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
I have a daughter who's four, who's dainty and princess-esque. I still get to dress her like my little accessory. I think I have one more year to do that, then she's going to get her own ideas - so I better move quickly!
Erykah Badu
What draws me to a project is how sympathetic I am toward it, so that I can relax into it and give up myself.
Erykah Badu
I know the community mostly for its art and culture... and of course its food, I eat at their restaurants. They make you feel like taking off your shoes... it feels like home.
Erykah Badu
I relate to that - he inspires me across the board. His music inspires me and reminds me to maintain honesty in the things that I do, to have an absence of fear. Listening to Earl Sweatshirt's music is like therapy to me.
Erykah Badu
I bring the staple of my culture.
Erykah Badu
And I figured out that the reason I couldn't get through the day as well as I can now is because I had too many things on my mind, on my plate, you know, for one person to have. So I started to eliminate some of the things that were too heavy to carry and unnecessary.
Erykah Badu
I was sitting at home one day and I got a call that Riccardo Tisci was considering me for the face of the Givenchy Spring/Summer 2014 campaign, and I said, Are you kidding? and that was the end of the conversation. I'm a really big fan.

People are uncomfortable with sexuality that’s not for male consumption.
Erykah Badu
I'm not satisfied with the explanations I get from tv or from school.
Erykah Badu
I come from a long line of matriarchal women, and my greatest teachers were my mothers.
Erykah Badu
In the morning, instead of saying to yourself, ‘I got to wake up’ say ‘I get to wake up!’
Erykah Badu
My favorite jewelry, it's just what I'm feeling at the time.
Erykah Badu
I'm pretty mutable as a human being, period - if you put me on Pluto, I can figure it out.
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 think what makes people think that is because of things people write. It really doesn't have anything to do with the artist.
Erykah Badu
I actually started writing it because I was inspired by my own personal growth.
Erykah Badu
My girls are very fashionable. They have a very good eye for marrying style and fashion.
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
I think a lot of people have lost respect for the individual, you know, the individual, the person who doesn't conform.
