All I have to do is be me on stage. But acting, I have to be someone else, and walk how they would walk and blink how they would blink. I used to talk about it bad like, 'Aw man, that person made $10 million a movie?' But now I understand why they do. I get it now. -- Jill Scott

I would say for every successful black woman in America or in the world, really, it's difficult to be the head of the household, financially. It is for the man in your life.

The video for 'Whatever' is kind of a documentary in a way. It's showing that love can last. Not just in your early 20s or your late 30s, but in your 50s, 60s and 70s. There's an awful myth out there that when you get married, love and lovemaking fade. It's not true. -- Jill Scott

Jill Scott Quotes : pic 000553498

Jill Scott Quotes : pic 000597705

Jill Scott Quotes : pic 000608346

Jill Scott Quotes : pic 000635719

For my writing, and because I love talking to young women about life, I often asked them which would they rather have - a father in the house with them while growing up or a big butt? I tell you 86 percent of the time, girls say a big butt because it gets them further. -- Jill Scott
Jill Scott Quotes : pic 000717942

I like to read Octavia E. Butler's 'Wild Seed' over and over again. And J. California Cooper's 'The Wake of the Wind.' That one makes me cry from joy. I'll mourn - I'll actually mourn - and then I'll cry from joy. She's wonderful. -- Jill Scott
Jill Scott Quotes : pic 000762141

Jill Scott Quotes : pic 000967585
Being on set is a hard thing. A lot of people are like, 'Oh, you get to make a movie, and it's all fun.' But the reality is, it's a lot of hours. It's a lot of reshoots; it's a lot of waiting. And you can become increasingly agitated by the amount of time that you are waiting. But that's real. -- Jill Scott

If a woman is happy, then your society is happy. -- Jill Scott

Jill Scott Quotes : pic 001005966
Anytime you share life stories with other people, you know, you are acknowledging their humanity and kind of accessing some things about yourself, and other people start to expect things about themselves. It's kind of like a fellowship. -- Jill Scott

I was once making a burger for myself at my boyfriend's house and a lyric started pouring out and I had to catch it, so I ran to another room to write it down, but then the kitchen caught fire. His cabinets were charred, and he was furious. But it was worth it for a song. -- Jill Scott
Jill Scott Quotes : pic 001018961

Jill Scott Quotes : pic 001020228
I panicked when my son, Jett, stopped eating baby food. He's only two, but his food vocabulary is fantastic. He likes my baked tilapia and string beans with chopped garlic. But he really likes pizza. Sometimes every inanimate object to him is pizza. -- Jill Scott

Jill Scott Quotes : pic 001048997
