More quotes by Erykah Badu
Through [my children] patience, they're showing me how much they support what's going on, because I'm having to do a lot of work right now.
Erykah Badu
Hip-hop is the people. What the people are moving toward is what hip-hop is. I think people are moving toward a freer way of thinking. Openness.
Erykah Badu
What makes me furious, not just because we're in an interview, but I don't like when writers take your words and put them somewhere else, in the wrong context in their own article about you.
Erykah Badu
I've had two children. I've had three boyfriends. I've had a lot of things happen that can change your opinions and values and philosophies.
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
My favorite jewelry, it's just what I'm feeling at the time.

We as Black people have to tell our own stories. We have to document our history. When we allow someone else to document our history the history becomes twisted and we get written out. We get our noses blown off.
Erykah Badu
When people are going on to the next plateau of whatever this thing is called life, I also want them to breathe easily, even if it's the last one they take here with us. I guess I'm the welcoming committee and ushering committee.
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 have a Pinterest, and if you look there you'll see the things I really like and adore, have crushes on, and there's a lot of stuff from Riccardo's [Tisci] line on there.
Erykah Badu
I have advice for people - period - who are in unhealthy relationships: Follow your heart. It will get you to where you need to be. Sometimes it's hard, sometimes it's easy, the places that your heart takes you. But continue to follow it. Where the train leads you - you'll get there.
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.
Erykah Badu
It's almost like a lot of black people in America, a lot of young black men, are born with this cloud over their heads. It's their penitentiary cloud, this philosophy we all have, that it's harder for us.
Erykah Badu
You don't have to believe everything you think.
Erykah Badu
I think we [with Riccardo Tisci] share a sensibility about art - we pull from the ancient future.
Erykah Badu
My hair is an aesthetic choice… At the same time, how you wear your hair is a political statement as well.
Erykah Badu
I've been a vegetarian since I was 19.
Erykah Badu
People who say that music is dead or hip-hop is dead are refusing to evolve.
Erykah Badu
My style is a little masculine, and what I loved about Pyer Moss was how well he can make a blazer, the looseness of those pants, or color palette that he chooses from season to season.
Erykah Badu
I love being an entertainer - not really fond of being a celebrity.
