More quotes by 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
For me, doing a show, the excitement of singing live, and the possibility that you're not gonna be perfect - that's the thrill of it.
Alicia Keys
You don't know what will happen from one minute to the next.
Alicia Keys
I have this vintage Harley-Davidson motorcycle jacket. When I put it on, it has this supercool feeling to it.
Alicia Keys
Music is funny. I shouldn't even ever talk about music, because you can have all the ideas in your head, and it never goes exactly the way that you think it's gonna go.
Alicia Keys
I wanted my first film to be something where I was surrounded by an amazing cast. I wanted to do something that was completely unexpected, totally out of the box, something that would blow people's minds, that the last thing on the planet earth they would ever think I would do would be it.

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
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 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
I've seen so many lives turn around from the impossible. I have come to embrace the idea that even the simplest act of understanding, love and attention can produce the biggest results.
Alicia Keys
My mixed-race background made me a broad person, able to relate to different cultures. But any woman of colour, even a mixed colour, is seen as black in America. So that's how I regard myself.
Alicia Keys
I'm very blessed to have a phenomenal husband, son, and beautiful family and friends around me.
Alicia Keys
No matter how far you are. No matter how long it takes him. Through Distance And Time I'll be waiting.
Alicia Keys
I'm discovering my sexual side, and exploring relationships. You know, sensual stuff. And I'm discovering a lot of sides of myself, stuff I've buried. So the music is also therapeutic, to come to terms with things. And I feel now like my head is in the right space.
Alicia Keys
Everybody goes through their life in different ways. I definitely am having my journey. It evolves and changes. At some moments, I feel totally off center and trying to find my way back.
Alicia Keys
Something I've learned from people like U2, the Stones and Lenny Kravitz is that the grind of live shows is so necessary [to build your career].
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 always want to stay focused on who I am, even as I'm discovering who I am.
Alicia Keys
It's a beautiful blessing that I get to help raise a man. And I want to show him as much as possible.
Alicia Keys
My mom always said, Don't date a guy who thinks he's prettier than you.
