On her baby: He's 16 months old and he eats soap and paper. What's going on with kids?

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 don't listen to my own music at home.

My child was not only carried by me, but by the universe.

On her baby: He's 16 months old and he eats soap and paper. What's going on with kids?

I have records in gold, in platinum, I have two Oscars, I have Grammys and so on.

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.

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.

I gave life, and that is beautiful.

I think that life has a secret, and children they hold that secret. Maybe it's not given to everybody to discover this thing.

There's been nothing but discipline, discipline, discipline all my life.

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.

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 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 often buy myself presents. Sometimes I will spend $100,000 in one day in a posh boutique.

I have become a housewife and there is no better job.

I've never been cool - and I don't care.

Since I was a little child, my nose - I think it's too big.

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.

Don't be so familiar and so much into the details. Keep people dreaming. Close the window, and make them wonder.

I definitely would never go back to my 20s. The best is yet to come.

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 don't just sing for free. It's my work. You're paid for what you do. And I work hard.

I don't know if the camera likes me, but I do like the camera.

I have shared my whole life. My private and my show business life. It helps me actually to feel my songs and to go on with my dreams.

I have to say that when you tour the world, obviously, the jetlags and different hours and ways of living and traveling, a lot of hours in the plane, and you wake up in the morning and you're not quite sure where you are, and it is very tiring.

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 love beautiful things. I'm not into art so much, like paintings.

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 love to sing and perform. It is what I do and love. It completes my life.

I only record songs that touch me in some way, ones that I can relate to.

I think it bothers people to see people that are happy and successful. So they try to find what's wrong with them.

I was not a good-lookin' girl. I was extremely skinny. I wasn't pretty. I wasn't cool.

I wasn't good at school.

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.

I'm not looking for career attention, for more success, more money. I'm just singing songs I chose because I love them.

I'm passionate about my fans and my shows. But my biggest reward in the success that is my life are my husband and kids.

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'm very comfortable in my skin.

It seems strange to say this, but it is true: Coming back to Vegas to work is like going on vacation for me.

It's really all about family, love and the children for me. I work at that every day.

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.

My kids give me the balance to live right.

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.

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.

The craziest thing I've done is cut my hair blonde and short a couple of years ago. And people reached out to me saying, 'Celine, you're one of the most stable things we have in our lives, don't do that. We want you the way you are.'

The first song that I ever recorded was written by my mother.
