More quotes by Alicia Keys

Image
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
Image
I grew up in a pretty tough neighborhood. I grew up around drugs, alcohol, prostitution, I grew up around everything, and I think part of seeing that from really young has made me really steer very far away from it in all of its forms.
Alicia Keys
Image
I'm committed to evolving and growing and sitting at the head of my own table with no fears or limitations. But I've also learned to be more open now and more spontaneous in life.
Alicia Keys
Image
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.

Image
My mom is definitely my rock.
Alicia Keys
Image
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.

There are certain things we come into this world having to defeat. And for me, and I would not be surprised if a lot of women feel this same way, it's this thing of not being 100 percent comfortable with myself.
Alicia Keys
Image
How far you go depends on what you want for yourself, how much you're willing to leave on the floor, and how much you wanna face the fears you have inside of you. It's everything we're all dealing with every day.
Alicia Keys
Image
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.

Image
I don't worry cause, everything's gonna be alright.
Alicia Keys
Image
I just wanted to be who I was, which was like so many other girls I knew. We grew up in the city, had a hard edge and obstacles to overcome, but we were still young and beautiful. I didn't want to be all dressed up, all made up - I wanted to be myself, which hadn't been done before.

Image
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
Image
If we took the time to learn more about different places and people, perhaps we would have more empathy for each other.
Alicia Keys
Image
Everything's gonna be alright.
Alicia Keys
Image
I love the written word so much, I know it's gonna flow naturally.
Alicia Keys
Image
If you treat me fairly, I'll give you all my goods.

I lived with my mom in a really small apartment. My bedroom was like in the living room. That's why I still love to sleep on couches now.
