More quotes by Alicia Keys
I don't dream - only if I'm uncomfortable or I'm going through something.
Alicia Keys
I'm a very caring person.
Alicia Keys
When I did get signed and I was going around letting people know what I was about, that's exactly how I did it: me on the piano, playing a couple of songs I'd written and talking to the people in between. That's how I got my performance chops up.
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 really like to live my life in a low-key fashion.
Alicia Keys
Risk the fall to know how it feels to fly.
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
Sometimes I've gotten photographs back and people have literally shaven off pieces of me, and I tell them to put it back.
Alicia Keys
The energy of the crowd fuels something new inside. It reminds me to live in the moment.
Alicia Keys
I've always been strong-minded, but I wonder.
Alicia Keys
I feel like B sides are always better, no matter whose record it is.
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
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
My mom is definitely my rock.
Alicia Keys
Sometimes you need to start again, in order to fly
Alicia Keys
I've always expressed myself best through writing. I've gotten out all of my deepest feelings that way for as long as I can remember.
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.
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
I'm a very positive person, but this whole concept of having to always be nice, always smiling, always happy, that's not real. It was like I was wearing a mask. I was becoming this perfectly chiselled sculpture, and that was bad. That took a long time to understand.
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.
