Most times, your blessings are also your curses. And for me, I have this ability to express myself so clearly with pen and paper, but when it comes to expressing myself verbally, I put up a big wall.

More quotes by Alicia Keys
Sometimes I've gotten photographs back and people have literally shaven off pieces of me, and I tell them to put it back.
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
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
I'm a very caring person.
Alicia Keys
I feel the presence of a higher power. I believe that what you give is what you get. It's universal law. I believe in the power of prayer and of words. I've learned that when you predict that negative things will happen, they do.
Alicia Keys
I'm so grateful that I can play and that I can execute what I hear in my head, because that's the tricky part.
Alicia Keys
From the beginning, I've had to juggle and weigh the silly things people say - and I've learnt that they're meaningless, and they're mostly inaccurate. So I don't worry about it, because there's nothin' for me to deal with.
Alicia Keys
We're all going to change. Otherwise, it's boring.
Alicia Keys
It's a beautiful blessing that I get to help raise a man. And I want to show him as much as possible.
Alicia Keys
Moments are so fleeting I want to hold on to the good ones.
Alicia Keys
If I want to be alone, some place I can write, I can read, I can pray, I can cry, I can do whatever I want - I go to the bathroom.
Alicia Keys
I feel more like I'm a person who has so much to offer in different capacities that it would be a danger for me not to give myself a chance to spread my wings in all different directions.
Alicia Keys
I really like to live my life in a low-key fashion.
Alicia Keys
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.
Alicia Keys
There's too much darkness in the world. Everywhere you turn, someone is tryin' to tear someone down in some way everywhere you go, there's a feeling of inadequacy, or a feeling that you're not good enough. I want to bring a certain light to the world.
Alicia Keys
You're stronger, and you're better, and you're ready for whatever.
Alicia Keys
My mom is definitely my rock.
Alicia Keys
I always want to stay focused on who I am, even as I'm discovering who I am.
Alicia Keys
Even if your family isn't quite there for you, find the people that support you and hang on to those people and try to let go of those that try to take you down.
Alicia Keys
If I know everything around the situation, all the facts, I feel like I can handle just about anything.
