I tried to manipulate and control people, and I harbored resentment. I wanted to be forgiven, but I wouldn't forgive others.

More quotes by Lauryn Hill
I sit here before you trying to figure out how to pay a tax debt? If that's not like enough to slavery, I don't know.
Lauryn Hill
Over-commercialization and its resulting restrictions and limitations can be very damaging and distorting to the inherent nature of the individual. I did not deliberately abandon my fans, nor did I deliberately abandon any responsibilities.
Lauryn Hill
I do support artists standing by their beliefs, and walking with integrity. We have to find a better way to commercially exploit music, while giving artists their proper respect. This cannot be done while taking their contributions for granted, or trying to control the scope of their growth and power through threats and fear tactics.
Lauryn Hill
I don't need anybody to market or promote me. If people don't want to hear this music, then it's not for them. You cannot please everybody.
Lauryn Hill
We think the man with the best rap will protect and save us, but it's not usually that way. Love is something deeper and purer.
Lauryn Hill
If I'd known white people were going to buy my last album, I never would have recorded it.
Lauryn Hill
My concept of successful living is escaping the matrix, as we've talked about. It has very little to do with what people think success is. I actually feel successful right now, even though I don't have an album out, or a video or a song on the radio, because I'm trying to be obedient to His will.
Lauryn Hill
Let me be patient, let me be kind, make me unselfish, without being blind.
Lauryn Hill
It's funny - more people talk about my 'babe-dom' now than they did before I had a child. Whatever. I guess I'm a role model in hot pants now. That's cool!
Lauryn Hill
Just because I have a guitar, it doesn't mean that changes me. I still rhyme, I still sing.
Lauryn Hill
With the things that I love, I tried to put a couple seeds, a bunch of seeds in the ground and see what sprung up. Sometimes it was acting and sometimes it was music. But whatever it was I continued to plant.
Lauryn Hill
Everything takes place in a season. There was a season when that's all I did was listen to the music. Now I'm just in a place where I don't listen, I create. And if I do listen there are specific things that I listen to, and for specific reasons.
Lauryn Hill
Every day is a lesson in focus for me, and not buying into the world's concept of what you have to be. I really try every day to be individual and not just in my style or my look or my music, but in my approach to life.
Lauryn Hill
Nobody's going to force me to do something against my will. What do I owe anybody that I should submit my will to them?
Lauryn Hill
I was very active. I was always all over the place trying to do a million things, just into this activity. If you asked me when I was 14 what I wanted to be: Activist, first, is my occupation. I am an activist.
Lauryn Hill
I like a brother that cuts to the chase.
Lauryn Hill
And what you need ironically. Will turn out what you want to be. If you just let it.
Lauryn Hill
I don't want to be religious, I want to be spiritual. Anybody can be religious. Some people jog religiously. You don't want to be that, you want to be spiritual. You want to have a relationship with God as opposed to doing what everyone else does.
Lauryn Hill
If I should fall asleep and death takes me away, Don't be surprised son, I wasn't put here to stay.
Lauryn Hill
I find, even though it's raining, I just go outside. I look outside and I'm just so blessed to see it and to experience it, because for such a long time I was just indoors.
Lauryn Hill
