More quotes by Jill Scott
Singing and acting suit me. I made a vow to myself, to do everything that I can do with this life that I have, and I have to find the time to do this. Sometimes I need to be an actress. Sometimes I don't need to be Jill.
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
Once I started looking for a record deal, I had a trainer. And the trainer told me that I would never sell a record if I didn't lose weight.
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
When I auditioned with Anthony Minghella (The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency), I loved the audition process, although I hated him for it. Because he had me audition six times for that role. Maybe three hours each. He wanted to see how quickly I could vary.

For anyone who feels they are overwhelmed by their job, or maybe they take their job too seriously or are working too hard, I say go to a safari, particularly the Okavango Delta, and just be humbled.
Jill Scott
When I write a song, I tap into the emotion and the feeling and then I use the emotion to write the words. It's the opposite when I act. I use the words and tap into the emotion.
Jill Scott
I need to find creative diversity because if I get stuck, I get unhappy.
Jill Scott
There are a lot of difficulties with people trying to conceive.
Jill Scott
I've learned that friendship does not equate business, business does not equate friendship.
Jill Scott
Soul music is about longevity and reaching and touching people on a human level - and that's never going to get lost.
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
I like to read Octavia E. Butler's 'Wild Seed' over and over again. And J. California Cooper's 'The Wake of the Wind.' That one makes me cry from joy. I'll mourn - I'll actually mourn - and then I'll cry from joy. She's wonderful.
Jill Scott
I think what irks me is that I feel like women are really being compartmentalized physically, and it's been done so much that now we're doing it to ourselves. I don't like it.
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
All man-made religions are limited. I go my own way.
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 don't write on demand - I wait for inspiration to come.
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
I love foods that start in my cheeks and then vibrate up.
