More quotes by Alicia Keys
I have my mother who is an Irish-Italian, and my father who is African, so I have the taste buds of an Italian and the spice of an African.
Alicia Keys
My parents weren't married. It wasn't like my dad up and left. I maintained a steady relationship with my grandparents. My dad's mother is my nana, and I'm closer to her than almost anybody in this world.
Alicia Keys
I was just talking to Bono the other day, and he was like, Are you doing shows? I've just been off the road for a month-and-a-half, and he was like, You lucky girl.
Alicia Keys
Be driven, be focused, but enjoy every moment, because it only happens once.
Alicia Keys
If I can remain excited about the music that I'm giving you, then you're damn sure going to be excited about it.
Alicia Keys
I love being a mom. And I think what I love the most is the way it makes me think about what's important and what's not important. What to fight for and what to just be cool with. What it is that I'm teaching through example and what it is that I was taught that I don't want to teach.
Alicia Keys
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.
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'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 life is rich because I have those kinds of people in my life.
Alicia Keys
I've stepped more into my business and really... taken control for how I want that to be.
Alicia Keys
It's not until I hear songs that I've done, that I realize how much of an inspiration music from the '60s and '70s has been.
Alicia Keys
I grew up around the theatre. My mother is an actress. I would fall asleep on tons of theatre chairs. It's in my blood it's in my spirit and my fabric of who I am.
Alicia Keys
I can do what I want to do, lucky me. But when these people are coming at me and asking these things, they don't really care about me. And I have felt like there were all these people who just wanted to use me.
Alicia Keys
I really appreciate Frank Ocean's lyrical style, I appreciate the way that he can kind of draw you into this personal space, but it's still lyrical. It's almost poetic, in a way, but it's very personal at the same time.
Alicia Keys
When I perform in front of large audiences, I'm much more comfortable, because I've already performed in front of tiny audiences - which is much harder, honestly. The smaller you strip things down, the more you depend on the songs and yourself, as opposed to arrangements.
Alicia Keys
I feel the presence of a higher power. I believe that what you give is what you get. It's universal law. I believe in the power of prayer and of words. I've learned that when you predict that negative things will happen, they do.
Alicia Keys
How you look is your statement, because it's a claiming of yourself.
Alicia Keys
If we took the time to learn more about different places and people, perhaps we would have more empathy for each other.
Alicia Keys
There are so many things where I realize, like, simple circumstance, like the simple choice that I made one night to not do that and to do this, one night could have changed everything.
Alicia Keys
