I love putting the music together. It’s like art.

Music and the music business are two different things.

I can be Erykah the human being more than the celebrity.

I’m a complete human being. I’m very emotional and loving. I feel, I hurt, I give, I take, and also I think. I analyze. I’m a sociologist, anthropologist.

I believed in myself, and I’ve always worked very, very hard as an artist, and I am an artist in every sense of the word.

I don’t feel like I need to preach to the world or nothing like that. I just feel like I share what I say, and if listeners get it, they get it. And I never...

I’m a woman who has gone through many heartaches, enough to dedicate my whole life to trying to figure them out.

When you’re in a relationship you want it to work. My parents did, I did. But we are not taught how to make it work.

I love to leave the interpretation of my music up to the listener. It’s fun to see what they’ll say it is.

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

I’m a Pisces, so I’m a very closed-book kind of person.

The music business is motivated by money. Music is motivated by energy and feelings.

I’m kind of a recluse when it comes to going outside.
