More quotes by Alicia Keys
But when I first fell in love with the piano, I knew it was me. I was dying to play.
Alicia Keys
Why give up before we try Feel the lows before the highs Clip our wings before we fly away I can't say I came prepared I'm suspended in the air Won't you come be in the sky with me
Alicia Keys
Create the world you want, and fill it with the opportunities that matter to you.
Alicia Keys
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.
Alicia Keys
If you treat me fairly, I'll give you all my goods.
Alicia Keys
Sometimes you need to start again, in order to fly
Alicia Keys
Simplicity makes me happy.
Alicia Keys
I believe AIDS is the most important issue we face, because how we treat the poor is a reflection of who we are as a people.
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
I grew up in the theater, my mother is an actress, I was always around the world of acting and theater.
Alicia Keys
I don't dream - only if I'm uncomfortable or I'm going through something.
Alicia Keys

Alicia Keys
I feel like B sides are always better, no matter whose record it is.
Alicia Keys
Yes I was burned but I called it a lesson learned. Mistake overturned so I call it a lesson learned. My soul has returned so I call it a lesson learned...another lesson learned
Alicia Keys
Hand me the world on a silver platter, and what good would it be?
Alicia Keys
We're all going to change. Otherwise, it's boring.
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
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
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 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.
