Quotes

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
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
I think what people are attracted to about me, if anything, is my passion. People got exposed to my passion through music and song first. Lauryn Hill
For the past several years, I have remained what others would consider underground. I did this in order to build a community of people, like-minded in their desire for freedom and the right to pursue their goals and lives without being manipulated and controlled by a media protected military industrial complex with a completely different agenda. Lauryn Hill
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. Lauryn Hill
I don't need anybody to market or promote me. If people don't want to hear this music, then it's not for them. You cannot please everybody. Lauryn Hill
Lauryn Hill quote: "I tried to manipulate and control people, and I harbored..."
I tried to manipulate and control people, and I harbored resentment. I wanted to be forgiven, but I wouldn't forgive others. Lauryn Hill
Lauryn Hill quote: "See fantasy is what people want, but reality is what they..."
See fantasy is what people want, but reality is what they need. And I just retired from the fantasy part. Lauryn Hill
I'm trying to open up my range and really sing more. With The Fugees initially, and even with 'Miseducation,' it was very hip-hop - always a singing over beats. I don't think people have really heard me sing out. So if I do record again, perhaps it will have an expanded context. Where people can hear a bit more. Lauryn Hill
Lauryn Hill quote: "I need to be surrounded by people as passionate and as..."
I need to be surrounded by people as passionate and as dedicated as I am. Lauryn Hill
Lauryn Hill quote: "We don't want people to have expectations of us, but then we..."
We don't want people to have expectations of us, but then we have expectations of everybody else. Lauryn Hill
