More quotes by Alicia Keys
I don't worry cause, everything's gonna be alright.
Alicia Keys
Only joy comes from song.
Alicia Keys
My mother was raised very, very strict Catholic in the Midwest. There was so much fear and intimidation [in the faith]. So, growing up, I was always looking for my connection. I've found myself praying before meals, before bed there's always been this gratitude for things that are bigger than me.
Alicia Keys
The smaller you strip things down, the more you depend on the songs and yourself, as opposed to arrangements.
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
How terrible would it have been if I had come out with some watered-down version of who I am? People fell in love with the real me, and I still feel blessed that that was how the journey began.
Alicia Keys
I love children and I love family and I love that interaction. Because I had a really close relationship with my mother, I understand that deep powerful love, and it's so beautiful. To be a mother to a child is the most brilliant gift it's gorgeous.
Alicia Keys
I believe in the limitlessness of humans. We're capable of incredible things. At times, that realization is frightening.
Alicia Keys
Most times, your blessings are also your curses. And for me, I have this ability to express myself so clearly with pen and paper, but when it comes to expressing myself verbally, I put up a big wall.
Alicia Keys
I'd rather not have anything than be a liar.
Alicia Keys
I'm in constant pursuit of growing and evolving.
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.
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
If I want to be alone, some place I can write, I can read, I can pray, I can cry, I can do whatever I want - I go to the bathroom.
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
In fact, I think that's my favorite word and the most important word when it comes to relationships: equality.
Alicia Keys
There is this fallacy about how women are catty, that we're all in competition with each other. I'd say: As opposed to getting swept up in jealousy, use that pang to give you an indication of what you are looking for.
Alicia Keys
You can't really compare people. That's one of the biggest lessons I've learned, because comparing yourself to someone else really stops you from being who you are.
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've stepped more into my business and really... taken control for how I want that to be.
