More quotes by Alicia Keys
I think conveying the emotion of the collective we is pretty incredible. Especially in tumultuous times like we are in now.
Alicia Keys
My mixed-race background made me a broad person, able to relate to different cultures. But any woman of colour, even a mixed colour, is seen as black in America. So that's how I regard myself.
Alicia Keys
I love being a mom. And I think what I love the most is the way it makes me think about what's important and what's not important. What to fight for and what to just be cool with. What it is that I'm teaching through example and what it is that I was taught that I don't want to teach.
Alicia Keys
I play Beethoven and Bach. At the same time, Biggie is my dog.
Alicia Keys
I acted before I sang. And I did The Cosby Show, and things like that. But the music kind of came first. And it was a part of my essence. So I knew that I would evolve into this world.
Alicia Keys
When I'm on stage, my interaction with the audience is something that really makes me come alive. It's a feeling like no other. The energy of the crowd fuels something new inside. It reminds me to live in the moment.

Alicia Keys
But when I first fell in love with the piano, I knew it was me. I was dying to play.
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 find myself to be truly primal and passionate. Everything I do comes from a primal place.
Alicia Keys
I like to do outdoorsy things: hikes, trails, running, swimming. I love the sun. I'm all about the warmth.
Alicia Keys
All women are NATURALLY, bad ass!
Alicia Keys
You have to identify what you care about and why you care about it. It has to be personal. It has to be something that fires you up or means something to you, or it's not going to drive you.
Alicia Keys
I just wanted to be who I was, which was like so many other girls I knew. We grew up in the city, had a hard edge and obstacles to overcome, but we were still young and beautiful. I didn't want to be all dressed up, all made up - I wanted to be myself, which hadn't been done before.
Alicia Keys
What breaks my heart is suffering of any kind.
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
I think I grew up really fast I grew up in this really fast-paced business, and I never understood what it meant to take a break or take time off or recover, and I paid for it.
Alicia Keys
I've been able to find a lot of what I've not had before: freedom, bravery, fearlessness. It's empowering to find those things.
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
Oh My God, the [hip-hop] videos! The imagery is so awful! I just can't get with it at all. The best thing I can say about it is that sometimes you have to see that kind of stuff so as to have a more balanced view about why it's so bad.
