More quotes by Erykah Badu
I try to be honest and I keep moving.
Erykah Badu
I actually started writing it because I was inspired by my own personal growth.
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
Honey isn't really that good for you.
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
Better think while it's still legal.
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 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
Time to eliminate things that no longer evolve me.
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 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
My hair is an aesthetic choice… At the same time, how you wear your hair is a political statement as well.
Erykah Badu
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.
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 strongly believe that the more positive my vibration is, the clearer my message will be. I keep my negative thoughts from infiltrating my pathway and my dreams. Other people's thoughts are none of my business.
Erykah Badu
I can be Erykah the human being more than the celebrity.
Erykah Badu
Breathing becomes really easy when you're laughing. It kick starts that feeling of joy.
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
My nine-year-old daughter is very creative and colorful and trendy.
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.
