Keys discusses her career and album, Girl on Fire, in this interview for PBS.
Well, I personally, this whole project, this whole time in my life, this whole album really represents a really important time for me, where I’ve actually – it’s funny you bring up that word – where I’ve actually been in the process of removing fear from my vocabulary, from my essence.

Unlocking Alicia interview
Keys is interviewed by Complex.com:
My dream is to be that good someday and she’s still as focused as ever. I’m competitive with myself in the sense that I want to get better,” she says now.

I want to be my best.
O Magazine interview
Keys speaks about why she left Columbia Records in an interview for O Magazine.
Once I saw that these people were completely disrespecting my musical creativity. I was devastated and crushed, like a blooming flower that’s trampled on. Nothing hurts more. I’m fortunate that my manager was confident. Some of our incredible legends will die with nothing. They were jerked.
