At first, I was a little nervous with snakes, but once I started to handle them, I totally fell in love and felt an affinity toward them. They're very mysterious creatures. They live in solitude.

In film, you are a totally different person than in the video.

Music is for everyone to interpret in their own way. You may hear a song and feel one way about it, and I feel another.

My character's name is Zee. She's a funky girl very much in love with her boyfriend. It is cool to be a part of such an amazing film. It's like the Star Wars of our time.

My favorite song is I Care 4 U. I listened to it right when I finished One in a Million. It's a timeless, classic song.

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

Romeo Must Die happened, so I had to do that film and then do the soundtrack, then promote it.

There's a sweetness to it. My singing style is very soft, my signature is falsetto, with a breathy tone.
Quotation of Aaliyah

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.
