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
There are certain things we come into this world having to defeat. And for me, and I would not be surprised if a lot of women feel this same way, it's this thing of not being 100 percent comfortable with myself.
Alicia Keys
Every moment is beautiful delicious even! Every moment I'm learning and living in a way I never have before. Being present in a way I never have before. Existing in moments I never have before.
Alicia Keys
You don't know what will happen from one minute to the next.
Alicia Keys
I think being really connected to a higher power, of having a spirituality to me, has been really good for me and I pray all the time.
Alicia Keys
I acted before I sang. And I did The Cosby Show, and things like that. But the music kind of came first. And it was a part of my essence. So I knew that I would evolve into this world.
Alicia Keys
Why give up before we try?
Alicia Keys
You're at your most purest, most innocent, pure state when you're doing something you've never done before. You're scared a little, you're a little vulnerable, you're kind of trying, and then you're also better, because you're trying harder than you maybe would try.
