Everybody has a choice. I am not here to shove my light down everybody's throat. For those who don't want it, I have nothing to defend.

More quotes by Lauryn Hill
Let me be patient, let me be kind, make me unselfish, without being blind.
Lauryn Hill
We have to make sure the music and the message and the words and all the elements come through in our songs and every time we appear in public.
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
The danger I faced was not accepted as reasonable grounds for deferring my tax payments, as authorities, who despite being told all of this, still chose to pursue action against me, as opposed to finding an alternative solution.
Lauryn Hill
Our podium is the music. It's really important that we stay focused, because things become misconstrued in the media.
Lauryn Hill
Let’s love ourselves, then we can’t fail, To make a better situation. Tomorrow, our seeds will grow, All we need is dedication!
Lauryn Hill
Who you going to tell when the repercussions spin, showing off your ass because you think it's a trend.
Lauryn Hill
Now I may have faith/ to make mountains fall/ But if I lack love/ then I am nothin' at all
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
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
I play my enemies like a game of chess
Lauryn Hill
When you're young and everything dramatic is exciting, you start to believe that hype that, in order to be an artist, you have to suffer. I've graduated from that school.
Lauryn Hill
If the entire week is a battlefield, reading the Bible is sort of like that parachute with the box of reserves that come in the middle of the war: food and water and the toothbrush and toilet paper.
Lauryn Hill
As long as I remember that the glory is His and not my own. When I confuse that, I get in trouble. We think that we glorify ourselves, and the object is to glorify God first, and in doing that you become glorified, you get glorified.
Lauryn Hill
As artists, we have an opportunity to help the public evolve, raise consciousness and awareness, teach, heal, enlighten and inspire in ways the democratic process may not be able to touch. So we keep it moving.
Lauryn Hill
Whether Jew or Gentile, I rank top percentile...
Lauryn Hill
I love being able to reach people directly, but in an ideal scenario, I would not have to rush the release of new music… but the message is still there.
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
And what you need ironically. Will turn out what you want to be. If you just let it.
Lauryn Hill
