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.

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.

Time to eliminate things that no longer evolve me.
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'm a complete human being. I'm very emotional and loving. I feel, I hurt, I give, I take, and also I think. I analyze. I'm a sociologist, anthropologist.
Erykah Badu
Breathing becomes really easy when you're laughing. It kick starts that feeling of joy.
Erykah Badu
The kind of music or the kind of arrangements that I do, the kind of musicians I choose, is just what I like to hear.

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.

I started performing at two or three on a tape recorder, one of those little flat recorders where you just push play and record.
