CéLINE DIXIt

Edited by Valentina

I don't know myself very well because my life went faster than the time I had to live it.
I'm not trying to be a nice girl, but it's me. I'm not afraid to be nice.
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.
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 ok with me.
There's no limit for me, and there never will be.
Probably on stage is the best way to get to know me. It's who I am really. This is where I feel good. I fell strong. I feel happy. Nobody can come on stage and tell me what to do. So I can be myself and have a good time. In person, maybe I can be frightened or be shy..............on stage is the place to meet me.
I'm not in competition with anybody but myself. My goal is to beat my last performance.
I really like Mariah and Whitney and all those great talented people, come on! They're amazing. If people think I'm similar to them, it's a wonderful compliment. I'm trying, of course, to do my own style, the way I feel my songs, of course. I'm not trying to copy. There's one Whitney Houston, there's one Mariah Carey and I think I'm doing what I feel about my songs.
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.
For me, singing was real life, not two plus two equals four.
