More quotes by Alicia Keys
I just wanted to be who I was, which was like so many other girls I knew. We grew up in the city, had a hard edge and obstacles to overcome, but we were still young and beautiful. I didn't want to be all dressed up, all made up - I wanted to be myself, which hadn't been done before.
Alicia Keys
I don't think even when you find a person, you can be completely honest, ever. There's still pieces of you that you don't give away. I do believe you always need that place where it's just you, your thoughts, no one else's judgment or anything.
Alicia Keys
Risk the fall to know how it feels to fly.
Alicia Keys
Some people want it all But I don't want nothing at all If it ain't you baby If I ain't got you baby Some people want diamond rings Some just want everything But everything means nothing If I ain't got you, Yeah
Alicia Keys
I love Bono. I really respect what he has done for Africa and how he has used his fame to do good in the world. I hope I can do half as much in my life.
Alicia Keys
What acting does bring that music doesn't bring for me is the opportunity is the opportunity to be completely different in every way from whom you normally are, the person that you are when you wake up in the morning is who you are in your life. But to take that and have the opportunity to be the complete opposite of that, is the excitement of it.
Alicia Keys
Create the world you want, and fill it with the opportunities that matter to you.
Alicia Keys
If I can remain excited about the music that I'm giving you, then you're damn sure going to be excited about it.
Alicia Keys
Rarely, I think, do you find a relationship where you can experience things equally.
Alicia Keys
Falling down ain't falling down, If you don't cry when you hit the floor, It's called the past cause I'm getting past, And I ain't nothing like I was before, You ought to see me now
Alicia Keys
I like to do outdoorsy things: hikes, trails, running, swimming. I love the sun. I'm all about the warmth.
Alicia Keys
We're all going to change. Otherwise, it's boring. Who wants to stay the damn same all their life?
Alicia Keys
I'm a very caring person.
Alicia Keys
There was no other path for me. I knew this was my path. I had to follow it.
Alicia Keys
I'm very happy with my body.
Alicia Keys
How terrible would it have been if I had come out with some watered-down version of who I am? People fell in love with the real me, and I still feel blessed that that was how the journey began.
Alicia Keys
Be driven, be focused, but enjoy every moment, because it only happens once.
Alicia Keys
I'm definitely a nerd. I'm a cool-ass nerd, but I am definitely a nerd.
Alicia Keys
Things can be really empty in this world, and I don't just mean the music world. It can become a very meaningless place if you don't really understand: Who am I? Why am I here? What am I doing? To feel fulfillment and have a deeper level of understanding, personally, that is the most important thing.
Alicia Keys
When I was younger, studying classical music, I really had to put in the time. Three hours a day is not even nice - you have to put in six.
