Lauryn Hill quotes about
I am up there onstage alone with that guitar. I don't have to consider no one else and whether they are comfortable. I need very little.
When I was working, and when I was making substantial amounts of money, I always filed and paid my taxes. This only stopped, when it was necessary to withdraw from society, in order to guarantee the safety and well-being of myself and my family.
I don't feel like my money or my success defines me. I've always been very happy just bein' me.
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.
I got moxie, I'm so damn cocky. Industry tried to block me like cops and paparazzi.
When I create music, the feeling that you get... I get first. You [the listener] have a delayed experience with the feeling I initially get when I have a creative insight. Not just the voice, but all the creativity - the production, the idea, the concept, the music involved. There is a high. There is an emotional experience that happens when everything comes together... I made music as consistently as I did, especially back in the day, because it made me feel so good... When everything is on, it's a wonderful feeling.
Now don't you understand man universal law What you throw out comes back to you, star Never underestimate those who you scar Cause karma, karma, karma comes back to you hard
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
I like a brother that cuts to the chase.
I started to see that my concept of spirituality was totally wrong.
I don't know anybody that's not emotionally unstable or schizophrenic.
We think the man with the best rap will protect and save us, but it's not usually that way. Love is something deeper and purer.
I tried to manipulate and control people, and I harbored resentment. I wanted to be forgiven, but I wouldn't forgive others.
Our podium is the music. It's really important that we stay focused, because things become misconstrued in the media.
