Oprah Tells Alicia Keys: Don’t Ever Talk About Your Love Life!

by Lara on January 2nd, 2008

Alicia Keys bubble gumAlicia Keys apparently has always been more of a private person, in public and in her personal relationships. She said that she even hides her true self when she’s in a relationship until that person shows her his true self. She claims to have become a master at “putting up walls” and burying her feelings, including depression.

A little secrecy can be a good thing in guarding one’s love life, says Alicia Keys – but not such a good thing when it comes to dealing with depression.

Asked by Giant magazine about a rumored romance with her producer, the singer replies, “That’s what they’ve been saying for a while now, but I don’t usually address that question. Oprah told me never to tell – and I can’t disobey Oprah!”

Keys, 26, has been getting that a lot lately. On Tuesday, Uma Thurman offered similar advice to Keys when a personal question slipped through at a press conference for the Nobel Peace Prize concert.

I personally kind of find the whole ability of someone to keep their emotions bottled up pretty amazing. Not in a good way, no. But I’ve just never been the kind of person to keep my feelings inside. Matter of fact, if I’m angry with someone, all I need to do is get it out and get through it. I don’t hold many grudges at all, and I tend to get over negative stuff pretty easily as long as it doesn’t keep happening.

Sometimes I wish I could try to keep my heart closed at times. I think it might prevent a lot of hurt later on maybe. But then again, I think of that old saying, “‘Tis better to have loved and lost, than to never have loved at all.”

I’d rather be miserable than numb. Ya know?
