Zitat des Tages von Kelly Rowland:
I actually started singing in church when I was about five years old. I remember looking at the choirs and just hearing all of those great big beautiful voices. And there was this one woman who could just wail. And I remember trying to sing like her when I was like going home.
The only thing I really love is Fiji water. That's like the only crazy request - I don't like any other water.
I want to tell stories and make people feel good. That's when music is at its finest.
You know how the Beatles broke off - they all did their solo projects and they came back together and they were even stronger!
I am not perfect! When I was a little girl I thought I was ugly. My nose was too big for my face.
I do sing in the car. I actually sing Britney Spears songs in the car - me and a close friend of mine. She lives in West Palm and I live in Miami, and when we're going back and forth to see each other, we sing: 'Oh, Baby Baby.' We sing all these 1990s songs. We're like two 14-year-old kids just having a good time.
If you have a pair of shoes that hurt, don't wear them. The ugliest thing that I think I've seen is a woman walk like her feet hurt. It's awful, so make sure your shoes fit.
When you want something bad enough, you work your butt off for it.
I love food so much, all I have to do is look at it and I gain 5 pounds.
I started crying, because there's nothing like hearing that the artist who originally did the song likes your version.
I don't get hit on enough.
Could I see myself with a British boyfriend? Absolutely. The way they wear their pants is so cute. Guys don't do it in America. Their style is cute. I just feel like Brits are honest - period. And that's what I like.
For a long time I wasn't happy, but that had nothing to do with Beyonce. That had to do with me trying to get my life in order and make better decisions for myself. I'm seeing all these wonderful things happen for her, and I am happy for her. But I want a path. I want things to pop off for me, too.
I think the most beautiful thing is that we're not parting because there were problems. We're parting because we're celebrating each others' growth.
Don't look at someone else and want to be them. Search within yourself and find out who you are and be someone positive.
Sometimes dirty can come off really cute or come off 'I don't even want you to touch me.'
I'm just steadily building myself up as Kelly Rowland, not just Kelly Rowland of Destiny's Child, which is a blessing to be able to do that.
I just feel like Brits are honest - period. And that's what I like.
I love doing collaborations - it's always good to do something that's out the box.
Self-reflection is so healthy. Journaling works for me - when I record the details of what I'm going through, whether it's a relationship issue or negative thoughts, I can look back and see how far I've come. It makes me proud to see my progress and how I got through a bad situation.
When it comes to racial issues, I'm very passionate about young girls just loving who they are in their own skin. Because I remember going to an all-white school and being the only black girl in an all-white school, think - looking around me, thinking there's no one else here that looks like me.
If I think I'm going to get into trouble I always say that I'm sick.
I would never go blonde. I'd look crazy.
It took a long while for me to know that I'm beautiful. I remember going through this phase when I was younger of wanting to pass by mirrors and not look at them. That was so ridiculous. I've learned now that beauty starts from within.
For right now, it really is the end. Hopefully in 10 years we'll all be married and have babies.
Never give up on your dream... because you never know what the Lord can bless you with.
I love a nicely groomed guy who smells good. That's important.
I saw someone the other day with yellow on their eyelids, and it looked so fresh. But I thought if I did that I'd look like a clown. So I went and I bought some yellow eye shadow from M.A.C. and I noticed that when you mix it with water it works better. So I tried it, and I looked like Big Bird. I will never do that again.
I would never become a size zero. I work out because I want to look good naked, simple as that.
Argh... I could be better with my time. I like to be punctual, but I could be better.
One thing that I had to remember in my personal journey in the music industry and coming up in the music industry was how many times I was told no. I was signed, I was dropped, I was signed, and I was put on a shelf.
We all come to the point where it's time to get yourself straight, as a businesswoman, a mother, whatever you are in life. It's tough love but it's also being real with yourself. It's important to take those rose-coloured glasses off and see what's going on.
Judge me if you want to. And as a matter of fact, it won't even count, 'cause the only person who can judge is God.
I always hope that my music can inspire someone, the same way other artists inspire me.
