More quotes by Erykah Badu
My favorite jewelry, it's just what I'm feeling at the time.
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
Time to eliminate things that no longer evolve me.
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'm a Pisces, so I'm a very closed-book kind of person.
Erykah Badu
I knew it would happen. I knew I'd be No. 1. I'm a new artist I don't know the rules. Nobody told me it wouldn't happen
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
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.
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
He definitely does what a partner is supposed to do, that is, evolve you.
Erykah Badu
The wise healer endures the pain. Cry. Tears bring joy.
Erykah Badu
But now I realize that this record business really needs me. No one else is trying to take a chance or do something different.
Erykah Badu
We mainly focus on putting music, art, dance, theater, all forms of art, back into the community, so the community can put it into the world.
Erykah Badu
My girls are very fashionable. They have a very good eye for marrying style and fashion.
Erykah Badu
I can be Erykah the human being more than the celebrity.
Erykah Badu
It's almost like a lot of black people in America, a lot of young black men, are born with this cloud over their heads. It's their penitentiary cloud, this philosophy we all have, that it's harder for us.
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 thought it was cool how [ Riccardo Tisci] wanted to blend Africa and Asia because they relate to each other in so many different ways.
Erykah Badu
I'm not trying to win an award for being the best vegetarian, just want to be healthy. Take a salt bath. Do things that my parents were never able to do. I'm blessed to do anything I want so I decide to take the best care of my body and my family in the same way. Holistically. Vitally.
Erykah Badu
There are millions and billions of atoms of memory of all kinds of musical themes in me.
