I've never been cool - and I don't care.
Celine Dion
When you are surrounded by children, the child in you comes back.
I don't know if the camera likes me, but I do like the camera.
I have become a housewife and there is no better job.
There's no such thing is aging, but maturing and knowledge. It's beautiful, I call that beauty.
The hardest thing to find in life is balance - especially, the more success you have, the more you look to the other side of the gate.
Don't be so familiar and so much into the details. Keep people dreaming. Close the window, and make them wonder.
I often buy myself presents. Sometimes I will spend $100,000 in one day in a posh boutique.
The hardest thing to find in life is balance - especially the more success you have, the more you look to the other side of the gate. What do I need to stay grounded, in touch, in love, connected, emotionally balanced? Look within yourself.
There's been nothing but discipline, discipline, discipline all my life.
I'll be a Quebecker-Canadian. I'm from Quebec, and every time I go to a country, I say that. It's my roots, my origins, and it's the most important thing to me.
My kids give me the balance to live right.
Everything that I decide to do means something, otherwise I don't do them.
Golf is a search for perfection, for balance. It's about meditation and concentration. You have to use hand and brain.
I hope, what I hope the most is to be more successful as a mother than in show business, because to be a mother is the most difficult I will ever have to do.
I have records in gold, in platinum, I have two Oscars, I have Grammys and so on.
I love pencil skirts, but I'm always looking for a top. And then I'm afraid, by myself, to match, to try colors. When I wear a dress, I know the top matches the bottom. So I can't make a mistake.
I'm not looking for career attention, for more success, more money. I'm just singing songs I chose because I love them.
It's really all about family, love and the children for me. I work at that every day.
I started at 5 years old in the kitchen table with my family supporting me. I know where I'm from and I know exactly where I'm going.
I knew it was going to be the most extraordinary thing in my life, but how powerful it is, you can never know until you have a baby.
I looked in the audience. There were no strangers. Everybody was singing and cheering and hugging. That was a beautiful picture to look at.
I think that life has a secret, and children they hold that secret. Maybe it's not given to everybody to discover this thing.
It seems strange to say this, but it is true: Coming back to Vegas to work is like going on vacation for me.
When you're a parent, you sing better. It becomes a pure pleasure, rather than something I have to do.
I love beautiful things. I'm not into art so much, like paintings.
Some people can't stand being alone. I love solitude and silence. But when I come out of it, I'm a regular talking machine. It's all or nothing for me.
I will perform My Heart Will Go On for the rest of my life and it will always remain a very emotional experience for me.
I want to be more successful as a mother than I am in show business.
I love performing, but I never really liked show business. My success is my family. I want to be more successful as a mother.
Since I was a little child, my nose - I think it's too big.
I wasn't good at school.
When I hear something that comes from me that makes me fall down off my chair, it's not often.
I worked really hard, and I surpassed myself... I didn't have, visually, what it took. I was not pretty, I had teeth problems, and I was very skinny. I didn't fit the mold.
I was not a good-lookin' girl. I was extremely skinny. I wasn't pretty. I wasn't cool.
The first song that I ever recorded was written by my mother.
My feet are definitely more grounded than before. And I know that I'm not holding onto a dream. I'm holding onto my life.
I gave life, and that is beautiful.
I think it bothers people to see people that are happy and successful. So they try to find what's wrong with them.
Never say that your life is to be a singer. You want to sing because it's a part of your life. But if you don't succeed as a singer, it doesn't mean you don't have a life and it's over.
I don't just sing for free. It's my work. You're paid for what you do. And I work hard.
I'm very comfortable in my skin.
I'm so centered in feeling great about me that I can give great things to my son and my husband and my family.
I didn't have any of those good assets to have successful teenage years. It was hard. And what saved me was definitely my whole family. I knew where I was coming from and where I was going to.
I definitely would never go back to my 20s. The best is yet to come.
I'm not going to be Rihanna. No one can be Rihanna except for Rihanna.
I don't listen to my own music at home.
At home, we don't listen to our music-we listen to other people's music. It keeps you attached to the show business world.
My child was not only carried by me, but by the universe.
On her son Rene: Oh my God, when he's 20 years old what's going to happen to me? I'm gonna marry him.
