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.

They say marriage will change you but it didn't change me. Being in love changed me.

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.

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 look at my music in the beginning, and the sexual songs, the partying songs, those are the realities because those things happen.

I'm in love with music, and I'm pregnant by it. It's like having twins. Or triplets. Or eight-lets!

You know, I'm no different from a fireman. You got to run into a fire no matter how big the blaze is.
