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
What does music mean to me? I don't think I would really be much without it, without it coming through me. It's my means of communication, my means of growth, my means of transportation from one point in my life to another.
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
I'm pretty mutable as a human being.

Society has a problem with female nudity when it is not . . . ”—Badu pauses to get her words together she wants this point to be very clear—“. . . when it is not packaged for the consumption of male entertainment. Then it becomes confusing.
Erykah Badu
I'm only in competition with my last level.
Erykah Badu
All I want to do is give the world my heart... Record label tryina make me compromise my art.
