More quotes by Alicia Keys
I'm very blessed to have a phenomenal husband, son, and beautiful family and friends around me.
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
I'm a very caring person.
Alicia Keys
Maturity and experience are part of my liberation.
Alicia Keys
The smaller you strip things down, the more you depend on the songs and yourself, as opposed to arrangements.
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
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
No one will take care of you if you don't take care of yourself.
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
Here's my pet peeve: The not-so-unstated rule that all women are only to be treated as sexual objects and gawked at-you know, sitting up against a car, washing something, bending over, licking something. That just drives me crazy.
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
Some of the greatest artists did their best work when they got political.
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
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.
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
When I had nothing else, I had my mother and the piano. And you know what? They were all I needed.
Alicia Keys
At the end of the day, so many things that we hold so much value with, it just doesn't even mean anything. I really try to stay focused on being really positive.
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
Everything's gonna be alright.
Alicia Keys
Rarely, I think, do you find a relationship where you can experience things equally.
Alicia Keys
