“There's something really magical about having a child - it's like perm...” — Jill Scott Quote

“There's something really magical about having a child - it's like permission to begin again, start over, reevaluate some things, check yourself. Recognize yourself. And that's kind of what happened with me - I realized, in a few places, I was going down the wrong path.”

“When I get onstage, I automatically feel beautiful.”

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

“I told myself at some point that I've got to hold it down for my family. I can't let work and the check and the money dictate decisions that I truly want to make.”

“I can now check Oregon off the 'marathon in every state list.'”

“I didn't check into rehab. Instead of me heading into a place - I was just drinking too much and I needed to get my life together. I'm still in therapy and stuff like that, but it's good. I'm great. I feel fine.”
