More quotes by Alicia Keys
I promised myself that I'd never actually admit to listening to 'New Kids on the Block.'
Alicia Keys
My son makes me super giddy, especially when he laughs. His laugh makes me laugh like a maniac!
Alicia Keys
I like to do outdoorsy things: hikes, trails, running, swimming. I love the sun. I'm all about the warmth.
Alicia Keys
Maturity and experience are part of my liberation.
Alicia Keys
Music is funny. I shouldn't even ever talk about music, because you can have all the ideas in your head, and it never goes exactly the way that you think it's gonna go.
Alicia Keys
Not having all the information can make me feel vulnerable.
Alicia Keys
You can be very fulfilled as a mother, but that can't be the only way you are fulfilled. What about being a woman? What about being yourself? Your awareness of what's happening in the world? It lives altogether in a way that makes a whole. I guess I'd say I'm the wholest I've ever been.
Alicia Keys
I'm a very positive person, but this whole concept of having to always be nice, always smiling, always happy, that's not real. It was like I was wearing a mask. I was becoming this perfectly chiselled sculpture, and that was bad. That took a long time to understand.
Alicia Keys
I think it's the ego in us that screws us up.
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
The element of fire to me is very powerful because of what it symbolizes, how it symbolizes a strength. It symbolizes something that's unstoppable. You can't get through it, you know.
Alicia Keys
I'm discovering my sexual side, and exploring relationships. You know, sensual stuff. And I'm discovering a lot of sides of myself, stuff I've buried. So the music is also therapeutic, to come to terms with things. And I feel now like my head is in the right space.
Alicia Keys
I grew up in a pretty tough neighborhood.
Alicia Keys
If I can remain excited about the music that I'm giving you, then you're damn sure going to be excited about it.
Alicia Keys
Love is giving of yourself in a way that is free of fear.
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
I've stepped more into my business and really... taken control for how I want that to be.
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
If we took the time to learn more about different places and people, perhaps we would have more empathy for each other.
Alicia Keys
When I had nothing else, I had my mother and the piano. And you know what? They were all I needed.
Alicia Keys
