Erykah Badu

I think a lot of people have lost respect for the individual, you know, the individual, the person who doesn't conform.

I consider my musical ability to be a gift from the Creator. It's not that I try to work hard or nothing like that, it's a gift, it was given to me, and I appreciate it.

I've had two children. I've had three boyfriends. I've had a lot of things happen that can change your opinions and values and philosophies.

My idols are singers like Billie Holiday and Erykah Badu because there's no gloss on what they do.

I'm interested in the psychological exploration of human nature, and it just happens to come in the form of film-making.

I think celebrities suck.
