Jill Scott Quotes

Everybody in their life has a list of what they want to do: I'm very lucky indeed to do one thing on that list.

If I die tomorrow, I've accomplished everything I wanted to do in life.

I'm not scared of growing old, I'm just scared of not achieving everything that I want to do.

Life doesn't go on forever, and you don't want to drop dead without ever having done what you wanted to do.

For years I've kept a list of dream projects.

One day, I got so disgusted that I sat down and wrote a list called 'Justin's list of things to do before he kicks the bucket.' I wrote it for myself and shortened it to 'Justin's Bucket List.' It was there on the wall, not as a story idea but as a motivational tool for myself, which actually ended up working pretty well.

I don't have a bucket list.

Everyone just has different things in their life they want to do. I wanted to clean up my bucket list, explore the world. Rap was our gateway into anything we wanted to do.

Our care should not be to have lived long as to have lived enough.

I need to live a long time to fulfil all the things I want to do.

When I turned 59, I looked at that as the first day of my 60th year, so I've been 60 for the last 365 days, in my opinion. So I've been thinking all this year, I'm 60 - this is the time when I need to get some stuff done.

I always wanted to live to about 70. I thought that'd be a good age.

You'll be old and you never lived, and you kind of feel silly to lie down and die and to never have lived, to have been a job chaser and never have lived.

I've experienced great things, I've experienced great tragedies. I've done almost everything I could possibly ever imagine doing, but I just know that there's more.

This may sound strange but I had dreams as a kid of doing exactly what I ended up doing in my life.

I really have this sense that time is passing, and it's important to do what you have wanted to do.

I wanted to be a lot of things in my life.
