We all have our own closets to come out of.

'Trapped In The Closet' lives in a place on the earth on its own. It pays its own rent, it's its own landlord, it owns the building, it's everything. And it's so separate from what R. Kelly does; that's the great thing about it.

I realize it's a cliche almost, that coming out of the closet is a very healthy and empowering thing to do, but for me, it really has been a truly wonderful thing.

When you're in the closet, you feel like the sky will fall down if anyone finds out. A lot of the fear is self-generated.

I'm not big on the closet.

I was fine being in the closet at the beginning of my career because that's what you were supposed to be - until I realized that it didn't serve anybody, and I was left feeling utterly empty. This is who I am, so I've gotta be me.

Someone once told me that being in the closet is like living in a vertical casket. Perfect description.

One of the side benefits of staying in the closet is you can have a much bigger career.

I have the motto that says, 'Whatever you see in your closet that you like, pick it and wear it.' It's not just your closet, but just your life. Whatever catches your eye. Pick it.
