My Grill Is Intended To Be Discreet.

I Could Float In The Pool For Hours, Just Letting The Water Carry Me.

I Do So Play An Instrument! I Play Air! I Play The Air With My Fingers, And I'm In Touch With The Deepest Emotions Within. It Took Me A While To Learn That Whatever I Feel Like Doing Is The Right Thing. If I Want To Play An Invisible Instrument, I Will.

I Think The First Time I Really Heard Poetry Was In The Schoolyard. Just The Little Limericks That Kids Say When They're Jumping Rope And Playing Games. I Think That's The First Time I Heard Rhyming Words - I Don't Know If I'd Call That The Definitive Poetry, But That's When I Heard Rhyming Words Said And Not Necessarily Sung.

There's A High School In Camden, New Jersey, I Call The Jill Scott School. It's The Camden Creative Arts High School. Those Teachers And Kids Are So Passionate About What They Do, And 98 Percent Of The Senior Class Went On To College.

The Best Gift I Was Ever Given Was The Arts. My Mum Gave Me Those On A Silver Platter. Growing Up, Her And My Grandmother Would Take Me To Ballets, Classical Concerts, Even Smoky Jazz Clubs I Wasn't Supposed To Be In!
