What breaks my heart is suffering of any kind.
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 I grew up really fast I grew up in this really fast-paced business, and I never understood what it meant to take a break or take time off or recover, and I paid for it.
Alicia Keys
Love is giving of yourself in a way that is free of fear.
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
