Just listen to all this sweet, sweet music. I'm working the music.
I am very conscious of who I am as an artist and as an inspirational person.
My music has shaken hands with the world somehow - it's a beautiful disease, and I'm glad I got it.
My fans have always loved my metaphors.
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.
My mother wasn't rich, and I never seen my father. I was a street performer. I've been shot. And now I'm known around the world, and I've touched a lot of people with my music. That's one of the great testimonies that's gonna go down in history.
