I was so deeply involved in music, I had already outgrown all the pressure of high school cliques and gossip.

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
Image
I think there's an energy about just remaining excited. Like, you can't be excited when you're not doing something new.
Alicia Keys

I've always expressed myself best through writing. I've gotten out all of my deepest feelings that way for as long as I can remember.
Alicia Keys

When I was younger, my mother and I, we'd have these crazy, crazy fights. Everyone would storm out mad, and the only way that I'd be able to express myself was to write her. We would write letters back and forth for days. When I'm writing, I feel uninterrupted. I write what I'm going through and how I see it.
