used to talk about it bad like, 'Aw man, that person made $10 million a movie?' But now I understand why they do. I get it now.

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
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
I need to find creative diversity because if I get stuck, I get unhappy.
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.'

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
Everybody is supposed to be a part of their own community.

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.
Jill Scott
For a writer it's a dream to sit and watch people as close as possible.
Jill Scott
When I was 12, I wrote a list of things to do before I died. Own a Picasso was one of those things.
Jill Scott
If you can't help me grow, there's no point with you being in my life.
Jill Scott
I love foods that start in my cheeks and then vibrate up.
Jill Scott
All man-made religions are limited. I go my own way.
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
'True Blood' excites me. It scares me, but it excites me.
Jill Scott
My grill is intended to be discreet. It's there because I enjoy jewelry.
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
Heartbreak was the impetus to me writing poems and music in the first place.
Jill Scott
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.

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.
