The sweetest thing I've ever known was like the kiss on the collarbone.

Whenever we submit our will to someone else’s opinion, a part of us dies

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

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

Be honest, brutally honest. That is what's going to maintain relationships.

I went to Jamaica for six months, and in Jamaica there was a lot of stillness.

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

If you love something and if you're committed and diligent - the things happen!

I hope that by people seeing the result of freedom that they'll want some, too.

I got Moxie, I'm so damn foxy Industry try to block me like cops and paparazzi.

I can do what you do, easy, BELIEVE ME Frontin' niggas give me hee-bee-gee-bees

Loving you is like a Song I replay every 3 Minutes and 30 Seconds of every Day.

I can give away everything I posses, but am without love, and I have no happiness

Place your attention 6 inches above your crown. God is breathing in and out there.

Everything we do should be a result of our gratitude for what God has done for us.

From the first time someone says, Who do you think you are? we learn how to repress.

And what you need ironically. Will turn out what you want to be. If you just let it.

You could get the money, you can get the power, but keep your eyes on the final hour.

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

It's emotional warfare telling the people we love, the most, the truth about ourselves.

Heart, Desire, and Intensity and those have been the three words I kind of latched onto.

If I'd known white people were going to buy my last album, I never would have recorded it.

Now I may have faith/ to make mountains fall/ But if I lack love/ then I am nothin' at all

So while you're imitating Al Capone, I'll be Nina Simone And defecating on your microphone.

Just because I have a guitar, it doesn't mean that changes me. I still rhyme, I still sing.

God teaches me about reality, so when he tells me to do something, I do, because I'm led to.

I am no longer going to become a fictional character to please people. That's too much work.

You don't know how much artists go through to make it look so easy. It's all in the practice.

I don't feel like my money or my success defines me. I've always been very happy just bein' me.

And deep in my heart. The answer, it was in me. And I made up my mind. To define my own destiny

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

If I should fall asleep and death takes me away, Don't be surprised son, I wasn't put here to stay.

I have a couple of all-time favorites: Donny Hathaway and Roberta Flack, Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell.

Who you going to tell when the repercussions spin, showing off your ass because you think it's a trend.

I was unhappy with my life. I had acquired everything I thought I wanted, only to find out, This is it?

I try not to have a day pass where I don't read something from the Bible. It's like my sustenance to me.

See fantasy is what people want, but reality is what they need. And I just retired from the fantasy part.

Hip-Hop isn't just music, it is also a spiritual movement of the blacks! You can't just call Hip-Hop a trend!

Being young and female in America, you watch a lot of TV and you grow up on false images of what love truly is.

Everything is everything What is meant to be, will be After winter, must come spring Change, it comes eventually

In my life the most influential people are people who are sort of brought to me, as opposed to people I seek out.

I have a problem with procrastination. I have a great deal of difficulty deciding what to wear. It's a woman thing.

I consider myself a crayon... I may not be your favorite color but one day you'll need me to complete your picture.

It could all be so simple, but you'd rather make it hard, loving you is like a battle, and we both end up with scars

We should constantly be aspiring to reach higher and higher and higher. We should never be comfortable where we are.

Our podium is the music. It's really important that we stay focused, because things become misconstrued in the media.

I sit here before you trying to figure out how to pay a tax debt? If that's not like enough to slavery, I don't know.

A lot of us are too busy focusing on what we think people want to hear, as opposed to just saying what's in our hearts.

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?

Our first album was a stupid mistake by the record company. They tried to sell us as an alternative act. A big mistake!
