More quotes by Erykah Badu
Things are useless without practice.
Erykah Badu
Im a hip-hopper, and its something you live and do. It makes me angry that were misrepresented, that were being killed every day by one another, by the government, by the food we eat, the choices we make. It makes me angry because it doesnt have to be that way and it is.
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
There are millions and billions of atoms of memory of all kinds of musical themes in me.
Erykah Badu
I actually started writing it because I was inspired by my own personal growth.
Erykah Badu
In the morning, instead of saying to yourself, ‘I got to wake up’ say ‘I get to wake up!’
Erykah Badu
I imagine that when I am creating a song or a project or an album or putting some clothing together or cooking a meal, whatever it is, I don't really have a recipe. The fun part is to throw that big piece of clay in the middle of the table as hard as I can, and whatever shape it takes, that's what shape it takes, and then I start to carve away.
Erykah Badu
Different periods, different cultures - it's just the way my mind works. My music is that way as well. There's a foundation but the inspiration comes from everywhere. I've been influenced by so many things.
Erykah Badu
I'll dabble here and there in different forms of the art, but the label has me locked down like a slave so, of course, I'll be doing albums during this time
Erykah Badu
My favorite jewelry, it's just what I'm feeling at the time.
Erykah Badu
I'm a performance artist first I'm a recording artist second.
Erykah Badu
If you want to relate to a certain audience or generation, you have to speak their language. I truly believe that.
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
I have a daughter who's four, who's dainty and princess-esque. I still get to dress her like my little accessory. I think I have one more year to do that, then she's going to get her own ideas - so I better move quickly!
Erykah Badu
I think giving is a blind act that should come from a part of me that sees no discrimination (that's why I called it blind).
Erykah Badu
I come from a long line of matriarchal women, and my greatest teachers were my mothers.
Erykah Badu
I'm not satisfied with the explanations I get from tv or from school.
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
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
What I work hard at doing is staying on a path of being kind and showing and proving that I'm a good person to society. That's hard. The talent, that's a gift. I just came here like that.
Erykah Badu
