The male gay community seems to be very into female singers. I think it could be the songs we sing. They're more open with their feelings. And they have good taste!

I'm just a person trapped inside a woman's body.

People dance and we have a lot of music and... this might be the closet I get for a while.

I go to a club to relax and hear the music on a big sound system. I don't go to pull a guy.

Female performers have been doing this for years - pushing the envelope about sexuality - and the minute a man does it, everybody freaks out.

It's hard because I think I fall into this in-between space where there's something that's innately feminine about me, and there's also something that's kind of androgynous. I carry myself somewhere in between, and I think my music lends itself to that as well.

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.

My wife, Gayle, is a wonderful musician and singer. We share music, so it's a deep bond.

I'm tired of being around men all the time. I'm going to start a band called Skirt with three girls and I'll play the guitar and sing backing vocals in drag. I went window shopping when I was in New York, saw a lot of amazing dresses.
