"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.

"ينبغي للناس أن يدركوا أن لورين هيل التي عُرضت عليهم في البداية لم تكن سوى ما أُجيز لها تقديمه في تلك الساحة آنذاك. كان عليّ أن أنسحب حفاظاً على متطلبات الآلة، فقد كنت أُجبر على تنازلات تفوق الحد. شعرت بالضيق وأنا أُجبر على رسم الابتسامة في وجوه أناس لم أكن أكنّ لهم أي مودة حقيقية، أو لم أكن أعرفهم معرفة تسمح لي بمحبتهم."

"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."
"إنه لمن الأهمية بمكان، لنا كموسيقيين وفنانين، أن نحظى ببيئة – وأعني بالبيئة هنا، في جوهرها، الصناعة – تحتضن مواهبنا وتنميها حقًا. فكثيرًا ما تغفل هذه الآلة عن ضرورة العناية بمن يبدعون الأصوات التي تمس صميم صحة المجتمع وعافيته."

This cannot be done while taking their contributions for granted or trying to control the scope of their growth and power through threats and fear tactics."

"If everyone is a product of this society, who will say the things that need to be said, and do the things that need to be done, without compromise? Truth will never start out popular in a world more concerned with marketability than righteousness. It will initially suffer ridicule and even violence- yet ultimately it is undeniable. All of humanity is living in a dream world, but suffering real consequences."
