The way it was said makes it sound like I'm not singing live at my shows, which is not true. In the past, we've used instrumentation and voice samples on the up-tempo numbers. This just gives the dance tracks a bit more punch to enhance the live performance, but I think that's normal.
There's people still there, waiting to be rescued, and for me it's not acceptable.
This thing has really upset me, ... Since that story came out, everyone has been congratulating me, and I have to keep telling them that it's not true. I only wish it was true.
I would love to make a film, ... I want an Oscar!
On her son again: I smell his feet; they have a scent that's a bit like vinegar.
We need to serve our country, and be there right now to rescue the rest of the people. We need the cash, we need the blood, we need the support, right now we need the prayers.
I want to be more successful as a mother than I am in show business.
Its the moment you think you can't that you realize you can.
Oh, 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.
I wanted to partner with a beauty company that would develop a product in a line with my values. Like creating music, it is important that beauty products appeal to both one's senses and emotions.
When I hear something that comes from me that makes me fall down off my chair, it's not often.
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 don't like listening to music. I'm not a music fan.
Some people do drugs, I buy shoes!
