I don't take risks with my family. I started at the top. I came down. Maturity is being grounded. When you feel grounded, you feel strong. I know what I want. My success is my family. I want to be more successful as a mother. Some people have suggested that I have my chin done, but I'm a singer and it could change my voice. I'm not a model whose survival depends on beauty. My job consists of putting the most emotions into my songs. It might be a stupid thing to say, but when I look at my father, my mother and pictures of my grand-parents, I am proud.
I wouldn't like to change any of that. Just look at Barbra Streisand! Look at her nose! She is beautiful and she doesn't give a damn about what people think. I think it bothers people to see people that are happy and successful. So they try to find what's wrong with them.
During my 30 years in show business, I've had lots of bad vibes and bad reviews, but between you and me, if that's bad I can go for another 30, just like that. I'm not losing sleep. To me, the most important thing is the response of people who come to see our shows. They're telling me to keep going. I only record songs that touch me in some way, ones that I can relate to.
I've always been an 'open book' when it comes to my fans. They are so loyal to me and give me such great support that I feel I want to share as much of my life with them as I can.
They are part of this journey - a big part! Unbelievable voice, great dancer and so very beautiful. Without a doubt, she's one of the most talented artists the world has ever seen or heard, and I think she's going to continue to amaze us for many, many years to come. The only time I did one puff was in Holland, where it's legal. And I went to a cafeteria with some girls, with the little boats and the canals and we stopped and I tried.
But I didn't choke. Dion was the youngest of 14 children. From a very young age, Dion knew exactly what she wanted to be: a singer.
Her first public performance came at five years old when she sang at her brother Michel's wedding; the 14 brothers and sisters would also sing at the family's restaurant near Repentigny.
And what I heard was enough to make me cry. I heard a special voice like I had never heard before. When Jasmin asked her what her ultimate ambition was, she could barely answer. In a interview, she admitted she didn't understand the question. When she returned her teeth were capped, her hair was shorter and permed, she wore glitzier clothes, and she was more fully bilingual. She had also taken voice classes and dance lessons.
I'd love to have a boyfriend, or a husband and a family — but all that will have to wait," she said at In , Dion won the popular Eurovision Song Contest, catapulting her to international fame.
But she didn't win the prize for Canada, she won it on behalf of Switzerland. By the time she was just 22 years old, Dion had already released eight studio albums — but her ninth, titled Unison , marked another significant turning point because it was her first English-language offering.
Produced by industry heavyweights including David Foster and Christopher Neil, the album included a mix of upbeat tracks and ballads, among them the megahit Where Does My Heart Beat Now , which reached number four on the Billboard Hot In , the album won the Juno for album of the year.
Dion also won for female vocalist. It's a real surprise," she said as she accepted the album of the year award. Dion's album Unison won many awards, including one in her home province that she refused to accept. Said Dion, "I am not an anglophone artist and the public understands that. The controversy captured headlines at the time, and the media reaction even became the subject of a lengthy study in the Canadian Journal of Communication.
The theme song for Disney's animated Beauty and the Beast — which Dion recorded with Peabo Bryson — gave the singer one of her first huge hits in , and her first Grammy. Her album D'eux became one of the bestselling French-language albums of all time. But her international career seriously skyrocketed with the arrival of the James Cameron blockbuster Titanic. Performed by Dion, the theme song My Heart Will Go On was threaded through the entire film and not only became her signature song, but won an Oscar for best original song, swept the Grammy awards, picked up a Golden Globe, and became one of the best-selling music singles of all time.
As huge as My Heart Will Go On would become, Dion admits that the first time she heard the song, she didn't like it, and she was concerned about recording yet another soundtrack theme. Cameron was also against the idea of ending his film with a pop song. The track was written by composer James Horner who later died in a plane crash and lyricist Will Jennings, and Dion recorded the vocals in a single take.
