More quotes by Erykah Badu
Things are useless without practice.
Erykah Badu
I consider my musical ability to be a gift from the Creator. It's not that I try to work hard or nothing like that, it's a gift, it was given to me, and I appreciate it.
Erykah Badu
I'm pretty mutable as a human being.
Erykah Badu
I'm only in competition with my last level.
Erykah Badu
I don't sing melodically. Rhyme pattern is how I sing. I also write like a lyricist or an MC because that's what I was before I was a singer. I just took those elements and put them into music.
Erykah Badu
You don't have to believe everything you think.
Erykah Badu

Better think while it's still legal.
Erykah Badu
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.
Erykah Badu
I lived in New York for maybe a year and a half, from '95 to '97, but I live in Dallas. My whole family is there.

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
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
People are uncomfortable with sexuality that’s not for male consumption.
Erykah Badu
When I get ready to do an album, that means I have something to say for the sake of words, and I listen back to all of the things I've been creating and pull things from out of the air to go with them. It's almost like I start creating the album before I even think about creating it.
Erykah Badu
The wise healer endures the pain. Cry. Tears bring joy.
Erykah Badu
I'm not satisfied with the explanations I get from tv or from school.
Erykah Badu
Time to eliminate things that no longer evolve me.
Erykah Badu
A lot of people have dementia, which is great, because then they don't recognize me.
Erykah Badu
Music and the music business are two different things.
