Kelly Rowland Quotations

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.

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.

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.

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.

Never give up on your dream... because you never know what the Lord can bless you with.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Coming into the music industry, even when I was a kid, one thing I learned is timing is everything. You being prepared is everything.

Ever since we were little, we were so on fire for our dreams. We never let anyone blow our flames out.

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

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 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.

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.

Honesty, like my mama always says, is always the best policy.

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'm in love with wigs. I get them custom-made, and I have my hairstylist shape them to my head. I can go from short to long in less than a minute!

I love finding new talent, to be completely honest, and my opportunity that I got to do 'X Factor U.K.' was just incredible. I will never forget it.

Don't look at someone else and want to be them. Search within yourself and find out who you are and be someone positive.

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

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.

I remember I went through a period where I didn't embrace my 'chocolatiness.' I don't know if that's a word, but I didn't embrace my chocolate lifestyle. Just being a chocolate, lovely brown skin girl and being proud of that.

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

When you want something bad enough, you work your butt off for it.

I see the beauty in boxing. It teaches me strength physically, but mostly mentally. I had to learn my strength, because for so long I could have been tougher than I was.

Sometimes dirty can come off really cute or come off 'I don't even want you to touch me.'

When I get married, it will be for life - divorce is not an option.

You know how the Beatles broke off - they all did their solo projects and they came back together and they were even stronger!

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.

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.

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

For right now, it really is the end. Hopefully in 10 years we'll all be married and have babies.

I want to tell stories and make people feel good. That's when music is at its finest.

I'm kind of a germ freak. When I get on a plane, I spray my seat and everything with Lysol Disinfectant Spray.

If I think I'm going to get into trouble I always say that I'm sick.

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.

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.

My face and skin trick is to moisturise well in the winter time, because the weather eats up your skin, and I never go to sleep with make up on. Someone told me it ages you ten years.

I am not perfect! When I was a little girl I thought I was ugly. My nose was too big for my face.

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

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

I'm from the South - I love to eat, and that's why I have to exercise.

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.

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 have so many funny moments, like bringing guys up in different cities during 'Cater 2 U. There's a performance with myself and Nelly. We let you backstage, like right before we go up the lift. We wanted everybody to be able to see what goes on behind the scenes.

I was really surprised to see my name on the Hermann Trophy watch list, ... I am excited. It is such a prestigious award and I hope I can live up to the expectations of being associated with that group of players.

I did live over in the U.K. for a while, so I guess I'm just naturally a Brit at heart.

For right now, it really is the end, ... Hopefully in 10 years we'll all be married and have babies.

It has been a very personal album for me. It has been one of the best experiences of my life. It's a look into the past two years, going through different relationships, love and growing as a woman. It's a soul-searching record. It's really beautiful.

I want to thank you all for coming out here in this rain. We are humbled to be here.

Mark always told India that she is an amazing athlete and he is right. Not only is she athletic but she has a lot of skill as well. Usually players have one or the other. India is so unique because she has both. She creates a lot of problems for defenders, especially one-on-one but also combining with other players. I am just glad I only have to go against her in practice.

We've been doing this since we were 9 or 10 years old, ... We've been doing this for a very long time.

The only thing I really love is Fiji water. That's like the only crazy request - I don't like any other water.

We want you all to know how much we love you guys. You've made all of our dreams come true.

You have wonderful artists like Patty Labelle and Aretha Franklin that have opened up the door and been able to let us through,

Right now, this is definitely the final tour and the final album. We have made a decision, ... And, maybe, we might wake up 10 years from now and we might want to do an album. Or we might wake up three years or five years from now and say, 'Y'all feel like doing another album?' What people don't realize is that we are still only 24 or 25 years old.

This is an honor, but it is a shared honor, ... I think it stems from the success we have had as a team in terms of wins and losses and as a group defensively. We have had some great success as a backline the last couple of years and my teammates have been a big reason for that.

I love you B. I love you Michelle.

India is one of the best players in the country but I am not sure if she believes that yet, ... I have seen all the best attacking players the ACC has to offer over the last three years and India stacks up with any of them. I have faced the best in the country and she is right there.

I didn't know this was happening. That's all I wear.

He's an up-North kind of guy, ... It's all about getting what needs to get done finished and have it done well. But at the same time he jokes around. Mick (Statham) and Erica (Walsh), our two assistant coaches, had a fun type of rivalry with different teams in the preseason.

I don't think we came into the game today with a chip on our shoulder about not being ranked, ... We thought we may surprise a few people because they really didn't know what was going on in Tallahassee. This is a result that will turn some heads but we have to build on it.

You're only as strong as your weakest member; you're only as positive as your most negative friend

Being single is about celebrating and appreciating your own space that you're in.

I think it's really important to know what you're putting into your body and give it nourishment.

I don't get hit on enough.

I did live over in the U.K. for a while, so I guess I'm just naturally a Brit at heart.

I can't spread myself too thin to where I have nothing left to give!

I felt like there was a void in the marketplace in girl groups. Musically, there is something truly exciting about harmonies in one song. A group has more to offer.

I remember going to Europe and one makeup artist made me look pink, then she tried to correct it but turned me green! I had to learn how to do my own makeup.

I had to work 10 times harder. People expect so much of you, because they want to see if you can strive and stand on your own.

I'll be stuntin like my daddy.

The only thing I really love is Fiji water. That's like the only crazy request - I don't like any other water.

I have to see myself naked! That’s all that counts. If I’m not happy with my naked body, who will be?

Television remains an incredible tool when it comes to ensure the best promo, but one thing was always clear to me, I didn't want reality stars; I wanted stars.

I feel like, if it's supposed to happen, then it'll happen. God will send me somebody special, whenever the timing is right, so I'm just patient.

When you make pain look this good it never wears out.

To achieve anything great in life you must be willing to make a sacrifice.
