More quotes by 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
We are all one. We're not as separate as we oftentimes think.
Alicia Keys
I have my mother who is an Irish-Italian, and my father who is African, so I have the taste buds of an Italian and the spice of an African.
Alicia Keys
I think there was something about being in a tough environment that gave me a certain drive.
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.

You are what you listen to

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
Love will come find you, just to remind you of who you are.
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.
Alicia Keys
If I didn't love it, I would not record it.
Alicia Keys
I believe if you can find something to give back to, your soul will feel fulfilled in a very powerful way.
Alicia Keys
I love the written word so much, I know it's gonna flow naturally.
Alicia Keys
My mother was raised very, very strict Catholic in the Midwest. There was so much fear and intimidation [in the faith]. So, growing up, I was always looking for my connection. I've found myself praying before meals, before bed there's always been this gratitude for things that are bigger than me.
Alicia Keys
I've always been very private, maybe because I discovered my mother, who is a wonderful lady, is very emotional.
Alicia Keys
Musicians used to be way more instrumental just in providing a soundtrack to what's going on in the world. And it's also important to state what we think. There's like this fear for their career, if they have anything intelligent to say about politics. And that's really messed up.
Alicia Keys
Hand me the world on a silver platter, and what good would it be?
Alicia Keys
The desire to play has always been in me. I remember my first experience at about four or five of really dying to sing and dying to play that came from no one telling me to do so.
