 Hailing from the small town of Charlemagne, Qu��bec, C��line Dion has become one of the all-time greatest singers. C��line was born in 1968, the youngest of 14 children. Early in childhood, she sang with her siblings in a small club owned by her parents. From these early experiences, C��line gained the know-how to performing live. At the age of 12, Dion composed a song in her native French and sent it to a record company, where it garnered the attention of Ren�� Ang��lil, a respected manager. Ang��lil believed in C��line so much that he actually mortgaged his house in order to finance her debut album. Already very popular and successful internationally, C��line burst onto the U.S. stage when she recorded the theme song to Disney's hit Beauty and the Beast (1991). The song garnered a Grammy and an Oscar, and from this point C��line has brought forth hit after hit. Her 'Falling Into You' album, released in 1996, became the best-selling album of that year, selling more than 25 million copies worldwide. In 1999, Dion took a hiatus in order to begin a family. She returned to the spotlight in 2002, releasing yet another hit album. Starting in 2003, C��line began a three-year commitment to perform in an arena built for her in Las Vegas.

| Quotes: |
I guess it all depends on your nature. 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.
<br />
<hr>
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.
<br />
<hr>
For me, singing was real life, not two plus two equals four.
<br />
<hr>
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.
<br />
<hr>
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. |
