I have the ability to sing with emotion and feeling, but if you say I sound like Billie Holiday, thats cool. Lets look at who Billie was: she was this person, this singer, this beautiful diva who could move the audience with the slightest gesture of her hand. – Erykah Badu
I am not systematic at all when it comes to religion. I just love life. And Im not judgmental. And Im a vegetarian. – Erykah Badu
Man, I dont want to have nothing to do with computers. I dont want the government in my business. – Erykah Badu
Personally, I dont choose any particular religion or symbol or group of words or teachings to define me. Thats between me and the most high. You know, my higher self. The Creator. – Erykah Badu
I was in choir in school. I kind of just did it. I already knew I wanted to sing. My music program in my school wasnt really great – people didnt really want to be part of the choir, they didnt want to do the plays and stuff like that. It definitely wasnt the cool thing to do. – Lea Michele
The pop world is cool, but I never really thought of myself as part of it or wanting to be a part of it because Im on a label thats not really like that. Theyre not trying to dress me up, theyre not trying to do things like that. I feel like Im sort of separate from that, actually. – Norah Jones
