Kelly: "If you're gonna tell your life story, you gotta be honest, or don't do it."
Kelly: "Deep within us all there is an amazing inner sanctuary of the soul, a holy place, a Divine Center, a speaking Voice. . . . Life from the Center is a life of unhurried peace and power. It is simple. It is serene. It is amazing. It is radiant."
Kelly: "They say marriage will change you but it didn't change me. Being in love changed me."
Kelly: "People can say whatever they want about you without knowing the facts. They can criticize you without even knowing you, and hate you when they don't even know you. All of a sudden, you're, like, the bin Laden of America. Osama bin Laden is the only one who knows exactly what I'm going through."
Kelly: "Within all of us there is a storm. Some believe it will never end: but he who has faith in the heavens above will weather any storm."
Kelly: "I learnt a whole lot from my mother. About music, relationships, being a good person, loving people, the whole of life. I learnt about everything from her. Every single day I think about her. All through the day."
Kelly: "Sometimes silence can seem so loud."
Kelly: "You're younger, you might want to go to clubs and kick it, but as you get older, you start seeing that life has more meaning to it. The people that you love are the people you want to start trusting and start wanting them to trust you and start respecting them."
Kelly: "You are the world's greatest, when you say you are."
Kelly: "In life, you have people that love to party. That's me. People that love God. That's me. People that love sex. That's me. People that love people. That's me. And people that make mistakes. That's me also."
Kelly: "I only feel sorry for weak people. And mostly what I've come to find is that the weak people are the ones that are the haters."
Kelly: "You make a right on L, make a left on O, come to a green light and that's when you can go. You keep straight on V, until you come to E, that's when you see a big sign that say's welcome to Love Street."
Kelly: "I know my past is not what my future holds."
Kelly: "If there's no fire, there's no scream. If there's no scream, then no one hears you and no one comes to help you in the first place. The depth of my struggle has definitely determined the height of my success. To be able to teach my kids not just about success but about the struggle that comes with it."
Kelly: "I just want to touch your soul, let me pour into you. Fill you with my joy, and make you feel brand new."
Kelly: "The depth of your struggle determines the height of your success."
Kelly: "When a person is found not guilty, they're found not guilty. And it doesn't matter if it's a murder case, it doesn't matter what case it is, when they're found not guilty, they're not guilty."
