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.

R. Kelly is an image, a brand. That's my job. There's a whole other side of me that's Robert, who is a father, a friend. But then I put on the game face and go into the studio and do the music. That's just another day at the office.

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