More quotes by Erykah Badu
Honey isn't really that good for you.
Erykah Badu
But now I realize that this record business really needs me. No one else is trying to take a chance or do something different.
Erykah Badu
I'm only in competition with my last level.
Erykah Badu
I'm not satisfied with the explanations I get from tv or from school.
Erykah Badu
You don't have to believe everything you think.
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
Through [my children] patience, they're showing me how much they support what's going on, because I'm having to do a lot of work right now.
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.
Erykah Badu
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.
Erykah Badu
I view my hair and clothes as functional art.
Erykah Badu
I don't require sex for happiness - I need companionship. I need a partner I can depend on, that I can love and grow with.
Erykah Badu
In the morning, instead of saying to yourself, ‘I got to wake up’ say ‘I get to wake up!’
Erykah Badu
I love putting the music together. It's like art
Erykah Badu
I try to be honest and I keep moving.
Erykah Badu
My paternal grandmother gave me the courage to investigate things and not take things at face value or judge people by what I first imagine them to be.
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
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
I'm a complete human being. I'm very emotional and loving. I feel, I hurt, I give, I take, and also I think. I analyze. I'm a sociologist, anthropologist.
Erykah Badu
My eyes are green, Cause I eat a lot of vegetables, It don't have nothing to do with your new friend
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.
