More quotes by Alicia Keys
There are certain things we come into this world having to defeat. And for me, and I would not be surprised if a lot of women feel this same way, it's this thing of not being 100 percent comfortable with myself.
Alicia Keys
My mom always said, Don't date a guy who thinks he's prettier than you.
Alicia Keys
You just can't take a day for granted. We had to work really hard for anything, and so that's been instilled in me. And I don't look at myself as better than anybody else, because in an instant everything can change.
Alicia Keys
I lived with my mom in a really small apartment. My bedroom was like in the living room. That's why I still love to sleep on couches now.
Alicia Keys

Alicia Keys
It's karma, baby. And it goes around.
Alicia Keys
Things can be really empty in this world, and I don't just mean the music world. It can become a very meaningless place if you don't really understand: Who am I? Why am I here? What am I doing? To feel fulfillment and have a deeper level of understanding, personally, that is the most important thing.
Alicia Keys
Love me like you'll never see me again.
Alicia Keys
Only joy comes from song.
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
When I was first learning songs, I'd have a favorite song, and I'd take the chords and twist them around. I'd learn the chords and then play them backward. That was my first experimenting with writing a song.
Alicia Keys
A Minor is one of my all-time favorite keys to play in. It's a very moody key, and also 'A' is the first letter of my name. It just represents the songs through my eyes.
Alicia Keys
Not having all the information can make me feel vulnerable.
Alicia Keys
The last thing I want is to walk into my house after a long day and see all the Grammys and awards. It would make me feel weird.
