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

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

Dion: "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."

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

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

Dion: "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."

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

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

Dion: "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."

Dion: “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.”

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

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

Dion: "There's one way to do showbiz, if you want to do it perfectly, you have to be disciplined and you have to be ready to work really hard."

Dion: "I looked in the audience. There were no strangers. Everybody was singing and cheering and hugging. That was a beautiful picture to look at."

Dion: "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."

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."

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

Dion: "There's always a new thing happening to me that's even more extraordinary, so pressure gets harder. But I like it when it's hard. Anyone can do it when it's easy. When it's hard and you can do it good, you're proud of yourself. There's going to be more pressure as the years go by, that's for sure. But I think I'm a hard worker and I'm ready for that. As long as I believe in what I'm doing, the pressure is okay with me."

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

Dion: "I'm not in competition with anybody but myself. My goal is to beat my last performance."

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

Dion: "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."

Dion: "My kids give me the balance to live right."

Dion: "Life imposes things on you that you can't control, but you still have the choice of how you're going to live through this."

Dion: "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.'"

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

Dion: "When you're a parent, you sing better. It becomes a pure pleasure, rather than something I have to do."

Dion: "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."

Dion: "Everything that I decide to do means something, otherwise I don't do them."

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

Dion: "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."

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

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

Dion: "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."

Dion: “If you follow your dreams, it means you follow your heart. If you do follow your heart, I don't think you can go wrong.”
