More quotes by 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
You don't have to believe everything you think.
Erykah Badu
I started performing at two or three on a tape recorder, one of those little flat recorders where you just push play and record.
Erykah Badu
If you want to relate to a certain audience or generation, you have to speak their language. I truly believe that.
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
I can be Erykah the human being more than the celebrity.
Erykah Badu
There are millions and billions of atoms of memory of all kinds of musical themes in me.
Erykah Badu
All I want to do is give the world my heart... Record label tryina make me compromise my art.
Erykah Badu
I view my hair and clothes as functional art.
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.
Erykah Badu
I encourage breaking free of self inflicted holding pens. I encourage the use of intelligence in every decision. I encourage creating.
Erykah Badu
I think we [with Riccardo Tisci] share a sensibility about art - we pull from the ancient future.
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.
Erykah Badu
I'm pretty mutable as a human being, period - if you put me on Pluto, I can figure it out.
Erykah Badu
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.
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.
Erykah Badu
I'm a Pisces, so I'm a very closed-book kind of person.
Erykah Badu
What I work hard at doing is staying on a path of being kind and showing and proving that I'm a good person to society. That's hard. The talent, that's a gift. I just came here like that.
Erykah Badu
Things are useless without practice.
Erykah Badu
Now keep in mind that I'm an artist and I'm sensitive about my sh*t
