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
I know the community mostly for its art and culture... and of course its food, I eat at their restaurants. They make you feel like taking off your shoes... it feels like home.

I'm pretty mutable as a human being, period - if you put me on Pluto, I can figure it out.
Erykah Badu
The metal or the stone that's helping me .I'll incorporate them into anything I wear - but I think it's about accessories more than anything, because it's how you accessorize yourself that gives you your own unique style.
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
Personally, I don't choose any particular religion or symbol or group of words or teachings to define me. That's between me and the most high. You know, my higher self. The Creator.
Erykah Badu
I don't require sex for happiness - I need companionship. I need a partner I can depend on, that I can love and grow with.
