When a fan comes up to you and says I love your music, there’s nothing better than that.
AALIYAHWhen a fan comes up to you and says I love your music, there’s nothing better than that.
AALIYAHI go through the same problems all young people go through. Being in this business, I accept that there are positives and negatives but having a strong family base and a belief in God enables me to weather the storms.
AALIYAHKeep 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!
AALIYAHAll I can do is leave it in God’s hands and hope that my fans feel where I’m coming from.
AALIYAHI don’t want to abandon one work for the other, and I don’t think I need to sacrifice anything to put my all into either one of them.
AALIYAHMy parents just tell me, ‘If you know what you want, you should stay determined and go for it. You can do anything.’
AALIYAHI’m a survivor and I can handle anything. I’m very confident about that.
AALIYAHIt’s in how you carry yourself. I’ve always been a very mature person, and I’ve always known what I wanted. And I go after it no matter what.
AALIYAHThere is a bit of acting involved when you get in front of a camera for a video. Even when you perform onstage, you’re putting on a show.
AALIYAHIn film, you are a totally different person than in the video.
AALIYAHThere are times I can’t even figure myself out.
AALIYAHEverything is worth it. The hard work, the times when you’re tired, the times where you’re a bit sad… In the end, it’s all worth it because it really makes me happy. There’s nothing better than loving what you do.
AALIYAHI began to work the stage and get the audience into it. I also learned how to have fun out there. It is something I will never forget.
AALIYAHI 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.
AALIYAHYou have to love what you do to want to do it everyday.
AALIYAHIf at first you don’t succeed. You can dust it off and try again. Dust yourself off and try again.
