More quotes by Jill Scott
I have been training since 8th grade, but it has to do with listening, more than practice.
Jill Scott
I've always enjoyed shows like 'The X-Files,' where you're on the edge of your seat and you're so invested in these characters.
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
When I was growing up, my mother would take me to plays and museums, and we'd talk about life. Those times helped shape who I became.
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
I could float in the pool for hours, just letting the water carry me.
Jill Scott
You owe it to yourself to live beautifully. And I am.
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
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
Music shouldn't be a chore or feel like any kind of burden.
Jill Scott
My grill is intended to be discreet. It's there because I enjoy jewelry.
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
If you can't help me grow, there's no point with you being in my life.
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
Heartbreak was the impetus to me writing poems and music in the first place.
Jill Scott
If a woman is happy, then your society is happy.
Jill Scott
I think, as an artist, you have to have experienced some deep turmoil, some kind of pain, because that's what connects you with the world. That's what makes it juicy!
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 never expected the White House to be warm, and the artwork on the walls was extraordinary. I am a fan of the Louvre, but being there it was almost just as good.
Jill Scott
I don't necessarily think of myself as a feminist, but I'm a whole person. I'm not just breasts or ass or thighs - I'm a whole being! And it just seems like women aren't necessarily striving to be the whole of themselves.
Jill Scott
