❦︎ - 2001, Mtv interview
Aaliyah and daphne were sitting by a table with buckets filled with small sheets of paper.
"And we're rolling......."
Aaliyah picked out a small paper, daphne doing the same thing, unfolding it.
"What's your childhood nickname and why that name", read aaliyah.
Aaliyah set the paper aside.
"I have a few childhood nicknames", said aaliyah.
"I only have one, I preferred to be called one, I was often called diamond or the diamond, my mother first called me that, my parents say I was a shine in their life, they are happy to have me", said daphne.
Aaliyah smiled and looked at daphne.
"That's adorable", said aaliyah.
Daphne laughed a little.
"One is baby girl, my father gave that to me when I was born, he said I have a beautiful baby girl, a lot of people still call me baby girl, um, lili is another one, that was also family nickname, short for aaliyah, few of my friends call me lili", said aaliyah.
"I call you liyah", said daphne while her fist was resting on her chin.
"Yeah", said aaliyah with a smile.

Aaliyah picked out a paper and unfolded it, daphne doing the same thing.
"What do you do to relax", read aaliyah and put the paper aside.
"I love baths, absolutely love baths, I like to just try a nice warm bath with bubbles, um....get a few sweets, maybe put them by the bath, put on really good music and chill, um if I'm not gonna take a bath to relax me, I'll just get a really good book, right now I'm totally obsessed with harry potter, I love Harry Potter and the second book", said aaliyah with a laugh.
"Uh.....Idon't know what I do to relax, I guess I like to.....", said daphne.
"It's been four seconds", said aaliyah.
Daphne and aaliyah started laughing.
"I actually like cooking, it relaxes me", said daphne and shrug.
"It's not relaxing anymore when you get burned", said aaliyah.
Daphne and aaliyah laughed.

Daphne picked out a paper and unfolded it like aaliyah.
"What are your inspirations", read daphne.
Daphne looked up for a second.
"I would say.....my dad, aretha franklin, donna summer, cyndi lauper, and the ronettes", said daphne.
"Louis Taylor, um, I was shooting the try again video, my makeup artist had a mix tape, andI heard bittersweet on the mix tape, and I was like oh my god who is that, that song, it's perfect from top to bottom, and um I searched and searched for a good year, trying to find out who it was, and when I was in australia, someone working on a film, had a cd, Iwas like please I'm succeeding to see who it is", said aaliyah.
"She got on her knees", said daphne.
"No I didn't", said aaliyah.
Daphne and aaliyah laughed.

Daphne picked out a paper and unfolded it.
"Have you got a confession you like to make", read daphne.
Aaliyah and daphne laughed.
"Okay I do", said aaliyah and put the paper aside.
"Hopefully my mom won't see this, but this is so terrible-", said aaliyah and laughed along with daphne.
"It's not that bad you know, all kids do bad stuff in school, long time in school, Iwas a really good student, mind you I just I have to preempt it with that, but um I was in sixth grade or something and um, I got a progress report, it was one of those tests or something like that, and I was devastated that I got a c, cause I was heading b's and I didn't like it, and I did not want to take it home, to show that I got a c, so I changed it to a B and my mom never knew", said aaliyah.
Daphne gasped and aaliyah laughed.
"Your turn", said aaliyah.
"Okay um, well hopefully my dad is not watching this uh, this was during the bad tour and my dad and the rest of the crew had ordered chinese and I added tons of hot sauce to his noodles and no one knew who did it, till this day no one still knows, well it was me all along", said daphne.
