More quotes by Alicia Keys
I grew up around the theatre. My mother is an actress. I would fall asleep on tons of theatre chairs. It's in my blood it's in my spirit and my fabric of who I am.
Alicia Keys
As a lyricist, you love to hear other great lyrics or other great concepts.
Alicia Keys
What acting does bring that music doesn't bring for me is the opportunity is the opportunity to be completely different in every way from whom you normally are, the person that you are when you wake up in the morning is who you are in your life. But to take that and have the opportunity to be the complete opposite of that, is the excitement of it.
Alicia Keys
There was no other path for me. I knew this was my path. I had to follow it.
Alicia Keys
When I did get signed and I was going around letting people know what I was about, that's exactly how I did it: me on the piano, playing a couple of songs I'd written and talking to the people in between. That's how I got my performance chops up.

Meditation has been a big change for me in a super-positive way. I see the result and strength and clarity - even my creativity is different and more connected. It might be 10 minutes a day it might be 20 minutes a day. But every day in this crazy world, it's a sense of peace and purpose.
Alicia Keys
I'm very happy with my body.
Alicia Keys
I've met many young women who are HIV positive and courageously fighting the disease. Their determination to live a full life and see their children live in a better world is deeply inspiring to me.
Alicia Keys
Fear is not a part of my vocabulary, actually, and I think that it's really made me a much smarter, braver for sure, person.
Alicia Keys
I see what happens when one gets very attached to material things. That's just not what my life is.
Alicia Keys
Things can be really empty in this world, and I don't just mean the music world. It can become a very meaningless place if you don't really understand: Who am I? Why am I here? What am I doing? To feel fulfillment and have a deeper level of understanding, personally, that is the most important thing.
Alicia Keys
He broke my heart, and now it's raining, just to rub it in.
Alicia Keys
Right now the way I define beauty is individuality and wisdom, which I think creates a certain inner confidence. And not confidence in a way that's only on the surface, but a deep-down knowing of yourself or settling into who you are.
Alicia Keys
The most important thing to remember is that you can wear all the greatest clothes and all the greatest shoes, but you’ve got to have a good spirit on the inside. That’s what’s really going to make you look like you’re ready to rock the world.
Alicia Keys
I've learned that while I'd be a fool not to stay open to the advice and experiences of the smart, amazing people in my life, I also need to listen to what I have to say.
Alicia Keys
