More quotes by Erykah Badu
All the women in my family were very creative.
Erykah Badu
There are millions and billions of atoms of memory of all kinds of musical themes in 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'm learning from them! Everyone says that, but it's true. You learn more about yourself from them than from any other lesson.
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
I feel like I haven't done anything. What have I done? I've just made a few records.
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
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
I love putting the music together. It's like art
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
My girls are very fashionable. They have a very good eye for marrying style and fashion.
Erykah Badu
My nine-year-old daughter is very creative and colorful and trendy.
Erykah Badu
I just love expressing my joy and my mind through what I wear, or how I cook, or how I dance, or how I write or perform a song - how I move.
Erykah Badu
You don't have to believe everything you think.
Erykah Badu
I knew it would happen. I knew I'd be No. 1. I'm a new artist I don't know the rules. Nobody told me it wouldn't happen
Erykah Badu
A lot of people have dementia, which is great, because then they don't recognize me.
Erykah Badu
I think we [with Riccardo Tisci] share a sensibility about art - we pull from the ancient future.
Erykah Badu
I have a pair of blue pants that were my favorite for a while and were a part of my show uniform - every night, you know.
Erykah Badu
The wise healer endures the pain. Cry. Tears bring joy.
Erykah Badu
Marvin Gaye is one of my favorite revolutionaries. He spoke from his heart, his mind. That's what I want to do.
