I don't know if I'll ever accomplish most of my dreams - I have so many.

I come from a long line of matriarchal women, and my greatest teachers were my mothers.

I grew up with all mothers, all women. I come from a long line of matriarchs, very strong women.

Even if the project requires you to have all the ducks in a line, I can't do that. I don't create way.

Whenever I think about funk music, it has a look - and that's how it sounds.

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.

My girls are very fashionable. They have a very good eye for marrying style and fashion.
