I've done a lot of different tours. For me, I try to go on tours that I think are gonna be fun. It's, like, grueling, and it's hard, and there's got to be an element to it that's exciting. Kelis elementexcitfun Change image and share on social
As a child, I'd help my mum cook, and it was ridiculous - she had the correct gadget or utensil for everything. 'Stop! Don't use that, I have exactly the right utensil.' After I left home, I survived on cup-a-meals and never saw myself as being like her. Now I've become her. Kelis childcookcorrect share on social
I needed a break, and going to culinary school turned a lightbulb on that I didn't have to make music. The people in the music business forget that not only is there an entire world of people out there who do not care what we do, we are not creating the wheel. Kelis breakbusinesscare share on social

As a black artist in America, you know, it is so segregated as far as the radio goes and how they position music on the radio. Kelis americaartistblack Change image and share on social
For me, saying 'I'm bossy' is a cute, tongue-in-cheek way of saying that I'm in control of my life. Kelis bossycheekcontrol Change image and share on social
Everyone's attention span is getting shorter. As a result, everything - films, music, art - gets watered down and dumber. Every now and again, you get something great, but not often. Kelis artattentiondumb Change image and share on social
There's a point where you think, 'What else will I do if I don't do music?' It becomes your identity when it never should have been. But food ignited a fire in me, and I came right back to music because it no longer felt like a job. It was a really powerful thing for me. Kelis backfeltfire share on social
Everything I do has a certain quality, a certain flair, a certain flavor. I like to eat the way I like to dress, the way I listen to music: put it all together, and it's a great party. Kelis dresseatflair Change image and share on social
