My favorite jewelry, it's just what I'm feeling at the time.

The reason why you don't see people looking like me is because I don't encourage that. I encourage you to be you.

Erykah Badu projects don't even sound like Erykah Badu projects. I don't even have one album that sounds like another one of my albums.

We're all friends, inside the music and outside the music. I mean, we don't sound anything alike, we don't approach our music anything alike, but we come from the same genuine place. We want our music to be real and we don't want to compromise our art.

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.

I go through phases of stuff.

I'm pretty mutable as a human being, period - if you put me on Pluto, I can figure it out.
