I don't think it matters what school you go to, but I think it's important for parents to be involved. And to know that when school stops, learning continues, and to continue teaching at home.

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.

I can be Erykah the human being more than the celebrity.

But now I realize that this record business really needs me. No one else is trying to take a chance or do something different.

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

I'm learning from them! Everyone says that, but it's true. You learn more about yourself from them than from any other lesson.

I love putting the music together. It's like art

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.
