More quotes by 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
Being honest is my job. That's what music is for me.
Erykah Badu
As Erykah Badu, it has nothing to do with me, the way I look, my hair wrap, my style, it's about you and what you feel for my music. If I can make you feel like the way that people who influenced me made me feel, that's completion.
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
And I figured out that the reason I couldn't get through the day as well as I can now is because I had too many things on my mind, on my plate, you know, for one person to have. So I started to eliminate some of the things that were too heavy to carry and unnecessary.
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
He definitely does what a partner is supposed to do, that is, evolve you.
Erykah Badu
I'm a performance artist first I'm a recording artist second.
Erykah Badu
Im a hip-hopper, and its something you live and do. It makes me angry that were misrepresented, that were being killed every day by one another, by the government, by the food we eat, the choices we make. It makes me angry because it doesnt have to be that way and it is.
Erykah Badu
I've been a vegetarian since I was 19.
Erykah Badu
My nine-year-old daughter is very creative and colorful and trendy.
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 don't read music or anything, so when I produce, I go basically by ear.
Erykah Badu
I have an apartment in Brooklyn - I guess I call it my shrine. I go there to create and recoup, or hibernate sometimes, but my home is in Dallas where I live with my children.
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
Through [my children] patience, they're showing me how much they support what's going on, because I'm having to do a lot of work right now.
Erykah Badu
You don't have to believe everything you think.
Erykah Badu
Marvin Gaye is one of my favorite revolutionaries. He spoke from his heart, his mind. That's what I want to do.
Erykah Badu
My girls are very fashionable. They have a very good eye for marrying style and fashion.
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
