When I was a kid I'd practise Chopin on piano - and I love Chopin! He's my dawg! Then I'd go out on the stoop and blast the radio. I'm from New York, the concrete jungle. Hip-hop influenced me from day one.

More quotes by 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
I've always been strong-minded, but I wonder.
Alicia Keys
I grew up in the middle of everything. I walked the streets alone, I rode the trains alone, I came home at three in the morning alone that was what I did.
Alicia Keys
When I really need it, talking is the best way to deal with emotional pain.
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
When I was younger, studying classical music, I really had to put in the time. Three hours a day is not even nice - you have to put in six.
Alicia Keys
Our mission goes beyond commerce, it goes beyond technology. Our intent is to preserve music's importance in our lives, music is the language of love, of laughter, of heartbreak, of mystery. It's the world's true, true, without question, universal language.
Alicia Keys
I would hate to make music and people love me for something that isn't me.
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
All of us are different. That's what makes us interesting and special. I don't want to be anything like another person. I want to be totally myself and go against the grain, forge my own path. I've learned that being different is what makes you stand out. It makes everything so much more intriguing.
Alicia Keys
I'm committed to evolving and growing and sitting at the head of my own table with no fears or limitations. But I've also learned to be more open now and more spontaneous in life.
Alicia Keys
Listening to great music and art inspires me and recharges me.
Alicia Keys
The desire to play has always been in me. I remember my first experience at about four or five of really dying to sing and dying to play that came from no one telling me to do so.
Alicia Keys
You can be very fulfilled as a mother, but that can't be the only way you are fulfilled. What about being a woman? What about being yourself? Your awareness of what's happening in the world? It lives altogether in a way that makes a whole. I guess I'd say I'm the wholest I've ever been.
Alicia Keys
Fear is not a part of my vocabulary, actually.
Alicia Keys
Everything you want to be, you already are. You're simply on the path to discovering it.
Alicia Keys
I always want to stay focused on who I am, even as I'm discovering who I am.
Alicia Keys
I don't dream - only if I'm uncomfortable or I'm going through something.
Alicia Keys
If I can remain excited about the music that I'm giving you, then you're damn sure going to be excited about it.
Alicia Keys
There are so many things where I realize, like, simple circumstance, like the simple choice that I made one night to not do that and to do this, one night could have changed everything.
