As musicians and artists, it's important we have an environment - and I guess when I say environment, I really mean the industry, that really nurtures these gifts. Oftentimes, the machine can overlook the need to take care of the people who produce the sounds that have a lot to do with the health and well-being of society.

I had to confront my fears and master my every demonic thought about inferiority, insecurity, or the fear of being black, young, and gifted in this Western culture.

I need to be surrounded by people as passionate and as dedicated as I am.

Lauryn Hill 217 quotes

We don't want people to have ...

We don't want people to have expectations of us, but then we have expectations of everybody else.

Lauryn Hill 217 quotes

To those supporters who were ...

To those supporters who were told that I abandoned them, that is untrue. I abandoned greed, corruption, and compromise, never you, and never the artistic gifts and abilities that sustained me.

Lauryn Hill 217 quotes

The danger I faced was not ac...

The danger I faced was not accepted as reasonable grounds for deferring my tax payments, as authorities, who despite being told all of this, still chose to pursue action against me, as opposed to finding an alternative solution.

Lauryn Hill 217 quotes

I tried to manipulate and con...

I tried to manipulate and control people, and I harbored resentment. I wanted to be forgiven, but I wouldn't forgive others.

Lauryn Hill 217 quotes

Nobody's going to force me to...

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 217 quotes

Since those who believe they ...

Since those who believe they need a hero/celebrity outnumber the actual heroes/celebrities, people feel safe and comfortably justified in numbers, committing egregious crimes in the name of the greater social ego. Ironically diminishing their own true hero-celebrity nature in the process.

Lauryn Hill 217 quotes

I think everything happens in...

I think everything happens in time. There's a time for everything. There's a time to be in a group, and there's a time to be solo.

Lauryn Hill 217 quotes

Every day is a lesson in focu...

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 217 quotes

Let me be patient, let me be ...

Let me be patient, let me be kind, make me unselfish, without being blind.

Wisdom is better than silver and gold

In my travels all over the world, I have come to realize that what distinguishes one child from another is not ability, but access. Access to education, access to opportunity, access to love.

Lauryn Hill 217 quotes

Life is continued work. It's ...

Life is continued work. It's constant learning. The whole concept of retirement I don't even buy into. We should constantly be working. Maybe not physically working, but we could be spiritually, emotionally working toward bettering ourselves and bettering the lives of others around us.

Lauryn Hill 217 quotes

Let me break it down for you ...

Let me break it down for you again,
You know I only say it because I'm truly genuine:
Don't be a hard rock when you really are a gem.

Lauryn Hill 217 quotes

Being young and female in Ame...

Being young and female in America, you watch a lot of T.V., and you grow up on false images of what love truly is. We think the man with the best rap will protect and save us, about it's not usually that way. Then you learn love is something deeper and purer in form.

Lauryn Hill 217 quotes

When I have a creative insigh...

When I have a creative insight, there is a high. I think back in the day, I made music as much as I did because it made me feel so good. I think you could argue that there is a creative addiction - but, you know, the healthy kind.

Lauryn Hill 217 quotes

People need to understand tha...

People need to understand that the Lauryn Hill they were exposed to in the beginning was all that was allowed in that arena at the time. I had to step away for the sake of the machine. I was being way too compromised. I felt uncomfortable having to smile in someone's face when I really didn't like them or know them well enough to like.

Lauryn Hill 217 quotes

I do support artists standing...

I do support artists standing by their beliefs and walking with integrity. We have to find a better way to commercially exploit music while giving artists their proper respect. This cannot be done while taking their contributions for granted or trying to control the scope of their growth and power through threats and fear tactics.
