When I was very young I was the ugly duckling. I had a lot of complexes. My sister was wonderful and I was nothing.

There were wonderful moments when I was singing for the first time in the Olympia Theatre and I was pregnant with my son, which was very, very strange for a singer.

When I started to work with UNICEF, it was a new way of giving some love and care to the world.

With my songs I tried to prove that there is love.

I do believe that if you haven't learnt about sadness, you cannot appreciate happiness.

When I was singing, everybody liked me.

How you looked was not important. It was what you did and how you did it. Decide to do it and then do it the best way you can.
