"It's not easy. I'm not going to say it's all fun and games but when you love something from the depths of your soul, you truly do enjoy every aspect of that life. I really love my life. I have good friends, good family. I wake up everyday and I work - doing something I love. There's nothing better than that. I truly am happy, I cannot complain at all that would totally be ungrateful."

- Aaliyah, 2001.
