If there's no fire, there's no scream. If there's no scream, then no one hears you and no one comes to help you in the first place. The depth of my struggle has definitely determined the height of my success. To be able to teach my kids not just about success but about the struggle that comes with it.
Quote by -R. Kelly
I said that when I establish myself as an artist that can do pretty much anything I want to do in music, I'm going to make a country album.
Quote by -R. Kelly
I look at my music in the beginning, and the sexual songs, the partying songs, those are the realities because those things happen.
Quote by -R. Kelly
To make an album like 'Love Letter,' everything's got to be about love. Everything has to have a great feeling when you listen to it.
Quote by -R. Kelly
I don't want fans mad at me, so I gotta give them what they expect and what they want.
Quote by -R. Kelly
I'm not an A student; I'm not even a B student, but I've gotten a lot better with the reading because of texts. And I can voice-text and say whatever I want to people.
Quote by -R. Kelly
Everywhere I go, from malls to restaurants to sold-out tours overseas and back, everywhere I've been, I get nothing but love.
Quote by -R. Kelly
I know how to put it into a melody and make it comical but sexual at the same time.
Quote by -R. Kelly
I want to be able to be a father to my kids, where I've never seen my father, but my kids can see me whenever they want, so that was broken.
Quote by -R. Kelly
When you commit to something and have fun with it, it appreciates you, the gift, and it starts to help you out.
Quote by -R. Kelly
I don't want to just go out and do song to song to song. I like to create things before the song actually kicks in, little things you do to excite the crowd.
Quote by -R. Kelly
Other kids could read, other kids could write, other kids could spell, they could do math. I felt like an alien. I felt like an outcast. I felt like, 'What is going to happen to me?'
Quote by -R. Kelly
There's a time and place for everything. 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.
Quote by -R. Kelly
In my life, I wanted to feel tall. I wanted to be somebody. I wanted to be tall as the Sears Tower. I wanted to be on top of the Sears Tower. I wanted to be as strong as the Sears Tower feels.
Quote by -R. Kelly
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 forevermore, it will go on undefeated. I'm also a very loving person.
Quote by -R. Kelly
When you hear romantic music, it makes you want to take your girl out to dinner or buy her something or take her out in the moonlight or take her on a walk.
Quote by -R. Kelly
If I could change anything, I would definitely have had a father around. My father. I would definitely say it affected me deeply as a young man, coming up. Who doesn't want a father? Those are the beginnings, and those are what can dictate the roads you choose in life, and choosing them well.
Quote by -R. Kelly
Always believe what you see - with your own eyes, that is. Always believe what you see. That's the best way to go about this business. I've heard a lot of things about a lot of people, and it was never true.
Quote by -R. Kelly
R. Kelly is an image, a brand. That's my job. There's a whole other side of me that's Robert, who is a father, a friend. But then I put on the game face and go into the studio and do the music. That's just another day at the office.
Quote by -R. Kelly
I really don't chase songs. I get in the studio, I know what I gotta do; I'm pretty much programmed to do it.
Quote by -R. Kelly
No matter how much money I make, no matter how many hit songs. I still perform like a street performer.
Quote by -R. Kelly
You know, I love plays. I love the smell of a theater. The old rooms and the carpet and all that stuff. I love to tell stories. Even before I was doing music, I saw myself as a director.
Quote by -R. Kelly
I'm not gonna be broke, like my mom was broke, my uncles were broke, my sisters didn't have money, my cousins on down.
Quote by -R. Kelly
I don't really know the story of the Pied Piper. I don't read stories, first of all. I just remember either a rabbit or a rat leading people out of the village with a flute. That's all I can tell you.
Quote by -R. Kelly
'The Notebook' was beautiful, and I was crying because its hero and heroine had died together.
Quote by -R. Kelly
'Trapped In The Closet' lives in a place on the earth on its own. It pays its own rent, it's its own landlord, it owns the building, it's everything. And it's so separate from what R. Kelly does; that's the great thing about it.
Quote by -R. Kelly
There was a time I desperately needed for the world to know that I was no category guy. My whole goal in life was to reach that certain success where people will say, 'Hey, that guy can do anything. He's the Evel Knievel of music. He's jumping over 15 buses!'
Quote by -R. Kelly
I did 'Love Letter' and 'Write Me Back,' and those were fun albums for me to do because they took me back to music I love.
Quote by -R. Kelly
I've heard people have written books of me. People don't even know me, but they've written a book on me. You ever heard of hearing it from the horse's mouth? I'm the horse.
Quote by -R. Kelly
On many different singles, I was able to marry my music with rappers who understood the natural bond between us.
Quote by -R. Kelly
I have always been infatuated with country music. Country music tells stories, and I've always loved to tell stories. I said that when I establish myself as an artist that can do pretty much anything I want to do in music, I'm going to make a country album.
Quote by -R. Kelly
You can't satisfy everybody. I will continue to do my job until I get fired, and the only people who can fire me are my fans.
Quote by -R. Kelly
When I was performing on streets, there was no pressure. People accepted me. They loved me without knowing me.
Quote by -R. Kelly
I have Marvin Gaye's driver's license. His wife sent it to me, because she really loved my 'Happy People' record. She said that she thought it represented the sprit of her husband. The license is from California. I get inspired every time I look at it.
Quote by -R. Kelly
I learnt a whole lot from my mother. About music, relationships, being a good person, loving people, the whole of life. I learnt about everything from her. Every single day I think about her. All through the day.
Quote by -R. Kelly
I love the smell of a theater. The old rooms and the carpet and all that stuff. I love to tell stories. Even before I was doing music, I saw myself as a director. So most of my songs come in a play form, you know, where there are characters and stories, so I like to go beyond just the song sometimes.
Quote by -R. Kelly
When I think of musical geniuses, I think of Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Michael Jackson and Prince. That's who comes to mind.
Quote by -R. Kelly
'Love Letter' reminds me of 'Chocolate Factory' and 'Happy People.' It's a little bit of both of those, yeah. I just wanted it to be classy, man. And romantic. And maybe 10 percent sexy.
Quote by -R. Kelly
Music is very powerful and can make you feel whatever it is. If you listen to gospel, you're going to feel thankful, and you're going to want to call up people that you hate and tell them that you love them. When you listen to sexual music, it gets you in the mood.
Quote by -R. Kelly
My whole goal in life was to reach that certain success where people will say, 'Hey, that guy can do anything. He's the Evel Knievel of music. He's jumping over 15 buses!'
Quote by -R. Kelly
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.
