Alicia Keys
My music comes from many, many, many places. My emotions, my feelings, my thoughts, and conversations I have with people I know who influence me.
Alicia Keys
I feel like the majority of the fear that I had or that we have we hold from other people. They're like people that we trust they're their fears. All of a sudden we think that they're our fears.

Alicia Keys
I've always valued the input of the people I love. So in the past, whenever I'd make a decision - what to wear to an event, whether to pursue a job opportunity - I'd consult those closest to me, like my mother, husband, or manager.
Alicia Keys
The energy of the crowd fuels something new inside. It reminds me to live in the moment.
Alicia Keys
Be driven, be focused, but enjoy every moment, because it only happens once.
Alicia Keys
It's important for everyone - working moms especially - to find moments to ground themselves and connect with their own breath.
Alicia Keys
What breaks my heart is suffering of any kind.
Alicia Keys
I don't have a ton of friends, but the friends I have are great ones. I don't have huge family, but the family I have is a great one.
