More quotes by Alicia Keys
From the beginning, I've had to juggle and weigh the silly things people say - and I've learnt that they're meaningless, and they're mostly inaccurate. So I don't worry about it, because there's nothin' for me to deal with.
Alicia Keys
Yes I was burned but I called it a lesson learned. Mistake overturned so I call it a lesson learned. My soul has returned so I call it a lesson learned...another lesson learned
Alicia Keys
It's a beautiful blessing that I get to help raise a man. And I want to show him as much as possible.
Alicia Keys
What breaks my heart is suffering of any kind. Too often, our world is divisive and cruel where it needs to be uniting and loving.
Alicia Keys
I think what happens in the world, and I think it's part human nature and part programming, is we become an emulation of what we see. We become clones of each other.
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
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
I pray before everything. When I wake up, before I eat, before I perform, before I go to sleep, in the moments I need guidance.
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
I think it's the ego in us that screws us up.
Alicia Keys
The desire to play has always been in me. I remember my first experience at about four or five of really dying to sing and dying to play that came from no one telling me to do so.
Alicia Keys
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
I believe in the limitlessness of humans. We're capable of incredible things. At times, that realization is frightening.
Alicia Keys
If I didn't love it, I would not record it.
Alicia Keys
Some of the greatest artists did their best work when they got political.
Alicia Keys
There was no other path for me. I knew this was my path. I had to follow it.
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
Rarely, I think, do you find a relationship where you can experience things equally.
Alicia Keys
Early on in my career, I was more closed off in every way. I thought I was protecting myself instead, I was robbing myself of all I could learn and experience.
Alicia Keys
Every moment is beautiful delicious even! Every moment I'm learning and living in a way I never have before. Being present in a way I never have before. Existing in moments I never have before.
Alicia Keys
