More quotes by Erykah Badu
I just love expressing my joy and my mind through what I wear, or how I cook, or how I dance, or how I write or perform a song - how I move.
Erykah Badu
Now keep in mind that I'm an artist and I'm sensitive about my sh*t
Erykah Badu
That's the moment I learned that the more you believe in yourself, the stronger the vibration touches someone else, and things begin to happen the way you dreamed that they would.
Erykah Badu
It's just that little box in the middle of Fort Greene, Brooklyn. Most of the time I go I don't even leave that apartment. I have just enough: a little bed, a little kitchen with two pots. I make some tea and I look out the window or just lay down.
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 think we [with Riccardo Tisci] share a sensibility about art - we pull from the ancient future.
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

Erykah Badu
I'm pretty mutable as a human being.
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 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 favorite jewelry, it's just what I'm feeling at the time.
Erykah Badu
I actually started writing it because I was inspired by my own personal growth.
Erykah Badu
I love putting the music together. It's like art
Erykah Badu
There are millions and billions of atoms of memory of all kinds of musical themes in me.
Erykah Badu
I'm only in competition with my last level.
Erykah Badu
I feel like I haven't done anything. What have I done? I've just made a few records.
Erykah Badu
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
He definitely does what a partner is supposed to do, that is, evolve you.
