In life, you have people that love to party. Thats me. People that love God. Thats me. People that love sex. Thats me. People that love people. Thats me. And people that make mistakes.Thats me also. – R. Kelly
They say marriage will change you but it didnt change me. Being in love changed me. – R. Kelly
If theres no fire, theres no scream. If theres 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. – R. Kelly
All that stuff about heavy metal and hard rock, I dont subscribe to any of that. Its all just music.
