More quotes by Erykah Badu
The girls just like to be in the shoes. They like to scuff up the floors and walk around in high-heeled shoes that are too big for them, all over the house.
Erykah Badu
I imagine that when I am creating a song or a project or an album or putting some clothing together or cooking a meal, whatever it is, I don't really have a recipe. The fun part is to throw that big piece of clay in the middle of the table as hard as I can, and whatever shape it takes, that's what shape it takes, and then I start to carve away.
Erykah Badu
I love putting the music together. It's like art
Erykah Badu
[Riccardo Tisci ] has an interesting approach to weaving the contemporary with the couture, and blending tribes and collections. It always seems to work.
Erykah Badu
I don't think it matters what school you go to, but I think it's important for parents to be involved. And to know that when school stops, learning continues, and to continue teaching at home.
Erykah Badu
I grew up listening to old soul
Erykah Badu
I feel like I haven't done anything. What have I done? I've just made a few records.
Erykah Badu
Hip-hop is the people. What the people are moving toward is what hip-hop is. I think people are moving toward a freer way of thinking. Openness.
Erykah Badu
I lived in New York for maybe a year and a half, from '95 to '97, but I live in Dallas. My whole family is there.
Erykah Badu
When I get ready to do an album, that means I have something to say for the sake of words, and I listen back to all of the things I've been creating and pull things from out of the air to go with them. It's almost like I start creating the album before I even think about creating it.
Erykah Badu
I was the bohemian in my family, the this is my favorite shoe and I don't care if it has tape around it kind of person. The tape could become a fashion statement. Or a political statement.
Erykah Badu
Im a hip-hopper, and its something you live and do. It makes me angry that were misrepresented, that were being killed every day by one another, by the government, by the food we eat, the choices we make. It makes me angry because it doesnt have to be that way and it is.
Erykah Badu
A lot of people have dementia, which is great, because then they don't recognize me.
Erykah Badu
What singing means to me, I never did consider myself a singer, I just let people watch me feel music and how it comes through me. I've worked on it and practiced a lot. I mean, music, I dance to it, and singing is just one way of getting it out of me.
Erykah Badu
If you invite negativity in, you have to feed it and hang out with it. Best not to invite it in.
Erykah Badu
If you want to relate to a certain audience or generation, you have to speak their language. I truly believe that.
Erykah Badu
My fifth mother is Mother Nature - the things I had to learn on my own, the understanding I had to come to and still have to come to as a young woman, as a responsible mother, a responsible granddaughter and child. She teaches me willpower, honesty, and the things we need to heal ourselves from moment to moment.
Erykah Badu
He definitely does what a partner is supposed to do, that is, evolve you.
Erykah Badu
I don't know... I've been doing it for 17 years now, so of course I've seen pictures and thought, Oh my god, I wish I would've never worn that. Yeah, but I did! And it was probably because it was my favorite thing at the time - my clothes always have some kind of emotion attached to them.
Erykah Badu
I think a lot of people have lost respect for the individual, you know, the individual, the person who doesn't conform.
