Alicia Keys Says She Wouldn't Go Back To Her 20s 'If Someone Paid Me'

In a new interview with InStyle Alicia Keys is revealing she's much happier to be moving into her 40s and wouldn't trade this time and maturity for being a 20-year-old ever again!

As a 20-something, I have always famously said my 40s will be my prime, and I'm glad to know I was right about that! Alicia Keys is a woman of TRUTH!

"I swear, I wouldn’t go back to being 20 if somebody paid me—it was literally the worst time ever," Alicia remarked.

This comment was made despite the release of her debut album "Songs In A Minor" which was released when she was 20.

The album, of course, launched her career and her gave her worldwide recognition.

She continued: “I wanted to fit in so desperately. I was so blind, so dependent on everybody else’s opinions, so uncomfortable, so unclear."

"You know, we do a really good job of judging each other and assuming who people are when we don’t even know them."

"To me, the most important thing we can do right now is take a second to see and appreciate each other as we are." I love that!

There's no denying our twenties are filled with unknowns, so I don't blame the songstress for never wanting to go back to those days!
