More quotes by Erykah Badu
What makes me furious, not just because we're in an interview, but I don't like when writers take your words and put them somewhere else, in the wrong context in their own article about you.
Erykah Badu
I have a pair of blue pants that were my favorite for a while and were a part of my show uniform - every night, you know.
Erykah Badu
I actually started writing it because I was inspired by my own personal growth.
Erykah Badu
From then on, I realized this is what I want to do, what I'm supposed to do: Giving energy and receiving it back through applause. I love it. That's my world. I love it. I enjoy it. I live for it.
Erykah Badu
Different periods, different cultures - it's just the way my mind works. My music is that way as well. There's a foundation but the inspiration comes from everywhere. I've been influenced by so many things.
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 people are going on to the next plateau of whatever this thing is called life, I also want them to breathe easily, even if it's the last one they take here with us. I guess I'm the welcoming committee and ushering committee.
Erykah Badu
I'm learning from them! Everyone says that, but it's true. You learn more about yourself from them than from any other lesson.
Erykah Badu
What draws me to a project is how sympathetic I am toward it, so that I can relax into it and give up myself.
Erykah Badu
We as Black people have to tell our own stories. We have to document our history. When we allow someone else to document our history the history becomes twisted and we get written out. We get our noses blown off.
Erykah Badu
I'd rather see a person with a natural mind and processed mind than a processed mind and a natural head.
Erykah Badu
It's just that little box in the middle of Fort Greene, Brooklyn. Most of the time I go I don't even leave that apartment. I have just enough: a little bed, a little kitchen with two pots. I make some tea and I look out the window or just lay down.
Erykah Badu
I'm a performance artist first I'm a recording artist second.
Erykah Badu
I feel like I haven't done anything. What have I done? I've just made a few records.
Erykah Badu
I think what makes people think that is because of things people write. It really doesn't have anything to do with the artist.
Erykah Badu
There are millions and billions of atoms of memory of all kinds of musical themes in me.
Erykah Badu
I've had two children. I've had three boyfriends. I've had a lot of things happen that can change your opinions and values and philosophies.
Erykah Badu
I love being an entertainer - not really fond of being a celebrity.
Erykah Badu
Time to eliminate things that no longer evolve me.
Erykah Badu
My nine-year-old daughter is very creative and colorful and trendy.
