I think conveying the emotion of the collective we is pretty incredible. Especially in tumultuous times like we are in now.

When I was younger, my mother and I, we'd have these crazy, crazy fights. Everyone would storm out mad, and the only way that I'd be able to express myself was to write her. We would write letters back and forth for days. When I'm writing, I feel uninterrupted. I write what I'm going through and how I see it.

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.

You have to identify what you care about and why you care about it. It has to be personal. It has to be something that fires you up or means something to you, or it's not going to drive you.

My life is rich because I have those kinds of people in my life.
Alicia Keys
Image
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.

I have solid decent people around me, and I believe that is all it is, because you will get destroyed if you have people bringing you down.

When I had nothing else, I had my mother and the piano. And you know what? They were all I needed.

Failure isn't an option. I've erased the word fear from my vocabulary and I think when you erase fear you can't fail.
