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

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.

I wouldn't be able to do the songs as long as I've been doing if I didn't feel the pulse of the world. But I can feel people and I know what they want. I feel like I know how they are, because I am the people. And I just have a gift.

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.

Not only did I get an A in music but I got an A in ladies.

All of a sudden you're like the Bin Laden of America. Osama Bin Laden is the only one who knows what I'm going through.
