“I'm free. I just do what I want, say what I want, say how I feel, and I don't try to hurt nobody. I just try to make sure that I don't compromise my art in any kind of way, and I think people respect that.”
Erykah Badu“As Erykah Badu, it has nothing to do with me, the way I look, my hair wrap, my style, it's about you and what you feel for my music. If I can make you feel like the way that people who influenced me made me feel, that's completion.”
Erykah Badu“What I work hard at doing is staying on a path of being kind and showing and proving that I'm a good person to society. That's hard. The talent, that's a gift. I just came here like that.”
Erykah Badu“When you're in a relationship you want it to work. My parents did, I did. But we are not taught how to make it work.”
Erykah Badu“Personally, I don't choose any particular religion or symbol or group of words or teachings to define me. That's between me and the most high. You know, my higher self. The Creator.”
Erykah Badu“I am not systematic at all when it comes to religion. I just love life. And I'm not judgmental. And I'm a vegetarian.”
Erykah Badu“Man, I don't want to have nothing to do with computers. I don't want the government in my business.”
Erykah Badu“What does music mean to me? I don't think I would really be much without it, without it coming through me. It's my means of communication, my means of growth, my means of transportation from one point in my life to another.”
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“I'm free. I just do what I want, say what I want, say how I feel, and I don't try to hurt nobody. I just try to make sure that I don't compromise my art in any kind of way, and I think people respect that.”
