Lara Fabian

I never thought music could also bring you personal growth, but it truly has.

I hope people will find sincerity and authenticity in my music.

Having success in America is the cherry on the sundae for me.

I don't want to sing, you know: 'oh yeah, I love you baby, you love me too.'

I started songwriting at around age 12, and that was it. I never really stopped. Nothing else ever really crossed my mind. It's truly the expression of who I am.

I believe in the fact that an audience has one heart. I can just tell you one thing: If I sing the 'Adagio,' and I pull it out with all the honesty I have - whether they're Japanese, Italian, American or Belgian or French - they will react in the same way.

I don't want to have any category stamped on my face.

Comparison is a human thing, a normal thing.

I believe history of humankind has always faced challenges. I don't think that any other period in history was less problematic then the one in which we live.

I would love to have a song that fusions western arrangement with classic Indian instruments.

I am a woman, a mother, a daughter, a friend, a human being as any other human. I just happen to write songs and perform them, and I am lucky to be able to make a living with my music. Other than that, I smile, laugh, and cry, like any other woman.

No matter where you come from, if you sing in English, you can cross over to the world.

I've always wanted to be a singer, ever since I was a child.

I've been compared to so many people - Streisand, Celine - it doesn't bother me. Why worry about being compared to the best?

Believing in love doesn't have an expiration date.

I'm so passionate about Panic! at the Disco and Brendon Urie. I'm obsessed with him.

You don't have a connection to your fans if they don't have a connection to you and the music.

My music reflects the time on which we live, both in terms of arrangements, as well as in the subjects treated in the lyrics.

My greatest influence came from my parents' love of classical music. We listened to a lot of arias and operas growing up.

I'm a very optimistic person, woman, mother and singer. And at the same time, I'm very realistic when I look at other aspects of my life.
