Shania Twain

I really feel like life will dictate itself. You should allow it to unfold as naturally as possible. Just go with the flow. When you're really desperate, you say a few prayers and hope for the best. That's the way I've always lived my life.

I do not see my family life in any way, shape, or form as an opportunity for a photo.

I spent a lot of my life holding back my cries, and I want to change that because it's not good for me.

I want to talk to people that have been through big disappointments, big emotional crises, deep life struggles, and I will learn something from that.

All I ever intended was to make a living at what I do. Everything I've achieved since then is above and beyond.

Life unravels the way it does, and it has an effect on you, but you have to take responsibility for dealing with it.

Being betrayed is one of the most valuable lessons life can teach.

I lost my sense of trust, honesty and compassion. I crashed down and became what I consider an emotional mess. I've never been so miserable in my whole life. I just wanted to go to bed and never get up.

If I hadn't had a childhood career, I probably would've signed a contract with the first person I came across.

Music is a great natural high and a great natural escape.

I'm not someone who is glamorous all the time.

The red-carpet spotlight is a little bit more nerve-racking when you haven't been doing it all the time.
