Aaliyah Said 

"Keep working hard and you can get anything that you want. If God gave you the talent, you should go for it. But don't think it's going to be easy. It's hard!"

"I've always been mysterious. There are times when I don't understand myself...I think I'm a bit of a vampire in real life, and there are times when I just want to be myself."

"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."

"Well, I think that the image is a part of me. I wear the baggy pants , the hats, the whole nine. And you know, I may add a little for the excitement and the intrigue in the videos, but my family has told me that little air of mystery that surrounds me is for real."

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

"Always be true to yourself."

"'Pasted and gone, you must learn to move on, show your role mole that you can do it, rain today, shine tomorrow.'"

"'It hurt but you pick yourself up and move on like nothing happened."

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

"Dust yourself off and try again."

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