More quotes by Alicia Keys
I don't know if I'd go with an alien to space. I would have to feel the alien's vibe. I'm a vibe person.
Alicia Keys
Quiet moments recharge me.
Alicia Keys
Maturity and experience are part of my liberation.
Alicia Keys
I'm in constant pursuit of growing and evolving.
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
No one will take care of you if you don't take care of yourself.
Alicia Keys
Living will always be a struggle looking for someone to love you.
Alicia Keys
I grew up in a pretty tough neighborhood. I grew up around drugs, alcohol, prostitution, I grew up around everything, and I think part of seeing that from really young has made me really steer very far away from it in all of its forms.
Alicia Keys
Right now the way I define beauty is individuality and wisdom, which I think creates a certain inner confidence. And not confidence in a way that's only on the surface, but a deep-down knowing of yourself or settling into who you are.
Alicia Keys
Fear is not a part of my vocabulary, actually.
Alicia Keys
I can do what I want to do, lucky me. But when these people are coming at me and asking these things, they don't really care about me. And I have felt like there were all these people who just wanted to use me.
Alicia Keys
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.
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
There is this fallacy about how women are catty, that we're all in competition with each other. I'd say: As opposed to getting swept up in jealousy, use that pang to give you an indication of what you are looking for.
Alicia Keys
I believe in the limitlessness of humans. We're capable of incredible things. At times, that realization is frightening.
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
You can be very fulfilled as a mother, but that can't be the only way you are fulfilled. What about being a woman? What about being yourself? Your awareness of what's happening in the world? It lives altogether in a way that makes a whole. I guess I'd say I'm the wholest I've ever been.
Alicia Keys
Everything you want to be, you already are. You're simply on the path to discovering it.
Alicia Keys
I've always expressed myself best through writing. I've gotten out all of my deepest feelings that way for as long as I can remember.
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.
