Aaliyah

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

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

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

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

“If at first you don't succeed, you can dust it off and try again.”

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

“Everything is worth it. The hard work, the times when you're tired... In the end, it's all worth it because it really makes me happy.”

“I'm the interpreter. I'm the one who takes your words and brings them to life. I'm the one who makes you feel what I'm feeling.”

“I don't think about my public image, I just think about myself.”

“In my opinion, the best thing you can do is find a person who loves you for exactly what you are. Good mood, bad mood, ugly, pretty, handsome, what have you.”

“I know that people think I'm sexy and I am looked at as a sex symbol. I'm not going to lie, I have a great body.”

“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.”

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

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

“I'm a survivor and I can handle anything. I'm very confident about that.”
