I hate losing, and I'm gonna do whatever it takes to be the best at whatever it is I'm doing.

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 don't know if it is a spiritual, physiological or psychological phenomenon, but I believe now more than ever that singing is a universal, built-in mechanism designed to cultivate empathy and compassion.

My granddad doesn't care if he falls down when he's singing, he's just having a laugh.

Singing and entertainment are now my first priority.

When air conditioning, escalators, and advertising appeared, shopping expanded its scale, but also limited its spontaneity. And it became much more predictable, almost scientific. What had once been the most surprising became the most manipulated.

Growing up, just singing in bands, I didn't have the same kind of voice as everyone else.

By that point, I had started taking singing lessons. And after the first session, I mean, I was surprised that the windows didn't shatter. And after the third session, I really didn't know where this voice had come from.

George Bush taking credit for the wall coming down is like the rooster taking credit for the sun rising.

I have sung some songs in Telugu and Malayalam. And I want to sing in Tamil, too.

No one could save me from the grief of losing my child or losing my first marriage. I had to do that on my own.
