Alicia Keys
Your life can become the background for the art you create.
Alicia Keys
A lot of people, they've been saying to me, oh don't get married. It ruins everything. And I'm like, damn.
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
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'd rather believe in my own choice and see it all go wrong than do something I'm not fully convinced of and later feel guilty about it.
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
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
Maturity and experience are part of my liberation.
Alicia Keys
Once people see this 'Unplugged,' I just want them to feel the spontaneity, to feel passionate... I want you to see another side of me, that's free, and feel where my head is, where whatever happens, happens. I want you to feel inspired.
Alicia Keys
A Minor is one of my all-time favorite keys to play in. It's a very moody key, and also 'A' is the first letter of my name. It just represents the songs through my eyes.
Alicia Keys
Hand me the world on a silver platter, and what good would it be?
Alicia Keys
I believe AIDS is the most important issue we face, because how we treat the poor is a reflection of who we are as a people.
Alicia Keys
I've learned that while I'd be a fool not to stay open to the advice and experiences of the smart, amazing people in my life, I also need to listen to what I have to say.
Alicia Keys
I think there was something about being in a tough environment that gave me a certain drive.
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
You could have all the riches in the world, but it doesn't mean much without family.
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
When I was younger, my mother and I, we'd have these crazy, crazy fights. Everyone would storm out mad, and the only way that I'd be able to express myself was to write her. We would write letters back and forth for days. When I'm writing, I feel uninterrupted. I write what I'm going through and how I see it.
Alicia Keys
The climate of today is not really focused as much as it was then on being able to speak about different cultural issues or different situations that were going on politically.
