More quotes by 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 come from a long line of matriarchal women, and my greatest teachers were my mothers.

My style is a little masculine, and what I loved about Pyer Moss was how well he can make a blazer, the looseness of those pants, or color palette that he chooses from season to season.

Hip-hop is not something we do, it's something we live. It's the way we dress, the way we talk... everybody bobbing to the same beat. It's a culture, and you have to find your own place in that culture. Top 10 or Top 40 can't dictate that. They can only dictate what's marketable.

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
I think giving is a blind act that should come from a part of me that sees no discrimination (that's why I called it blind).
Erykah Badu
A lot of people have dementia, which is great, because then they don't recognize me.
Erykah Badu
My eyes are green, Cause I eat a lot of vegetables, It don't have nothing to do with your new friend
Erykah Badu
My mom was the Diana Ross of our clan. She was always up-to-date, and always knew what to do and what not to do in a fashion sense.
Erykah Badu
People are uncomfortable with sexuality that’s not for male consumption.
Erykah Badu
I try to be honest and I keep moving.
Erykah Badu
I love being an entertainer - not really fond of being a celebrity.
Erykah Badu
Whenever I think about funk music, it has a look - and that's how it sounds.
Erykah Badu
I grew up listening to old soul
Erykah Badu
My girls are very fashionable. They have a very good eye for marrying style and fashion.
Erykah Badu
I just love expressing my joy and my mind through what I wear, or how I cook, or how I dance, or how I write or perform a song - how I move.
Erykah Badu
The metal or the stone that's helping me .I'll incorporate them into anything I wear - but I think it's about accessories more than anything, because it's how you accessorize yourself that gives you your own unique style.
