See no one loves you more than me...and no one ever will

God surrounded me with the right team, with the team that I needed to help me exercise all of my ideas. You need that. You need that army, you need that force.

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

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.

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

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.

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.
