More quotes by Alicia Keys
I definitely want to act, but I also want to score movies, and I have this idea to fuse classical music with other styles that would give it a different perception.
Alicia Keys
I love Bono. I really respect what he has done for Africa and how he has used his fame to do good in the world. I hope I can do half as much in my life.
Alicia Keys
And Im happy that Im not super skinny.
Alicia Keys
I was tired and I had overworked myself and burnt myself out. So I went to Egypt by myself. When I saw what was built there, it made me understand how powerful we are, that we can create anything. And I felt like I needed to create things that were timeless too.
Alicia Keys
Hand me the world on a silver platter, and what good would it be?
Alicia Keys
I pray before everything. When I wake up, before I eat, before I perform, before I go to sleep, in the moments I need guidance.
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
Moments are so fleeting I want to hold on to the good ones.
Alicia Keys
I promised myself that I'd never actually admit to listening to 'New Kids on the Block.'
Alicia Keys
I personally feel that acting is not totally different from singing and being a musician.
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
For me, doing a show, the excitement of singing live, and the possibility that you're not gonna be perfect - that's the thrill of it.
Alicia Keys
People don't expect me to be as funny as I am.
Alicia Keys
Living will always be a struggle looking for someone to love you.
Alicia Keys
The smaller you strip things down, the more you depend on the songs and yourself, as opposed to arrangements.
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
Soul music is timeless.
Alicia Keys
Stevie Wonder's records introduced me to '70s soul when I was 12 or 13.
Alicia Keys
I'd rather believe in my own choice and see it all go wrong than do something I'm not fully convinced of and later feel guilty about it.
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.
