LOL you are right!! Weird though that she listened to D'Elles in that period, yet that album was completely ignored during that concert!

Yeah, what's up with that!?

Written interviews are always Celine's best interviews. I don't know why.

Maybe when there's a camera on, she's someone else. she's inhibiting herself from saying certain things....

I've tried to upload an even better interview, but it hasn't been posted on the forum for whatever reason. So here is the translated interview from Berlin newspaper "BZ":  
“Berlin is my absolute favourite city”   

Miss Dion, your last album has been released in 2007. Where have you been?

You’re saying that you’ve missed me? How cute! (laughs) But to be honest with you, I didn’t rest a lot because I gave birth to two children and I have been performing in Las Vegas. And for three years, I have been on stage with a new show, so I haven’t been away, although I isolated myself from the music industry. This, however, made it possible for me to record a brand new album.

However, you’ve just bound yourself to Las Vegas till 2019.

Yes, but I don’t want to think about that, this is somewhat scary.

Why are you accepting this deal then?

If you have three children, it is impossible to travel all the time. It is very exhaustive, although I am going to miss it since you’re able to see so much of the world, it is exciting. You experience so much and it’s such an intensive feeling, but on the other hand, there is jetlag and allergies you have to struggle with. With three children, it easily gets too much. Vegas is a compromise, but also wonderful because it allows me to be a mom and guarantee stability and safety to my children and to do what I love to do (sing).

And it never gets boring although it’s always the same routine?

I am not thinking about that. I am moving on from one show to the next one. That’s the best way to cope with it. I mean, how old am I going to be once I’ll be done with it? I’ll probably need a walking frame in order to perform ‘My Heart Will Go On’. What a terrible vision.

A vision you seem to have accepted since you’ve put your houses in Montréal and Florida on sale.

As much as I love these houses, I do not really need them because this year, I have only been one week to Florida and none to Montréal. It is not worth it to spend money on the personal for these houses while I could easily reside in hotels for a few days.  

Do you think you’re going to find someone who’ll buy the house for 72 m. $?

Good question. I don’t know. Especially, since I am not going to sell it for less than that because I want to get back what I have invested. If that is not the case, I am going to keep the house, even if Vegas is now going to be our permanent home. There’s no way back.

Do you have any concerns that you’re children are growing up in a gambler’s paradise? A place that has a high rate of criminality and lots of drug torts?

I don’t think that they are going to see a lot of that. RC is home schooled at the moment, for example. It was his own wish because the situation at his former school wasn’t easy for him because he couldn’t socialise with the other students, he didn’t have the feeling of being part of a team. While school is getting more and more difficult and the amount of homework rises, it is wrong to take the kid out of class and send it some time back. That’s stressful. Therefore, it’s better for him to get home schooled, and if it’s not working well, we can still decide whether we are going to send him back to school or not. At the moment, it’s amazing because he can be very flexible. He can work in advance or catch up on missed lessons. Thus, he is able to elaborate his time management and his self-responsibility, an educational model which might work for the twins as well. What’s important to me is to be able to spend time with my children, especially while they are young.


That sounds as if Céline Dion, the mother, is an easy going mom who is allowing everything.

You’ll have to ask my oldest son about that, but there are probably stricter moms out there. I grew up in a family with 14 children. My mother was surcharged. Nowadays, nobody can imagine how difficult that time must have been. So probably my children are having an easier time.

Could you imagine to have more addition to the family or are there no plans for future babies?

There are no plans anymore. Probably not because of me, but because of my husband. You have to ask yourself whether it is fair for a child to have a father of over 70 years of age who might not be able to see the children growing up and reaching adulthood. I believe that it is important for a child to have a father and thus, we should concentrate on educating our children that we already have and make them feel loved and cared for.

In all honesty, your husband is 26 years older than you. Couldn’t he become an additional burden besides the education of your children and your career?

But that could happen with a way younger husband as well. Nobody is immune to disease or accidents. The relationship that René and I share is very special. He has always been there for me, he always supported me and we’ve achieved so much together. All the success, the renownedness and our personal family. That is extraordinary. I love him, even if we had hard times…

So you had personal crises?

Of course, like all couple have. The toughest one was in 2007. We were close to getting separated because we were arguing all the time. We were a typical business couple that was bound to each other by its business relations.

And then?

We sorted things out. We’ve gone to a marriage guidance, and it really worked. We are getting along with each other better than ever. We are having so much more joy and we are respecting each other even more than before. If someone wants to keep one’s relationship working, one has to do something for it.

How do you cope with the rumours that your husband gambles your millions away?

Well, these are rumours. If that were the case, I would definitely counteract to that. He is allowed to have his fun, but I would never allow him to throw money down the drain. That’s nothing I could agree with due to my education and the way I grew up.

… says the woman who owns more than 3000 pairs of shoes.

At least. Probably, there are even more.

Are you serious?

Yes. I love shoes. I am not just buying them for the sake of possessing them. I am actually wearing them and I cannot get enough of them. Although I have to ask myself sometimes: “How could they accumulate so much? Do you have a problem? (laughs)

So to speak a quirk?

Yes because I am not collecting all of the shoes because I want to set a record or something. That is not my intention. Over the last 30 years, there were simply lots of things coming together. It is, however, a bit embarrassing that I have lost track of all the shoes.

But you are not having any lack of space.

That’s true. I don’t, but nonetheless, they require a lot of space.

How do you store your Grammies, Echoes etc.?

They are in a huge room full of vitrines, but I barely go there because it makes me feel so old and it makes me come under stress in the sense of repeating my success over and over again while this is actually irrelevant.

What do you mean by saying that?

Music should not be a competition in order to get rich. Even though I am, it is a side effect of my career. I haven’t started singing in order to become rich, but due to my passion for it. Moreover, it has been my only talent. That’s why I am not pitting myself against all of these prizes, but I am, of course, happy about them.

What do your children think about your music? Are there any differences in taste?

There are definitely differences in taste. RC likes Eminem – someone I do not have use for. He was very shocked when Sia and other cool song writers offered me songs. He thought that this would have been a mistake. His mother, the queen of ‘no’ (laughs) might be a bit cooler now. I mean, I couldn’t believe it either that people like Ne-Yo, Babyface, Eg White or Sia wanted to work with me.

Do you have an explanation for that?

(laughs) Who knows? Maybe they think that I am cool. Suddenly, they write songs for me and tell me how much they admire me. This was somewhat unthinkable some years ago. In the past, people who wrote songs for me were much older than me and I was the kid. Now, it is the other way round. It is wonderful because now I am 45 years old and probably cooler than ever. That’s incredible.

Your singing has changed, too. You are not belting out high notes, it isn’t as exorbitant as in the past.

Times changed, it is not about the singing Olympiad anymore. In the past, the songs were composed to be like that. Today, there are less effects, the voice is edgier and drier. Everything seems to be more natural and straightforward. Even though I liked to hold high notes as long as possible, it is refreshing to change directions. It allows me to keep going without stagnating. Those kids delivered me new flavours. In the past, there were vanilla and chocolate and now, there are cherry garcia, marble whiskey and pecan nut (laughs)

And then there is of course the duet with Stevie Wonder – a knightly accolade for any singer in the world.

Even for me, who worked with Barbra Streisand, Luciano Pavarotti and the Bee Gees, it was extraordinary to work with Stevie Wonder. He was very interested to work with me, and I was speechless. I would have never dared to ask Stevie Wonder for a duet. We had such a good time. Stevie Wonders orange album was the first one that I bought by myself. Now, I’ve got the real Stevie Wonder on my own CD and nobody can take that away from me.

Are there any other people you would like to collaborate with? Is there a wish list?

I would have loved to sing with Freddy Mercury, but that won’t be possible anymore.


What about Adele?

Oh, I love Adele. I cannot wait to meet her in person. Who knows if I ever meet her in person because I don’t spend much time at a place. Even abroad, I am always in a rush and I have barely any memories of what I’ve done. But I love her. She brought music to another level. She made the standard rise and contributed to the fact that I am using my voice differently now, much drier and more natural.

You are touring francophone countries in Europe by the end of November

That’s true. The shows will mainly take place in France.

When will you visit the anglophone countries? You are going to be bound to Vegas shows till April 2014.

I don’t have a clue. But you can believe me that I am not happy about it. But: you have to make decisions in life, and it’s not always easy. I wish I could do everything at the same time, but I will have to wait for the right moments. My children are still very young. Who knows if I am ever going to go on a huge world tour anyway? Probably one day, when there are no commitments anymore.

At the meantime, you are busy with a mini imperium of toiletries, restaurants and golf courses.

(laughs) Everything you need in life.

What are your ambitions?

Well, these are simple financial investments. Is there any woman out there who isn’t dreaming of having her own perfume line? One which is so successful that there are always new products added to the range. That is flattering. With regards to the gold courses, I simply like to be able to move freely which wouldn’t be possible on a public golf course. The restaurants are places where I love to eat. “Schwartz” for example was one restaurant that was supposed to be sold. I thought that it would be good to take it over before somebody else would ruin it. Hence, we just wanted to maintain something that is so close to our heart.

You and your husband are real foodists, aren’t you?

We love good food. I do have a personal cook because I am miserable at cooking.

A cook?

Yes, he is German. He fulfils all my wishes. This, however, isn’t so difficult because I am eating a lot of salad and my children are getting plain fare. If it has to be something very special, we love the German cuisine.

For example?

These sausages from the south. How are they called?

Nürnberger?

Exactly. But I love all sausages in general. That’s the problem (laughs). They are so good and none of the American counterparts can compete with them. And you have wonderful pancakes that are torn apart with icing sugar on top.

Kaiserschmarn?

Yes. I am really missing it. Did you bring some along?



If I only knew…

Not a problem. I will be back in Berlin soon. It is my absolute favourite city in the whole world.

Why is that so? What is so special about it?

Berlin offers so many things. You go shopping, ride a bike and sit in a little bistro – it is wonderful. Every time that we are going on vacation, we make sure to shave a stop in Berlin, either before or after our vacation. Even if we are going to the Maldives, we are in Berlin prior to or after the trip. It is our favourite place. We love the hotel where we always reside, and even if it is just for one night to go to a restaurant and have dinner. I had wonderful experiences in Berlin.

How well do you speak German?

Not very well. Don’t tell this my son because he thinks that I am speaking 7 languages. He is supposed to believe this lie, so that he works hard for school. If he manages to speak 7 languages one day, I will tell him that I do not. Actually, I don’t speak any foreign language because I just know a few phrases.

But you have even sung in Chinese

Well, I just repeated what they have provided. Listen, I have 3000 pairs of shoes. Do you seriously think that I am smart enough to speak 7 languages? (laughs)

Is ths a video interview? or a magazine?

[DionFanAlways]

In reply to speaking Chinese and different languages: "Well, I just repeated what they have provided. Listen, I have 3000 pairs of shoes. Do you seriously think that I am smart enough to speak 7 languages? (laughs)"

Thanks for posting.

I am so surprised about her answers. For years, she would say things like thank God, and she wanted God to be her fan, and during her show she says she thanks God for the blessings He gave her (she says it every night when she sings lullaby), that she wished she had time to go to church, that she was a believer. But, this interview, makes her sound like an atheist. It's such a stark contrast to everything else she has every said--maybe everything was always just an act?

Dion smiles. “But on that particular day, she found strength and she told the priest, ‘I am going to have children when I decide to have children.’ The priest said, ‘Then I banish you from the house of God.’ She replied, ‘As far as I’m concerned, I’m the God in here with my children. This is the house that I believe in.’

“That is the way we were raised. That is the strength and belief we had. I didn’t have to go to church and get on my knees to find something to hold onto.”

The superstar diva known for her outsized moments onstage suddenly grows very quiet.

“If you can find energy in a rock that your children gave you, that can become the most precious thing in your life. I have boxes of dead leaves, branches, flowers that they brought to me. That’s my God. That’s my religion.

“If you don’t believe in something, then you’re a little bit dead.”"

----------------------
Maybe she is just referring to the Catholic church structure? But, to say that her God and religion is a box of dead leaves and branches, is that what she is thanking every night at her show?

Wow.

To be honest, I am not really sure what to make of it. She had always said the truth was in the Bible.

Why would she even have her kids baptized?

So, I just can't tell if she relates to her faith that God is real, but from a spritual perspective sees God in everything (based on past answers combined with this interview) or if all her past comments were just an act (if it were just an act, I wish she would have never said anything, because it feels like a lie she would tell just to connect with audience and make money. I realize that is showbusiness, but, personally, when people do that with faith I have a hard time with it, especially if she went so far as to have her kids baptized, for what, a show?).


It's obviously her business, but I was just really surprised. To say the least.

I kind of wish I hadn't read it.

She is saying that the church isn't God.  Many people get confused and think God is in the church.  God is everywhere around us.  In everything.  The story you posted is about her mother and her mother's issues with the priests.  Priests (and the Pope) often act as if they think they are God themselves and that we should treat them as if they are God and nothing else is.  Celine's problem is one with the Catholic Church - from what I read in that article.

She didn´t say she´s atheist. She just said, in other words that she doesn´t like or aprove the Church as an institution. She did said she believes in God, and she believes in the god within, which is very similar to Budhism in fact.

I´ve never seen her saying that the truth is in the Bible, do you know the source of this info?

But you know, people can change their minds and their believes...why not? We grow mature and the experiences in life change our points of  view.

Thanks for your replies and comments.

I read the article again, and I think you are right. It is more directed toward the Catholic church itself. It almost has to be, given everything she has said in the past, and everything she has done (including baptizing her children, spending the day before her wedding at the chapel in praper (the latter coming from her biography).

I do not think she is a Buddhist. I still think she is a Christian. Just not a Catholic. Believing God within is another way of stating the Holy Spirit too.

I am thinking I just misread it the first time--or just took it the wrong way. To take the article the way I took it at first would mean she systematically misled people for the last decade, and I do not think that's true. I guess I just read it wrong (which is a lesson to be learned, read an article twice before commenting ). I think you are right about the issues being with priests and the Pope, and she had said similar things in the past. Just recently on Larry King she said she never doubted her faith, I just can't believe she was meaning a box of rocks or herself. So, it seems like she was just making a distinction between faith and spirituality, and I missed the distinction at first. It was the line about the box of rocks being her God and her religion, where I was like "What??"

The Bible comment comes from several years ago, it was on a few TV shows. I can't remember the year--one was an appearance on the View and one was on Larry King (I think). She was just talking in general about her son, at the time only had RC, and that she wants to watch him and take care of him. But, my general knowledge of her beliefs comes from her own biographies (My Story, My Dream, the official one by George H, and For Keeps)--which is why I felt so strongly about the article at first (everything else had been so consistent. But, like I said, I agree with your comments, I read the article again, and I will just move on now (and let this be another lesson of not reading articles about people I admire)).

i think that when you go to church, it is a gesture to show you believe in god, not that you believe in the church in itself. And i've never heard her say that the truth was in the bible, i must have missed it.

I saw many people in other foruns/chats that had the same interpretation that you, that she´s atheist.

I think I understood it right away cause she translated the exactly feeling I do have about God/spiritualism. See, I was also raised in roman catholic but I´m non-practicing. What I have to tell you is that, at least here, we marry on church and have our children baptized simply for social commitment.

[DionFanAlways]

I know she said "the truth is in the poop" can't remember her saying anything about the Bible.

She simply sees God in everything around her, same with me. She doesn't feel you have to say 22 Hail Mary's to believe in God... (just my interpretation)

[brujocrow]

that was a great interview. I wonder why she is my mythological woman. The "golden haired" woman. That has a symbolic meaning and nothing to do with the colour of hair. Forgive me, I'm exhausted and a little tipsy. I must sound like a silly fool. There are those who would agree. Given the opportunity to meet Celine, I would not. It would never be better than it is at this moment. I dont take pictures either for the same reason I guess. It seems important to have a devotion to beauty, even if it can never be realized. Here's to a silly old fool

[littleames]

I don't believe Celine is Atheist and even if she was, I would still love her the same.
I quit going to church because it just wasn't my thing. I didn't like being looked down upon because I wanted to have a drink with some friends (or play beer pong, I used to be a champ   )
I know that doesn't make me a bad person

BTW that was a really good interview, I love when she is open and honest like that

I tihnk what she was trying to say there is that the rocks and leaves are those given to her by her children and are therefore precious and a symbol of her children's love for her and her love for them.  And in that love and those blessings is where she finds God, perhaps as a source of love and goodness,

That's just a guess, but I think it might be what she was saying. I adore Celine, but she doesn't always express ideas clearly, especially when we're getting piecemeal quotes in an interview.

She didn´t say she´s atheist. She just said, in other words that she doesn´t like or aprove the Church as an institution. She did said she believes in God, and

I know she said "the truth is in the poop" can't remember her saying anything about the Bible.

She simply sees God in everything around her, same with me. She doesn't feel you have to say 22 Hail Mary's to believe in God... (just my interpretation)

she believes in the god within, which is very similar to Budhism in fact.

I´ve never seen her saying that the truth is in the Bible, do you know the source of this info?

But you know, people can change their minds and their believes...why not? We grow mature and the experiences in life change our points of  view.

The truth is in the pooop- that;s what I was going to say too..... hahha...

I thought she was an aesthetist, doesn't believe in a pretty god.

Never mind

[browseceline]

so that explains the 14 children. But if I were Celine's mum I would have said NO quite early. Who are those people to tell that you have to take more children. Insane how much power the church had in those times. Insane!  But yes, without them Celine would not have been here. So in a way we have to thank them:-S
Interesting interview though!

If it was destiny Celine comes to earth, she´d come anyway....in other family with 1, 2 children, doesn´t matter
