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.

More quotes by Jill Scott
I've been enjoying playing with fashion - gold grills and diamond grills have just become a part of that.
Jill Scott
My son, Jett, is two, and when I was pregnant my nose got bigger, so I got a new one. Everything was bigger for a while after having Jet, but I knew I needed to be able to walk up my stairs without being winded. It took me two years to lose 60 lbs - lots of walking, bike-riding, kick-boxing and performing.
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
I just think it's silly to be stingy with compliments. If you see someone and they strike you as beautiful in any way, why not let them know?
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
Sometimes I feel like a Buddhist and I need to chant sometimes a Baptist and I need to holler and shout and sometimes I need to be a Catholic and need to purge my sins and confess. It just depends on where I am.
Jill Scott
I'd love to work with Missy Elliott. I'd love to work with Bonnie Raitt. I'd love, love, love to work with Barbra Streisand. I'm reaching, because why not? You don't know what's going to happen in this life.
Jill Scott
I think all any artist or person wants to do is grow spiritually, emotionally, professionally and mentally.
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
My intention is to make music that you can enjoy at all times.
Jill Scott
We all get angry and jealous sometimes, none of us is perfect, but we should not try to be different.
Jill Scott
Everybody is supposed to be a part of their own community.
Jill Scott
I'm a world-class people watcher. I like to watch people's body movements, their expressions. It says so much about them.
Jill Scott
I think the first time I really heard poetry was in the schoolyard. Just the little limericks that kids say when they're jumping rope and playing games. I think that's the first time I heard rhyming words - I don't know if I'd call that the definitive poetry, but that's when I heard rhyming words said and not necessarily sung.
Jill Scott
If you can't help me grow, there's no point with you being in my life.
Jill Scott
There are a lot of difficulties with people trying to conceive.
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.
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
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 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.
