Sometimes I've gotten photographs back and people have literally shaven off pieces of me, and I tell them to put it back.

How terrible would it have been if I had come out with some watered-down version of who I am? People fell in love with the real me, and I still feel blessed that that was how the journey began.
Alicia Keys
Image
My music comes from many, many, many places. My emotions, my feelings, my thoughts, and conversations I have with people I know who influence me.

I don't know if we tell women great news about themselves enough. You'd be surprised how often a young woman doesn't hear positive things about herself - not in her home, not at school. It's hard to create a beautiful image for yourself when you've never seen it or heard it.

The climate of today is not really focused as much as it was then on being able to speak about different cultural issues or different situations that were going on politically.
Alicia Keys

If I know everything around the situation, all the facts, I feel like I can handle just about anything.

It's karma, baby. And it goes around.

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.

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.

I'm inspired by many of my friends, colleagues, and the extraordinary people I've been fortunate enough to meet along the way.

When I first started getting into the business, a young woman in a music game that was mostly men, I did feel inadequate.
Alicia Keys
Image
I don't know if I'd go with an alien to space. I would have to feel the alien's vibe. I'm a vibe person.
Alicia Keys
Image
I don't have a ton of friends, but the friends I have are great ones. I don't have huge family, but the family I have is a great one.
Alicia Keys
Image
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
Image
I grew up in a pretty tough neighborhood. I grew up around drugs, alcohol, prostitution, I grew up around everything, and I think part of seeing that from really young has made me really steer very far away from it in all of its forms.

Image
I realize that I want something more. Success is great, but then you also wake up in your hotel room at four in the morning and you're like, wouldn't it be nice to have someone here with me.

As a lyricist, you love to hear other great lyrics or other great concepts.

I'm very happy with my body.
Alicia Keys
Image
I feel like the majority of the fear that I had or that we have we hold from other people. They're like people that we trust they're their fears. All of a sudden we think that they're our fears.

Once people see this 'Unplugged,' I just want them to feel the spontaneity, to feel passionate... I want you to see another side of me, that's free, and feel where my head is, where whatever happens, happens. I want you to feel inspired.

I'm having an unbelievable time on the road. I am taking the time to explore each new city in a way I never have before.
