Erykah Badu quotes that show she is a Type 3

  • "I planned my success. I knew it was going to happen.”

  • "I'm always evolving; I'm always changing. As long as I remain true to myself, I think the image will reflect that" (this quote also reflects her 4 Wing).

  • “I’m only in competition with my last level.”

  • “When I was 14, I wrote down that I would be whatever I wanted to be.”

  • “I figure, if the mind just ‘has’ to be busy, why not make up happy sh*t?" (this shows she is not a Type 4).

  • "The hardest thing to do is to be true to yourself, especially when everybody is watching" (this quote also reflects her 4 Wing).

  • "I'm not trying to win an award for being the best vegetarian, just want to be healthy. Take a salt bath. Do things that my parents were never able to do. I'm blessed to do anything I want, so I decide to take the best care of my body and my family in the same way. Holistically. Vitally."

  • "I'm free. I just do what I want, say what I want, say how I feel, and I don't try to hurt nobody. I just try to make sure that I don't compromise my art in any kind of way, and I think people respect that." (this also speaks to her 4 Wing). 

  • "The music business is motivated by money. Music is motivated by energy and feelings" (this also speaks to her 4 Wing). 

  • "I'm always in search of the next high. A different sort of high, though. A performance high."
