More quotes by Erykah Badu
He definitely does what a partner is supposed to do, that is, evolve you.
Erykah Badu
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
I encourage breaking free of self inflicted holding pens. I encourage the use of intelligence in every decision. I encourage creating.

The kind of music or the kind of arrangements that I do, the kind of musicians I choose, is just what I like to hear.

I'm a complete human being. I'm very emotional and loving. I feel, I hurt, I give, I take, and also I think. I analyze. I'm a sociologist, anthropologist.

My mom was the Diana Ross of our clan. She was always up-to-date, and always knew what to do and what not to do in a fashion sense.
Erykah Badu
If you make a decision, a pact with someone, your friend, you should say, 'I'm gonna do this,' and you should stick to it.
Erykah Badu
Breathing becomes really easy when you're laughing. It kick starts that feeling of joy.
Erykah Badu
What I like about houses like Givenchy. It's easy to pull from. With Givenchy you can accessorize to build anything, any look.
Erykah Badu
My fifth mother is Mother Nature - the things I had to learn on my own, the understanding I had to come to and still have to come to as a young woman, as a responsible mother, a responsible granddaughter and child. She teaches me willpower, honesty, and the things we need to heal ourselves from moment to moment.
Erykah Badu
I love being an entertainer - not really fond of being a celebrity.
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
My hair is an aesthetic choice… At the same time, how you wear your hair is a political statement as well.
Erykah Badu
Now keep in mind that I'm an artist and I'm sensitive about my sh*t
