"After the show, I was so impressed. I wanted to go backstage, and I wanted to look into the eyes of every performer. There was 50, 60, 70 performers, and I wanted to talk to them.

"As long as my fans enjoy my music and I'm happy in myself, my life and my music, that's all the truly concerns me." - Celine Dion

"I think that all on me is well-proportinated." - Celine Dion
"I think that life has a secret, and children they hold that secret. Maybe it's not given to everybody to discover this thing." - Celine Dion

I mean, I like the beat. It's good. But sometimes I have to be careful about the lyrics." - Celine Dion

"I want to be more successful as a mother than I am in show business." - Celine Dion

"I went to a Berlitz school for two months, every day, nine to five. It was very intensive. I was not speaking the language fluently; singing it was a little bit easier. But it was scary to do an English interview. What am I going to do if I don't understand?" - Celine Dion
"I will marry my husband once again. Five is our lucky number, five years ago we were married for the first time. And then our new life begins. Lord, it will become so beautifully boring! Super!" - Celine Dion
"I will never be the same." - Celine Dion
"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." - Celine Dion
"I wish we were all naked all of the time. I get so sick of the way we've become obsessed with image. Who's wearing what, why someone has their hair cut in this way, who has reinvented themselves and why? Today everything's always about looks, good looks and fashionable clothes." - Celine Dion
"I won't have to fly anywhere for while. I'll do my show every night and come home to my son and my husband every evening. That means a lot more to me than the money. Then, when it's all over, I think I'll say goodbye to this business once again." - Celine Dion
"I'm addicted to make up. I'm buying beauty products like wild." - Celine Dion
"I'm flattered when they take the time to impersonate you. I think it's a good sign." - Celine Dion

"I've always believed it's what's underneath that counts. If we were all forced to be naked then perhaps we would start to see that a little bit more." - Celine Dion
"I've had time to be sick for the first time in 18 years. There's been no worrying about schedules, no vocal training. I can let myself laugh without worrying about irritating my voice, and I can scream when I'm happy." - Celine Dion
"I've never been cool-and I don't care." - Celine Dion
"I've seen diapers. And believe me, my mother is right. What's in the pooh-pooh is like the Bible. The truth is in there." - Celine Dion

"If you don't hear from me again, you'll know I'll be happy because I'll have my family." - Celine Dion
"If you want it so bad, it gets easier. You go to New York for two weeks, and you relax. And you give yourself shot after shot after shot and blood tests. The doctor every day. For some people, it might be very hard." - Celine Dion
"In the age of 15 I recorded two German songs, I liked it. German is like a big piece of wood for a fireplace, very strong, very beautiful. It's super for a powerful love song." - Celine Dion
"In vitro... it's a long process, a lot of patience. It involves a lot of shots. I'm 33 years old." - Celine Dion
"Isn't it amazing that we always have to be heroes? Like, it's okay to say, Mommy is scared. Mommy is hurt. Mommy is tired." - Celine Dion
"It was Florida and it was Montreal. I listened to music, I watched TV, I watched the others perform, I listened to some other people's music, and I gave space to hear life." - Celine Dion
"It was so touching to see the two men of my life embracing." - Celine Dion
"It was very emotional to be home and do one last farewell show. I was going on to my new life, which was very important for me." - Celine Dion

"It's the moment you think you can't that you realize you can." - Celine Dion
"James Cameron didn't want to have any songs in this movie. The composer James Horner wrote that song without him knowing. So we did a demo, and the demo became the record. I never re-sang the song. They built the orchestra around it. I'm glad James Cameron changed his mind." - Celine Dion
"Look at Catherine Zeta Jones and Michael Douglas. She's a clever girl, because like me, she knows that an older man has time to love and nurture you." - Celine Dion
"Love is kitschy!" - Celine Dion
"Maybe I've done it-for 20 years I've done it so much that I still hear it and it still feeds me very well." - Celine Dion
"Maybe we do some intimate shows here and there, something unplugged, something light." - Celine Dion

"My body is my friend." - Celine Dion
"My child changed my life totally. And I didn't have the need to sing anymore. I didn't want to do it anymore - didn't want to take a second away from my son. I was going to the school of life with him every day." - Celine Dion

"My mom was 41 when I was born." - Celine Dion
"My real dream came true. We had a son." - Celine Dion

"Nobody said it was going to be easy. But I want to be successful as a mother. No matter what I have to do. There's not even a decision. I'm not even going to think about it." - Celine Dion
"Not every song is a big ballad, but every song is as powerful." - Celine Dion

"People used to laugh and call me vampire because I had these big teeth like fangs." - Celine Dion
"People who do such bad things in the world-they're probably not around kids a lot." - Celine Dion
"Rene actually has no good voice for singing, more like a godfather in a mafia movie: low, hoarse like a rasp. But very sexy-like his feet. Yes, sir!" - Celine Dion
"Rene isn't interested in fashion. What I like he likes, too! We don't love each other for what we are wearing." - Celine Dion
"Rene used to organize everything. But when he told me that he needed me, I became a little bit more in charge of taking care of the family and making sure that we stopped planning too much ahead and don't forget today." - Celine Dion
"Rene was my manager and husband, but I felt we were starting to lose the most important part of our relationship. Everything was about work and my voice and we weren't allowing enough space for our love, so we decided to take some time out." - Celine Dion
"Rene was very scared, and I saw him scared the first time in my whole life with him. And that was good. I thought I loved him at the max, but no. I had much more to give him - I didn't know that - and he let me." - Celine Dion
"Shall I go on 15 years more just to find out: My parents are dead, I have golden picture-frames, but no more friends, whose photos I could put in? I would like to have time for my family and above all time for my husband. Now." - Celine Dion
"Since I was a little child, my nose-I think it's too big." - Celine Dion
"So far so good. We take it a day at a time." - Celine Dion
"Sometimes it's embarrassing for myself, when I'm sitting in a restaurant with other people who are thinking if they should drink either a glass of wine or a take a dessert. I take always both. In addition to the ice cream I take a big portion of whipped cream." - Celine Dion

"Speaking honestly: Rene loves me the most when I'm wearing nothing." - Celine Dion
"The most important thing is to accept yoursel, and that's what I have done. I am healthy, I can walk and jump around and care about others-that's the essential part for me." - Celine Dion
"The only way to be stable is to be in one place. I'm going to be based in Las Vegas for three years. And I'm able to give the visual show I want for my fans. Every song will become an experience. It's going to be 50 or 60 performers on stage." - Celine Dion
"The past three years have been so precious to me because they've shown me how human we are and how the things we must value aren't the money and the fame, but our health, our love and our family." - Celine Dion
"The rumours, that say I would eat only salad and raw vegetables-aren't true. I just eat irregular, but possibly sound." - Celine Dion

"There's been nothing but discipline, discipline, discipline all my life." - Celine Dion

"There's two people that I do love so-that I admire, that I look up to in my life, my mom in my personal life, and Barbra in show business. I just love her very much." - Celine Dion
"They're stealing 20 pair of jeans or they're stealing television sets. Who cares? They're not going to go too far with it. Maybe those people are so poor, some of the people who do that they're so poor they've never touched anything in their lives. Let them touch those things for once." - Celine Dion
"This is my big return, for sure. Every time I do something, it is entirely my whole self or not at all." - Celine Dion

"To learn more languages, Spanish, Italian-or better, Japanese and Chinese-they take over the world economy slowly! In addition, German gladly." - Celine Dion

"We call him Rene-Charles. I went through labor for 24 hours. And then, Rene took him in his arms." - Celine Dion
"We went through life and death in one day. I'm glad everything happened like it did, because it gave us a chance to see what our priorities are. Being rich and famous is a wonderful thing, but it can't stop you from having cancer, it can't stop you from having problems trying to conceive a child." - Celine Dion
"We were lucky that in vitro worked the first time for us. We put three embryos in my belly and we have one that's five days old; it's frozen and it's there waiting for us. I'm going to go get this baby." - Celine Dion
"What I am eating I keep in me." - Celine Dion
"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." - Celine Dion

"When I'm dressed I feel great. I can wear everything and never have had a problem because of the size or or a blouse that's too tight." - Celine Dion
"When I'm in naked front of my mirror I'd like to be a little bit more thick. I think women with curves are very beautiful. I don't put on weight." - Celine Dion

"When you are a new mother, your body is-you're not in control totally." - Celine Dion

"When you're a singer it's not only to sing and then we try to have a hit here, there's a responsibility of what you sing. Some people are being influenced. You enter people's life with some music. There intimacy. So whatever you sing you got to be careful sometime with lyrics." - Celine Dion
"While I was pregnant, two things I know for sure. He won't be blond and he won't have blue eyes! That's for sure. He's almost blond and he's got the eyes of the sky." - Celine Dion

"Yesterday, we can't do anything; tomorrow, we don't know. Today." - Celine Dion
"You don't want to bother people. Too much is too much. If you want to sing and be there all the time, you have to take a break." - Celine Dion
"You know, what I want the most right now, of course, my album, my record is fun." - Celine Dion
"You shouldn't always think about perfect breasts, a perfect body or a perfect nose. Of course, I'm thinking, that my nose could be thinner, my chin less peak or my belly a little more stronger after my pregnancy. But who cares? I am what I am!" - Celine Dion
"You're breast feeding every two hours. Milk is like... end of two valves, like the milk is coming out of your breast, which is a fantastic thing." - Celine Dion
