More quotes by Alicia Keys
Quiet moments recharge me.
Alicia Keys
I pray before everything. When I wake up, before I eat, before I perform, before I go to sleep, in the moments I need guidance.
Alicia Keys
I'm discovering my sexual side, and exploring relationships. You know, sensual stuff. And I'm discovering a lot of sides of myself, stuff I've buried. So the music is also therapeutic, to come to terms with things. And I feel now like my head is in the right space.
Alicia Keys
It's when we become afraid of everything and worried about everything that you are never going to reach your highest potential.
Alicia Keys
I think following my instinct has proven to lead me in the right direction, and it's hard to hear sometimes, because it's a noisy world and there's a lot of people talking to you.
Alicia Keys
How far you go depends on what you want for yourself, how much you're willing to leave on the floor, and how much you wanna face the fears you have inside of you. It's everything we're all dealing with every day.
Alicia Keys
I definitely want to act, but I also want to score movies, and I have this idea to fuse classical music with other styles that would give it a different perception.
Alicia Keys
I acted before I sang. And I did The Cosby Show, and things like that. But the music kind of came first. And it was a part of my essence. So I knew that I would evolve into this world.
Alicia Keys
I want to continue to produce film, television, and theater, and to make the most amazing music that I've made in my life.
Alicia Keys
Meditation has been a big change for me in a super-positive way. I see the result and strength and clarity - even my creativity is different and more connected. It might be 10 minutes a day it might be 20 minutes a day. But every day in this crazy world, it's a sense of peace and purpose.
Alicia Keys
The desire to play has always been in me. I remember my first experience at about four or five of really dying to sing and dying to play that came from no one telling me to do so.
Alicia Keys
I believe AIDS is the most important issue we face, because how we treat the poor is a reflection of who we are as a people.
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
I think being really connected to a higher power, of having a spirituality to me, has been really good for me and I pray all the time.
Alicia Keys
Wait, I'm deciding to be my own individual self. And it looks nothing like what anyone else is doing.
Alicia Keys
You've got to love what's yours.
Alicia Keys
Not because I'm trying to be fabulous, but I love those big crazy Jackie O shades.
Alicia Keys
I'm in constant pursuit of growing and evolving.
Alicia Keys
Here's my pet peeve: The not-so-unstated rule that all women are only to be treated as sexual objects and gawked at-you know, sitting up against a car, washing something, bending over, licking something. That just drives me crazy.
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.
