How you gon' win when you ain't right within. Uh uh come again
Lauryn Hill

Let me break it down for you again, You know I only say it because I'm truly genuine: Don't be a hard rock when you really are a gem.

Our podium is the music. It's really important that we stay focused, because things become misconstrued in the media.

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.

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.

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.

Every time that God navigates my ship, there's nothing cerebral going on. There's very little thought. It's almost as if I have the directions. Every time I try to do it myself, I'm conjuring up my own concoction and trying.

In my travels all over the world, I have come to realize that what distinguishes one child from another is not ability, but access. Access to education, access to opportunity, access to love.

I don't know anybody that's not emotionally unstable or schizophrenic.

I am no longer going to become a fictional character to please people. That's too much work.
