I planned my success. I knew it was going to happen.

I think a lot of people have lost respect for the individual, you know, the individual, the person who doesn't conform.
Erykah Badu
Whenever I think about funk music, it has a look - and that's how it sounds.
Erykah Badu
I view my hair and clothes as functional art.
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.

It's just that little box in the middle of Fort Greene, Brooklyn. Most of the time I go I don't even leave that apartment. I have just enough: a little bed, a little kitchen with two pots. I make some tea and I look out the window or just lay down.

My girls are very fashionable. They have a very good eye for marrying style and fashion.

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 don't know... I've been doing it for 17 years now, so of course I've seen pictures and thought, Oh my god, I wish I would've never worn that. Yeah, but I did! And it was probably because it was my favorite thing at the time - my clothes always have some kind of emotion attached to them.
Erykah Badu
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.
Erykah Badu
The wise healer endures the pain. Cry. Tears bring joy.
Erykah Badu
My favorite jewelry, it's just what I'm feeling at the time.
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
I think we [with Riccardo Tisci] share a sensibility about art - we pull from the ancient future.
Erykah Badu
Better think while it's still legal.
Erykah Badu
The girls just like to be in the shoes. They like to scuff up the floors and walk around in high-heeled shoes that are too big for them, all over the house.
