Quotes About R. Kelly

Country music tells stories, and I've always loved to tell stories.

I took all this criticism very personally, thinking I was bringing about America's moral decay. So I decided to write children's books. This was a stretch for me, because I hate children. But, Dr. Seuss hated children. So did Hans Christian Andersen. Lewis Carroll loved children in a way that's illegal in forty-eight states. (I mentioned this in a lecture, and someone asked, "What are the two states where it's okay?" That's how I met R. Kelly.)
