More quotes by Alicia Keys
Still when I'm a mess I still put on a vest With an 'S' on my chest Oh yes, I'm a Superwoman
Alicia Keys
When I first started getting into the business, a young woman in a music game that was mostly men, I did feel inadequate.
Alicia Keys
Why give up before we try?
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
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
Oh My God, the [hip-hop] videos! The imagery is so awful! I just can't get with it at all. The best thing I can say about it is that sometimes you have to see that kind of stuff so as to have a more balanced view about why it's so bad.
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
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
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
Quiet moments recharge me.
Alicia Keys
Here's my pet peeve: The not-so-unstated rule that all women are only to be treated as sexual objects and gawked at-you know, sitting up against a car, washing something, bending over, licking something. That just drives me crazy.
Alicia Keys
I believe in the limitlessness of humans. We're capable of incredible things. At times, that realization is frightening.
Alicia Keys
To be able to help a 13-year-old kid from the Bronx follow her dreams just by letting her know she's not forgotten in this crazy world - that's why I got involved with Frum Tha Ground Up.
Alicia Keys
If I didn't love it, I would not record it.
Alicia Keys
But when I first fell in love with the piano, I knew it was me. I was dying to play.
Alicia Keys
Mozart would play a counterpart with his left hand while using his right to mock it. It was blue, dark, shadowy - and it made me feel something. That's when I realized music was inside me.
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.
Alicia Keys
When I was a kid I'd practise Chopin on piano - and I love Chopin! He's my dawg! Then I'd go out on the stoop and blast the radio. I'm from New York, the concrete jungle. Hip-hop influenced me from day one.

We're all going to change. Otherwise, it's boring.
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.
