Alicia Keys

Soul music is timeless. ”

Not because I'm trying to be fabulous, but I love those big crazy Jackie O shades. ”

If I didn't love it, I would not record it. ”

I would hate to make music and people love me for something that isn't me. ”

I love the written word so much, I know it's gonna flow naturally. ”

I love my own music. ”

But when I first fell in love with the piano, I knew it was me. I was dying to play. ”

You've got to love what's yours. ”

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. ”

Maturity and experience are part of my liberation. ”
