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.

Some people come up and ask for an autograph and don't even look at me. They're like, 'Here, do it.' That don't bother me, but it doesn't open my heart.

A home birth is about being able to create exactly what you want, because it's such a violent moment inside of the body that you want everything else to be as beautiful as it can be.

Marvin Gaye is one of my favorite revolutionaries. He spoke from his heart, his mind. That's what I want to do.
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.

When people are going on to the next plateau of whatever this thing is called life, I also want them to breathe easily, even if it's the last one they take here with us. I guess I'm the welcoming committee and ushering committee.

My style is a little masculine, and what I loved about Pyer Moss was how well he can make a blazer, the looseness of those pants, or color palette that he chooses from season to season.

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.

I grew up with all mothers, all women. I come from a long line of matriarchs, very strong women.
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 -
They usually have a piano in every nursing home, and I always wanted to perform for whoever would listen when I learned something. I grew to understand very early that a lot of these people who are in nursing homes are elderly and don't have a lot of things that give them joy from day to day.
Erykah Badu -
Following your heart also means eliminating the things that no longer evolve you.
Erykah Badu -
My hair is an aesthetic choice… At the same time, how you wear your hair is a political statement as well.
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.

What makes me furious, not just because we're in an interview, but I don't like when writers take your words and put them somewhere else, in the wrong context in their own article about you.
Erykah Badu -
If you make a decision, a pact with someone, your friend, you should say, 'I'm gonna do this,' and you should stick to it.
Erykah Badu -
I don't read music or anything, so when I produce, I go basically by ear.
Erykah Badu -
I can be Erykah the human being more than the celebrity.
Erykah Badu -
I don't have one song that sounds like another one in my entire catalog.
Erykah Badu -
All I want to do is give the world my heart... Record label tryina make me compromise my art.
Erykah Badu
-
I encourage breaking free of self inflicted holding pens. I encourage the use of intelligence in every decision. I encourage creating.
Erykah Badu -
No one chooses to raise children alone.
Erykah Badu -
I love being an entertainer - not really fond of being a celebrity.
Erykah Badu -
Hopefully my music is medicine, some type of antidote for something or some kind of explanation or just to feel good.
