More quotes by Erykah Badu
I have so much music that I do. Just like how a visual artist is always sketching something but they might not share it, I'm always writing songs or coming up with melodic lines on piano or guitar. It's therapy. It's always happening.

I love being an entertainer - not really fond of being a celebrity.
Erykah Badu
I create my own calm and I keep my balance, because I know that it's not really me, by myself... The Creator always gives me the energy.
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
In the morning, instead of saying to yourself, ‘I got to wake up’ say ‘I get to wake up!’

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.

I have a Pinterest, and if you look there you'll see the things I really like and adore, have crushes on, and there's a lot of stuff from Riccardo's [Tisci] line on there.
Erykah Badu
I remember when I signed with Kedar Entertainment through Universal Records. It was my first record deal and it's the one I still have now. At that time, there had been a couple of opportunities I was almost given, but at the last minute the giver came back and told me it couldn't happen.

I love putting the music together. It's like art
Erykah Badu
I think we [with Riccardo Tisci] share a sensibility about art - we pull from the ancient future.
Erykah Badu
I planned my success. I knew it was going to happen.
Erykah Badu
Better think while it's still legal.
Erykah Badu
Things are useless without practice.
Erykah Badu
My hair is an aesthetic choice… At the same time, how you wear your hair is a political statement as well.
Erykah Badu
I have a master plan as an artist. I've always said I'm not going to be punching nobody's clock. I will work as an artist to survive in this world.
Erykah Badu
All I want to do is give the world my heart... Record label tryina make me compromise my art.
Erykah Badu
Honey isn't really that good for you.
Erykah Badu
Music and the music business are two different things.
Erykah Badu
My favorite jewelry, it's just what I'm feeling at the time.
Erykah Badu
A lot of people have dementia, which is great, because then they don't recognize me.
