More quotes by Alicia Keys
I think there was something about being in a tough environment that gave me a certain drive.
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
Soul music is timeless.
Alicia Keys
I grew up around the theatre. My mother is an actress. I would fall asleep on tons of theatre chairs. It's in my blood it's in my spirit and my fabric of who I am.
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
Something I've learned from people like U2, the Stones and Lenny Kravitz is that the grind of live shows is so necessary [to build your career].
Alicia Keys
All of us are different. That's what makes us interesting and special. I don't want to be anything like another person. I want to be totally myself and go against the grain, forge my own path. I've learned that being different is what makes you stand out. It makes everything so much more intriguing.
Alicia Keys
I think what happens in the world, and I think it's part human nature and part programming, is we become an emulation of what we see. We become clones of each other.
Alicia Keys
I promised myself that I'd never actually admit to listening to 'New Kids on the Block.'
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.
Alicia Keys
Fear is not a part of my vocabulary, actually.
Alicia Keys
When I perform in front of large audiences, I'm much more comfortable, because I've already performed in front of tiny audiences - which is much harder, honestly. The smaller you strip things down, the more you depend on the songs and yourself, as opposed to arrangements.
Alicia Keys
I'd rather believe in my own choice and see it all go wrong than do something I'm not fully convinced of and later feel guilty about it.
Alicia Keys
I think you are who you are, and your kids will see who you are. So you'd better be a good person, because they are going to see it, and that's going to shape them. They are going to become you.
Alicia Keys
Risk the fall to know how it feels to fly.
Alicia Keys
Why give up before we try Feel the lows before the highs Clip our wings before we fly away I can't say I came prepared I'm suspended in the air Won't you come be in the sky with me
Alicia Keys
I've seen so many lives turn around from the impossible. I have come to embrace the idea that even the simplest act of understanding, love and attention can produce the biggest results.
Alicia Keys
Prayer keeps me centered.
Alicia Keys
I'm in constant pursuit of growing and evolving.
Alicia Keys
We are all one. We're not as separate as we oftentimes think.
Alicia Keys
