When I was performing on streets, there was no pressure. People accepted me. They loved me without knowing me.

My mother always told me if you write about life, you will always be in the game. Just don't write songs write life. I decided to take her up on that.

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.

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.

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.

Sometimes silence can seem so loud.

Just listen to all this sweet, sweet music. I'm working the music.
