More quotes by Erykah Badu
I planned my success. I knew it was going to happen.
Erykah Badu
I'm free. I just do what I want, say what I want, say how I feel, and I don't try to hurt nobody. I just try to make sure that I don't compromise my art in any kind of way, and I think people respect that.
Erykah Badu
I'm not trying to win an award for being the best vegetarian, just want to be healthy. Take a salt bath. Do things that my parents were never able to do. I'm blessed to do anything I want so I decide to take the best care of my body and my family in the same way. Holistically. Vitally.
Erykah Badu
A lot of people have dementia, which is great, because then they don't recognize me.

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
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
I encourage breaking free of self inflicted holding pens. I encourage the use of intelligence in every decision. I encourage creating.
Erykah Badu
We mainly focus on putting music, art, dance, theater, all forms of art, back into the community, so the community can put it into the world.

Erykah Badu
I'm only in competition with my last level.
Erykah Badu
My favorite jewelry, it's just what I'm feeling at the time.
Erykah Badu
I was sitting at home one day and I got a call that Riccardo Tisci was considering me for the face of the Givenchy Spring/Summer 2014 campaign, and I said, Are you kidding? and that was the end of the conversation. I'm a really big fan.
Erykah Badu
He definitely does what a partner is supposed to do, that is, evolve you.
Erykah Badu
I don't sing melodically. Rhyme pattern is how I sing. I also write like a lyricist or an MC because that's what I was before I was a singer. I just took those elements and put them into music.
Erykah Badu
I have advice for people - period - who are in unhealthy relationships: Follow your heart. It will get you to where you need to be. Sometimes it's hard, sometimes it's easy, the places that your heart takes you. But continue to follow it. Where the train leads you - you'll get there.
Erykah Badu
I love putting the music together. It's like art
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
I come from a long line of matriarchal women, and my greatest teachers were my mothers.
Erykah Badu
The wise healer endures the pain. Cry. Tears bring joy.
Erykah Badu
I have a master plan as an artist. I've always said I'm not going to be punching nobody's clock. I will work as an artist to survive in this world.
