More quotes by 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
I chose No. 1 Ladies' Detective, or I'll say it chose me, and it was an absolute blessing, for the experience of being in Africa for seven months and learning so many different things, from languages to foods to greetings. On so many levels, it was an incredible experience.
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
My intention is to make music that you can enjoy at all times.
Jill Scott
I love foods that start in my cheeks and then vibrate up.
Jill Scott
It excites me when a person puts their whole self in a song or rhyme, or instrument. It fills me.
Jill Scott
One of the things I love about Africa is the amount of dignity and respect and humility you see all the time. You don't realise how often you're disrespected until you are surrounded by respect.
Jill Scott
I don't rhyme right now, but I may ten years from now.
Jill Scott
To be a queen of a household is a powerful thing.
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
We all get angry and jealous sometimes, none of us is perfect, but we should not try to be different.
Jill Scott
If a woman is happy, then your society is happy.
Jill Scott
Sometimes, for principle, your gonna have to kick some ass.
Jill Scott
When I sing, I have to live in that moment, so my audience can feel that. That is my reason for doing art.
Jill Scott
Back in my mid-20s I was told I'd never be able to have children as I wasn't having periods. Doctors tried to start up my monthly cycles, but when nothing worked, they actually offered me a hysterectomy. Without it, they said I might get ovarian cancer in the future. I chose not to have the operation, and am so glad I didn't.
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'm going to do as much as I can with this life, and then I'm going to make sure to take some time off and be simple and ride my bike and hang out with friends.
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
One day, I just got up to read a poem and started singing. I looked around - the reaction was great. And I said, oh, boy. I like this.
Jill Scott
I need to find creative diversity because if I get stuck, I get unhappy.
