QUOTES
Aaliyah On The weirdest thing a fan ever asked her:
"I did an in-store the other day in Texas, and this kid came up to me and had my name painted all over his body, his pants, his bandana. He came up and asked for a kiss, so I gave it to him, and he fainted!" _Time INC 2001
Aaliyah On New York:
“I love the vibe in New York, the fast pace – everyone’s independent, everyone seems to be a go-getter. I like the fact it’s a melting pot – everyone lives here; all different types of people, different races. And it’s an interesting place. I really enjoy it. You can find something to do at any time of the day or night.” _Star Magazine 2001
Aaliyah On Her Free Time:
“I’ll wake up at about 11am. If it’s a beautiful day, I’ll take a walk in Central Park, meet some friends and do a bit of shopping. Then we’ll do something fun in the evening – everyone will get together and go bowling or something like that. Then it’s back to mine or one of my friends’ houses to relax and eat. I don’t go out much, but when I’m in the mood, there are a couple of clubs I like. I enjoy fun things like laser tag or going to the movies – regular stuff really” _Star Magazine 2001
Aaliyah On Harry Potter:
“I thought, what is this Harry Potter thing, y’know – they’re making a movie about it, but I don’t have a clue what it is. Because it’s a kids book I was thinking “is this for me?” but it’s brilliant.” _Star Magazine 2001
Aaliyah On an argument with a friend:
”I fell out with my best friend once. She was older than me by one grade and she was getting teased because I was younger than her. And for a while she ignored me and then we had a huge argument about it. But that’s what happens with friends, and if you argue and then come back together that means you have a true friendship.” _Cosmo Girl 2002
Aaliyah On a small fight with a boy at school:
”I wouldn’t say I was perfect because I wasn’t. The worst trouble I ever got into was at elementary school. This boy and I got into a … well I wont say fight because we didn’t beat each other up, but it got a little physical. He pushed me down the stairs and I pushed him back – he was being mean to me! We got into big trouble and I got a detention. I was devastated! I’d never gotten a detention before, I was a good student! ” _Cosmo Girl 2002
Aaliyah On an awkward, geeky phase:
”There was a point in my life when I was in fifth grade and I had pimples mainly on my forehead because I wore my hair on my face, that weren’t cute. I also got teased because I was small. Before I hit 15, when I kinda came into my own, my legs were a little skinny. Everybody goes through that self-conscious stage at some point. You eventually come into your own. I grew to love being petite. ” _Cosmo Girl 2002
Aaliyah On Getting Teased In School:
”It didn’t affect my confidence because of my mom. When I got teased I would tell her and she’d be like “look you’re a beautiful girl, you’re small but be happy because you’re small.” _Cosmo Girl 2002
Aaliyah On Haters School:
”You always have to deal with people who are jealous, but there were so few it didn’t even matter. The majority of kids supported me, which was wonderful. When it comes to dealing with negative people, I just let it in one ear and out the other. Those people were invisible to me. When anybody wants to talk about you or spread rumours, my advice is just don’t address it. Don’t dignify them with an answer.” _Cosmo Girl 2002
Aaliyah On Her Spectacular Fashion Disasters:
”When I was 16 I wore nothing but baggy clothes. I didn’t want to wear anything feminine or girly. One time I had on this big jeans outfit – big long baggy shorts that d**n near hit my ankles and a big jeans shirt – and I looked at myself in the mirror and thought, “I look like a giant 9 year old!” I really did look like a huge kid! It looked bad and I thought, “it's time for me to start growing up. Baggy clothes are great but I need to add a bit of femininity to it” _Cosmo Girl 2002
Aaliyah On Her Dream Collaborators:
''I'd jump at the chance to sing with Sade. And I'd love to work with Morgan Freeman and Gwyneth Paltrow.'' _Entertainment Weekly 2001
Aaliyah On who she would like to collaborate with:
"I'll always work with Tim and Missy. I'd love to work with D'Angelo." The editor asked "Have you been a longtime fan of his?" and Aaliyah said "Mm-hmm, since the first album." _Entertainment Weekly 2001
Aaliyah On Her Personal favorite songs on the album:
"Aaliyah": "‘More Than a Woman,’ which is the second single; ‘I Can Be,’ because we played ‘Come Together’ on that; ‘I Care For You’ -- those are my favorites." _Time INC 2001
Aaliyah On the snakes in her video "W.N.A.R":
"I worked with them for the photo shoot for the album. The photographer thought we should do that -- he thought it'd be sexy. I was nervous, but once I worked with them, I liked them. They're not mine! " _Time INC 2001
Aaliyah On most ridiculous rumor you've ever heard about herself:
"That I have a glass eye. That's my favorite. It's because I wore sunglasses when I came out, and I wear my hair over my left eye. It came out of nowhere that I had a fake eye" _Time INC 2001
Aaliyah On her favorite Boy band:
"*NSYNC. I just like them. I think they're hot! Justin has so much soul, and they make really good music." _Time INC 2001
