More quotes by Erykah Badu
All the women in my family were very creative.
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 view my hair and clothes as functional art.
Erykah Badu
People who say that music is dead or hip-hop is dead are refusing to evolve.
Erykah Badu
Better think while it's still legal.
Erykah Badu
I feel like I haven't done anything. What have I done? I've just made a few records.
Erykah Badu
I love putting the music together. It's like art
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
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
I think a lot of people have lost respect for the individual, you know, the individual, the person who doesn't conform.
Erykah Badu
A lot of people have dementia, which is great, because then they don't recognize me.
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
My eyes are green, Cause I eat a lot of vegetables, It don't have nothing to do with your new friend
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
I consider my musical ability to be a gift from the Creator. It's not that I try to work hard or nothing like that, it's a gift, it was given to me, and I appreciate it.
Erykah Badu
Being honest is my job. That's what music is for me.
Erykah Badu
It's almost like a lot of black people in America, a lot of young black men, are born with this cloud over their heads. It's their penitentiary cloud, this philosophy we all have, that it's harder for us.
Erykah Badu
I think what makes people think that is because of things people write. It really doesn't have anything to do with the artist.
Erykah Badu
Things are useless without practice.
Erykah Badu
I have an organization called BLIND [Beautiful Love Incorporated Nonprofit Development], so named because even though my interest is in the black community, because that's where I grew up and that's where I'm most skilled in fixing things, it doesn't end there.
Erykah Badu
