More quotes by 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
People who say that music is dead or hip-hop is dead are refusing to evolve.
Erykah Badu
There are millions and billions of atoms of memory of all kinds of musical themes in me.

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 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
I encourage breaking free of self inflicted holding pens. I encourage the use of intelligence in every decision. I encourage creating.
Erykah Badu
I come from a long line of matriarchal women, and my greatest teachers were my mothers.
Erykah Badu
Music and the music business are two different things.
Erykah Badu
My nine-year-old daughter is very creative and colorful and trendy.
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
I'm pretty mutable as a human being.
Erykah Badu
My eyes are green, Cause I eat a lot of vegetables, It don't have nothing to do with your new friend

I bring the staple of my culture.
