Alicia about her idols:
> If you could pick one Steve Wonder song to redo which one would it be?
I know exactly which song it is. It's a song he did called "They Won't Go
When I Go." He's talking about all the people that do wrong or do him wrong,
do the world wrong or just do wrong period. In the end, they won't end [up] where
he's gonna be.
> My favorite Biggie song is "Me & My Bitch". Honestly. You know
what I love about that song. I just love how it shows that the realist loyalty
is right there for you. Biggie Smalls was a real big influence on me.
> Do you see yourself working with any particular MCs in the future? 'I would
definitely like to do a joint with Nas. I respect him truly'.
> Prince is not scary to be his own person. I admire that about him.
> Ludwig Van Beethowen: "He has these songs that are so deep and have
so much passion you say, 'What was he possibly thinking?'" Keys has also
declared, "Chopin is my dawg."
