Aaliyah (Singer)

I stay true to myself and my style, and I am always pushing myself to be aware of that and be original.

I don't feel I made any sacrifices at all. I'm doing my best to juggle.

It's really a sad story, and I liked that. The songs on this album talk about relationships in every aspect.

I don't think about my previous success. I'm happy that the work I've done has been very successful.

I'm the interpreter. I'm the one who takes your words and brings them to life. I was trained to sing and dance and laugh, and that's what I want to do.

Keep working hard and you can get anything that you want.

I think it's important to take a break, you know, from the public eye for a while, and give people a chance to miss you. I want longevity. I don't want to get out there and run myself ragged and spread myself thin.

There are times in my life when I just want to be by myself.

The Matrix is top secret. There isn't much that can be said right now.

There are times I can't even figure myself out.

I'm a total performer.

I see myself as sexy. If you are comfortable with it, it can be very classy and appealing.

You have to love what you do to want to do it everyday.

I know that people think I'm sexy and I am looked at as that. It is cool with me. It's wonderful to have sexy appeal. If you embrace it, it can be a very beautiful thing.

All I can do is leave it in God's hands and hope that my fans feel where I'm coming from.

If I don't think about it, it won't drive me crazy.

I want people to remember me as a full on entertainer and a good person.

Romeo Must Die came at the right time. It was the right vehicle for me.

It's hard to say what I want my legacy to be when I'm long gone.

There are certain things I want to keep to me. I don't discuss my private life.
