More quotes by Alicia Keys
What breaks my heart is suffering of any kind.
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
There's too much darkness in the world. Everywhere you turn, someone is tryin' to tear someone down in some way everywhere you go, there's a feeling of inadequacy, or a feeling that you're not good enough. I want to bring a certain light to the world.
Alicia Keys
The smaller you strip things down, the more you depend on the songs and yourself, as opposed to arrangements.
Alicia Keys
Gangsta rap was a ploy to convince black people to kill each other. Gangsta rap didnt exist.

I find that the love we share fills me up and makes me see and appreciate life in a different way.
Alicia Keys
You're stronger, and you're better, and you're ready for whatever.
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
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
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

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
We're all going to change. Otherwise, it's boring.
Alicia Keys
The most important thing is to be proud of the work that you put into something, and put the ego aside.
Alicia Keys
Everybody goes through their life in different ways. I definitely am having my journey. It evolves and changes. At some moments, I feel totally off center and trying to find my way back.
Alicia Keys
I'm committed to evolving and growing and sitting at the head of my own table with no fears or limitations. But I've also learned to be more open now and more spontaneous in life.
Alicia Keys
I love children and I love family and I love that interaction. Because I had a really close relationship with my mother, I understand that deep powerful love, and it's so beautiful. To be a mother to a child is the most brilliant gift it's gorgeous.
Alicia Keys
The energy of the crowd fuels something new inside. It reminds me to live in the moment.
Alicia Keys
When I first started getting into the business, a young woman in a music game that was mostly men, I did feel inadequate.
Alicia Keys
Writing in my journal keeps me focused on my spirit and what I need or feel.
