Kelly Rowland

“I would never become a size zero. I work out because I want to look good naked, simple as that.”

“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.”

“As women, we have to realize what we bring to the table. What do you want to do for the world? How do you want to change it? And when you know that, you don't have to compare yourself to anybody else.”

“I never know when chat-up lines are happening! I don't hear them enough. I don't get hit on enough.”

“I wear men's cologne - it gets the fellas!”

“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.”

“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.”

“I'm careful with my heart. I don't take crap from no one these days. I put my foot down. Being a woman, you deserve heaven and earth.”

“We all have different things that we go through in our everyday life, and it's really important to know just at the end of the day, it doesn't matter what you face, you know, that you're going to win at the end of the day. You got to believe in yourself. You got to believe in God, know that He's going to get you through it.”

“I just love clothes! I'm a girl who loves clothes, accessories, shoes, bags and jewelry.”

“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.”

“If you don't know your worth, if you don't know your value, if you don't know how fantabulous you are - it's going to be hard for other people to see it. Being appreciative of self is beauty to me.”

“I love doing collaborations - it's always good to do something that's out the box.”

“Argh... I could be better with my time. I like to be punctual, but I could be better.”

“I don't get hit on enough.”

“I love food so much, all I have to do is look at it and I gain 5 pounds.”

“I actually crashed the car I learned to drive on. It was a friend of mine's car.”

“I went to a predominantly white school, and I was the only black girl. I can remember thinking, 'I don't want to be as dark as I am - I want to be a little fairer.' I didn't want to be 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.”

“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.”
