I rarely listen to the music ...

I rarely listen to the music for the sheer pleasure. I'm listening for the tool, I'm listening for the instrument, I'm listening for the art.

I keep letting you back in. H...

I keep letting you back in. How can I explain myself? As painful as this thing has been, I just can't be with no one else.

Lauryn Hill 217 quotes

I wouldn't try to put myself ...

I wouldn't try to put myself in a box or put God in a box.

Lauryn Hill 217 quotes

I'm trying to be a loving and...

I'm trying to be a loving and caring mother, a loving and caring wife-to-be, a loving and caring daughter, a loving and caring friend, a responsible person. And every day is another opportunity for me to be successful at that.

My mother has all my awards, ...

My mother has all my awards, because if I walked downstairs every day and saw all my achievements it would be so easy to become complacent.

Lauryn Hill 217 quotes

I don't buy into that whole c...

I don't buy into that whole concept of success that I have this mountain with this moat around it and then I get into my big car and drive to my destination and never see people. That's not my concept of success.

We were all crazy about music and almost all the money we had, we spent for equipment.

Lauryn Hill 217 quotes

My whole life at a certain po...

My whole life at a certain point was studio, hotel, stage, hotel, stage, studio, stage, hotel, studio, stage. I was expressing everything from my past, everything that I had experienced prior to that studio stage time, and it was like you have to go back to the well, in order to give someone something to drink. I felt like a cistern, dried up and like there was nothing more. And it was so beautiful.

Lauryn Hill 217 quotes

I get out, I get out of all y...

I get out, I get out of all your boxes. I get out, you can't hold me in these chains. I'll get out. Father free me from this bondage. Knowin' my condition is the reason I must change

Lauryn Hill 217 quotes

You say, Wait a minute, God, ...

You say, Wait a minute, God, you spared me from a slave job in an office, and now I have a slave job onstage. I am not on that clock no more.

I know you don't wanna hear m...

I know you don't wanna hear my opinion,
There come many paths and you must choose one.
And if you don't change then the rain soon come.
See, you might win some, but you just lost one.

Lauryn Hill 217 quotes

My concept of successful livi...

My concept of successful living is escaping the matrix, as we've talked about. It has very little to do with what people think success is. I actually feel successful right now, even though I don't have an album out, or a video or a song on the radio, because I'm trying to be obedient to His will.

Lauryn Hill 217 quotes

I've leaned on God for so lon...

I've leaned on God for so long. "Hey, God, you just gave me this gift, and I'm just going to go out there and sing." But I'm realizing how much larger and how expansive my gift becomes when I actually pay attention to it and try to practice and try to perfect it.

Lauryn Hill 217 quotes

There are a lot of young blac...

There are a lot of young black girls who I meet in my travels who don't have a lot of self-esteem. So if I communicate to them that they're beautiful, no white person should find fault in that. It doesn't mean that young white girls aren't beautiful, because they are just as beautiful.

Lauryn Hill 217 quotes

Everyone is in the same situa...

Everyone is in the same situation, at different levels and in different places.

Lauryn Hill 217 quotes

I get really afraid of those ...

I get really afraid of those little comforts, those things that make us feel like we did something great, because I've done nothing. I've done nothing. I mean that sincerely.

Lauryn Hill 217 quotes

I'm in a very close-knit, very, very tight family. My grandmother had 13 kids, so we had a lot of family like 50, 60 grandchildren and we all lived in Jersey, relatively in the same area. So every time there was something, my entire family was there. And I just believed everybody's family was like that.

Lauryn Hill 217 quotes

Love and this close-knit fami...

Love and this close-knit family structure really helped to give me the confidence. To know that you have family to go back to is a help. It doesn't always happen biologically. Sometimes God gives you family in other forms, but I was very blessed. I have a very strong biological family.

If the entire week is a battlefield, reading the Bible is sort of like that parachute with the box of reserves that come in the middle of the war: food and water and the toothbrush and toilet paper.
