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 BaduWhat singing means to me, I never did consider myself a singer, I just let people watch me feel music and how it comes through me. I've worked on it and practiced a lot. I mean, music, I dance to it, and singing is just one way of getting it out of me.
Erykah BaduI think a lot of people have lost respect for the individual, you know, the individual, the person who doesn't conform.
Erykah BaduI don't know... I've been doing it for 17 years now, so of course I've seen pictures and thought, "Oh my god, I wish I would've never worn that." Yeah, but I did! And it was probably because it was my favorite thing at the time - my clothes always have some kind of emotion attached to them.
