Good food is an amazing blessing. Whenever you can sit down at a table, eat food that is extremely delicious, and are surrounded by people you love...it's: Wow, life is good.
Alicia Keys
Only joy comes from song.

I love being a mom. And I think what I love the most is the way it makes me think about what's important and what's not important. What to fight for and what to just be cool with. What it is that I'm teaching through example and what it is that I was taught that I don't want to teach.
Alicia Keys
I'm inspired by many of my friends, colleagues, and the extraordinary people I've been fortunate enough to meet along the way.
Alicia Keys

Alicia Keys
I find myself to be truly primal and passionate. Everything I do comes from a primal place.
Alicia Keys
I look forward to my first visit to Israel. Music is a universal language that is meant to unify audiences in peace and love, and that is the spirit of our show.
Alicia Keys
You've got to love what's yours.
Alicia Keys
The smaller you strip things down, the more you depend on the songs and yourself, as opposed to arrangements.
Alicia Keys
My parents weren't married. It wasn't like my dad up and left. I maintained a steady relationship with my grandparents. My dad's mother is my nana, and I'm closer to her than almost anybody in this world.
Alicia Keys
Adam Levine and I remade the Rolling Stones' classic Wild Horses, and it is right up my alley, that whole style. It has a style of its own but still stays very true to the classic arrangement, and I love it.
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
We're all going to change. Otherwise, it's boring. Who wants to stay the damn same all their life?
