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.

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

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

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

I don't listen to my own music at home.

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.

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

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.'

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

When you are surrounded by children, the child in you comes back.

I'm so centered in feeling great about me that I can give great things to my son and my husband and my family.

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

I'm not going to be Rihanna. No one can be Rihanna except for Rihanna.

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

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

I gave life, and that is beautiful.

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

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

I wasn't good at school.

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

When you're home, I don't listen to my own music at home.

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

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 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 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 have a wonderful husband. I have three amazing kids.

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

I want to be more successful as a mother than I am in show business.

I'm very comfortable in my skin.

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.

My kids give me the balance to live right.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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 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'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.

Golf is a search for perfection, for balance. It's about meditation and concentration. You have to use hand and brain.

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 love performing, but I never really liked show business. My success is my family. I want to be more successful as a 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.
