The forecast today is love all around.
When you’re me, when you’re R. Kelly, everybody wants a piece of you, and if you don’t give ’em a piece they’ll find a way to get a piece of you one way or the other.
I spend like $2 million a year on Chinese food and pizza for ten people in the studio who don’t sing or produce.
I’ve always had mostly women come out to see me perform. That’s the reason the guys show up; they know R. Kelly is going to draw the women. Most of the songs I’m singing are catering to women anyway.
I’ve really been writing a lot of country songs. I used to get criticized for doing a ‘Bump Grind,’ then turning around and doing a gospel song. But the truth is I’m glad I have a gift that allows me to switch lanes.
My fans have always loved my metaphors.
I’m in love with music, and I’m pregnant by it. It’s like having twins. Or triplets. Or eight-lets!
My music has shaken hands with the world somehow – it’s a beautiful disease, and I’m glad I got it.
You’re younger, you might want to go to clubs and kick it, but as you get older, you start seeing that life has more meaning to it. The people that you love are the people you want to start trusting and start wanting them to trust you and start respecting them.
I’ve programmed myself musically to come up with love-feeling tracks that are romantic, sexy, but classy, all in one. And that’s the challenge. Once I create that music, then the lyrical content starts to come – you know, the stories and things like that.
I want America to know that you can’t believe everything you hear, and nowadays, you can’t believe everything you see.
I want people to notice my writing abilities are real and that I’m not just stuck in one situation.
Injustice anywhere is an injustice anywhere.
All of a sudden you’re like the Bin Laden of America. Osama Bin Laden is the only one who knows what I’m going through.
But I have to say, it was fun doing this Love Letter album because, hey, man, love has never failed. It has won every battle. And today and forever more it will go on undefeated. I’m also a very loving person.
There are miracles in life I must achieve. But first I know it starts inside of me.
Take away the In God We Trust, tell me what the hell is wrong with us.
She’s my comforter and friend, I tell you she’s that peace within. She’s the lover in my home, she’s the strength when I’m not strong. Everyday my valentine, I’m so glad heave made her mine.
If you’re gonna tell your life story, you gotta be honest, or don’t do it.
Not only did I get an A in music but I got an A in ladies.
I’m very responsible. And with ability you have to have responsibility. I’m not perfect. But you have to make sure that your children will know that daddy makes mistakes.
