People is, I think, it's their nature - some people's nature, in a way, to be angry or jealous or just spiteful about somebody else's blessings.

From Jill Scott

I'm going to keep it real gully with you; the first two months, I wanted to give him back. I expected someone to come and save me because after you have the baby, nobody cares about you anymore. Nobody cares if you sleep, nobody cares if you eat. It's just you and this all-consuming thingy!

From Jill Scott

I love foods that start in my cheeks and then vibrate up.

You have to be humble when you're dealing with God.

From Jill Scott

For me, hair is an accoutrement. Hair is jewelry. It's an accessory.

From Jill Scott

I truly have a village supporting me. My son has godmothers, godfathers, grandparents and so many others in his life who love him as much as I do. They're there for both of us. I may not have a mate or husband, but I'm definitely not a single parent.

From 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.

From Jill Scott

I think the first time I really heard poetry was in the schoolyard. Just the little limericks that kids say when they're jumping rope and playing games. I think that's the first time I heard rhyming words - I don't know if I'd call that the definitive poetry, but that's when I heard rhyming words said and not necessarily sung.

From Jill Scott

We all get angry and jealous sometimes, none of us is perfect, but we should not try to be different.

From Jill Scott

'Saturday Night Live' is a show that I think I could have a lot of fun on, just being different characters and maybe singing, too.
