More quotes by Erykah Badu
I've been a vegetarian since I was 19.
Erykah Badu
I was the bohemian in my family, the this is my favorite shoe and I don't care if it has tape around it kind of person. The tape could become a fashion statement. Or a political statement.

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
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

Erykah Badu
I come from a long line of matriarchal women, and my greatest teachers were my mothers.
Erykah Badu
I remember when I signed with Kedar Entertainment through Universal Records. It was my first record deal and it's the one I still have now. At that time, there had been a couple of opportunities I was almost given, but at the last minute the giver came back and told me it couldn't happen.
Erykah Badu
I relate to that - he inspires me across the board. His music inspires me and reminds me to maintain honesty in the things that I do, to have an absence of fear. Listening to Earl Sweatshirt's music is like therapy to me.
Erykah Badu
I'm pretty mutable as a human being.
Erykah Badu
The kind of music or the kind of arrangements that I do, the kind of musicians I choose, is just what I like to hear.
Erykah Badu
There are millions and billions of atoms of memory of all kinds of musical themes in me.
Erykah Badu
My paternal grandmother gave me the courage to investigate things and not take things at face value or judge people by what I first imagine them to be.
Erykah Badu
I view my hair and clothes as functional art.
Erykah Badu
I feel like I haven't done anything. What have I done? I've just made a few records.
