More quotes by Alicia Keys
When I am truly present, I feel alive, and I want everyone around me to share that feeling so we can make the most of that moment together.
Alicia Keys
I don't know if we tell women great news about themselves enough. You'd be surprised how often a young woman doesn't hear positive things about herself - not in her home, not at school. It's hard to create a beautiful image for yourself when you've never seen it or heard it.
Alicia Keys
As a lyricist, you love to hear other great lyrics or other great concepts.
Alicia Keys
The element of fire to me is very powerful because of what it symbolizes, how it symbolizes a strength. It symbolizes something that's unstoppable. You can't get through it, you know.
Alicia Keys
There's too much darkness in the world. Everywhere you turn, someone is tryin' to tear someone down in some way everywhere you go, there's a feeling of inadequacy, or a feeling that you're not good enough. I want to bring a certain light to the world.
Alicia Keys
I've always been very private, maybe because I discovered my mother, who is a wonderful lady, is very emotional.
Alicia Keys
But when I first fell in love with the piano, I knew it was me. I was dying to play.
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
Simplicity makes me happy.
Alicia Keys
When I was younger, studying classical music, I really had to put in the time. Three hours a day is not even nice - you have to put in six.
Alicia Keys
In fact, I think that's my favorite word and the most important word when it comes to relationships: equality.
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
Some people want it all But I don't want nothing at all If it ain't you baby If I ain't got you baby Some people want diamond rings Some just want everything But everything means nothing If I ain't got you, Yeah
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
And I love kick boxing. It's a lot of fun. It gives you a lot of confidence when you can kick somebody in the head.
Alicia Keys
There are so many things where I realize, like, simple circumstance, like the simple choice that I made one night to not do that and to do this, one night could have changed everything.
Alicia Keys
I would hate to make music and people love me for something that isn't me.
Alicia Keys
Love is accepting people for who they are and what they are, regardless.
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
