“My stepfather was a very nasty individual.” — Jill Scott Quote

“My stepfather was a very nasty individual.”

“I was conceived after doctors told my mother she'd never have children. I'm a miracle - we all are.”

“I've been reading poetry publicly for 20 years, and this is what you do - you express, you sometimes dig a bit to get a conversation started. That's the point of poetry. You're supposed to go, 'Hmmmm,' and 'Woooh!'”

“I don't mind if people are saying nasty things about me behind my back - I just don't want to know about them.”

“I feel like what made 'Nasty' so fire was it was finally something that they couldn't take from me.”

“I like to put people on my record who will fit in with me. I like thug girls like Trina who look good and talk nasty.”
