Hip-Hop started out in the heart
Lauryn Hill
Image
Love is an incredible thing but we don't know love like we should. Unconditional love we don't know it because if a person stops stimulating us, we stop loving them.
Lauryn Hill
Image
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
Image
If I'd known white people were going to buy my last album, I never would have recorded it.

Image
That strong mother doesn't tell her cub, Son, stay weak so the wolves can get you. She says, Toughen up, this is reality we are living in.
Lauryn Hill
Image
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.

Love and this close-knit family structure really helped to give me the confidence. To know that you have family to go back to is a help. It doesn't always happen biologically. Sometimes God gives you family in other forms, but I was very blessed. I have a very strong biological family.

God surrounded me with the right team, with the team that I needed to help me exercise all of my ideas. You need that. You need that army, you need that force.
Lauryn Hill
Image
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
Image
Everyone is in the same situation, at different levels and in different places.
Lauryn Hill
Image
To me that's a reflection of love, when someone can see you enjoying yourself, and want to participate, or want to encourage, or want to help you to do something that you enjoy.
Lauryn Hill
Image
I get really afraid of those little comforts, those things that make us feel like we did something great, because I've done nothing. I've done nothing. I mean that sincerely.
Lauryn Hill
Image
Reality is easy. It's deception that's the hard work.
Lauryn Hill
Image
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
Image
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
Image
I am no longer going to become a fictional character to please people. That's too much work.
Lauryn Hill
Image
Our podium is the music. It's really important that we stay focused, because things become misconstrued in the media.
Lauryn Hill
Image
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.

The less I have, the freer I am to do whatever I want to do.
