<v Speaker 1>some of the videos, uh from your new album, from

0:03:16.240 --> 0:03:19.960
<v Speaker 1>your your tour and your album, the Courage Album, and

0:03:20.040 --> 0:03:26.320
<v Speaker 1>I sat here crying, sobbing, praying for you, going, how

0:03:26.360 --> 0:03:28.280
<v Speaker 1>am I going to have an interview when I'm a

0:03:28.280 --> 0:03:33.640
<v Speaker 1>hot mess? Oh? Thank you? That such a compliment. Thank

0:03:33.639 --> 0:03:40.720
<v Speaker 1>you so much. You're still crying. I'm I'm. I tried

0:03:40.760 --> 0:03:42.640
<v Speaker 1>to pull myself together, and then I looked at the

0:03:42.640 --> 0:03:47.160
<v Speaker 1>tour dates and saw that, um, the day you're in

0:03:47.240 --> 0:03:50.840
<v Speaker 1>my area, it would be my son's twenty one birthday.

0:03:51.080 --> 0:03:54.400
<v Speaker 1>And then I started crying all over again. I'm like, Okay, God,

0:03:54.920 --> 0:03:59.760
<v Speaker 1>help me out here. I'm sorry. The video that you

0:04:00.360 --> 0:04:07.119
<v Speaker 1>did that you released the Courage video. Wow. Of all

0:04:07.160 --> 0:04:10.000
<v Speaker 1>the things I've ever seen you do, and I've been

0:04:10.040 --> 0:04:14.840
<v Speaker 1>playing your music since you started, since David Foster first

0:04:14.880 --> 0:04:17.719
<v Speaker 1>brought your music to me a long long time ago.

0:04:18.680 --> 0:04:21.560
<v Speaker 1>Of all the things I've I've seen you do and

0:04:21.600 --> 0:04:23.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how many times I saw you in

0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:31.200
<v Speaker 1>Vegas and Selim. That video is so powerful and so beautiful. Oh,

0:04:31.640 --> 0:04:35.480
<v Speaker 1>thank you, thank you so very much. I really appreciate it.

0:04:35.920 --> 0:04:40.240
<v Speaker 1>I read a review some author said Celine Dione has

0:04:40.360 --> 0:04:44.280
<v Speaker 1>moved on from her heartbreaking loss, and I want to

0:04:44.400 --> 0:04:46.520
<v Speaker 1>I want to call this person and say, you don't

0:04:46.640 --> 0:04:50.599
<v Speaker 1>move on when you lose the person that is your world.

0:04:50.640 --> 0:04:54.760
<v Speaker 1>You never move on. You learn to coexist with the pain,

0:04:54.839 --> 0:04:59.280
<v Speaker 1>but you don't move on. Well, I think you move

0:04:59.400 --> 0:05:03.200
<v Speaker 1>on in a way that you try to live with them. Differently,

0:05:03.320 --> 0:05:07.040
<v Speaker 1>you don't move on. I mean, it only depends the

0:05:07.080 --> 0:05:10.960
<v Speaker 1>way that you see and you're here and you uh

0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:16.080
<v Speaker 1>one the meaning of the word itself. Um, it's like

0:05:16.760 --> 0:05:20.320
<v Speaker 1>some people say a new chapter of a book or

0:05:20.360 --> 0:05:24.080
<v Speaker 1>a new book, or turn the page. I mean I

0:05:24.160 --> 0:05:29.400
<v Speaker 1>had to move on to not sob every day for

0:05:29.440 --> 0:05:33.080
<v Speaker 1>the sake of my children. I'm a single mom. I

0:05:33.160 --> 0:05:35.680
<v Speaker 1>still love to sing from my fans. I have to

0:05:35.720 --> 0:05:39.520
<v Speaker 1>show them courage, I have to show them independence. I

0:05:39.600 --> 0:05:43.359
<v Speaker 1>have to show them everything that I in my power

0:05:44.000 --> 0:05:48.480
<v Speaker 1>to tell them that to stand for themselves. And they

0:05:48.520 --> 0:05:51.919
<v Speaker 1>have a voice and they have inner strength. And I

0:05:52.000 --> 0:05:54.880
<v Speaker 1>have three boys, three boys, and two of them just

0:05:54.960 --> 0:05:59.120
<v Speaker 1>had your twins, just had a birthday recently. Yes, actually

0:05:59.200 --> 0:06:02.400
<v Speaker 1>my twins they just turned nine years old. So you

0:06:02.520 --> 0:06:06.160
<v Speaker 1>move on in a way that, um, you just learn

0:06:06.240 --> 0:06:08.880
<v Speaker 1>how to live differently with the person that's not next

0:06:08.880 --> 0:06:11.960
<v Speaker 1>to you. But he's in with with within you, he's

0:06:12.000 --> 0:06:15.480
<v Speaker 1>within you, he's within your boys. He's Yeah. And I

0:06:15.520 --> 0:06:18.680
<v Speaker 1>see Renee through the eyes of my children every day.

0:06:19.120 --> 0:06:25.400

<v Speaker 1>kids today they're thirteen years old, they already have girlfriends.

0:06:43.480 --> 0:06:45.320
<v Speaker 1>What do you think about that? Yeah, I don't. I

0:06:45.400 --> 0:06:47.960
<v Speaker 1>don't let my kids date that young eighteen years old.

0:06:48.760 --> 0:06:53.359
<v Speaker 1>And um, and he has a wonderful girlfriend, Alexa, and

<v Speaker 1>she's beautiful and she's she's so good with him, and

0:06:58.040 --> 0:07:00.760
<v Speaker 1>she's so good with the twins. And you know, it's

0:07:00.839 --> 0:07:05.840
<v Speaker 1>like I I I want him to to find love.

0:07:06.000 --> 0:07:08.040
<v Speaker 1>I want him. I mean, it doesn't mean that they'll

<v Speaker 1>get married and that's gonna be the they're gonna be

0:07:10.440 --> 0:07:12.160
<v Speaker 1>together for the rest of their lives. Which at the

0:07:12.200 --> 0:07:14.640
<v Speaker 1>same time, it's like you hope, but at the same time,

0:07:14.720 --> 0:07:18.800
<v Speaker 1>let's enjoy life and discover and it's spread your wings

0:07:18.880 --> 0:07:21.320
<v Speaker 1>and and and but at the same time, it's like

0:07:22.000 --> 0:07:24.080
<v Speaker 1>when you want to know if the person is is

0:07:24.240 --> 0:07:27.080
<v Speaker 1>nice as nice because she's she's pretty outside, it comes

0:07:27.120 --> 0:07:30.360
<v Speaker 1>inside out, and you know, like not too long ago,

0:07:30.480 --> 0:07:34.080
<v Speaker 1>she was she came home and she she she got

0:07:34.280 --> 0:07:37.000
<v Speaker 1>r c you know, outside with the twins. She brought

<v Speaker 1>I want you to do. This is your brother. Let's go.

0:07:42.080 --> 0:07:45.840
<v Speaker 1>And they were carving pumpkins and they were playing basketball.

0:07:45.880 --> 0:07:48.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying to myself, oh my god, I would have

0:07:48.320 --> 0:07:52.680
<v Speaker 1>asked him to carve pumpkins with his brother's and would say, mom,

0:07:52.680 --> 0:07:55.040
<v Speaker 1>come on, I've passed the age of doing that. You know,

0:07:55.080 --> 0:07:58.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm not doing that, you know, but the girlfriend mentions it. Girlfriend,

0:07:58.920 --> 0:08:01.440
<v Speaker 1>she said, no, no, no, no, no, no, we're doing this.

0:08:01.600 --> 0:08:03.520

<v Speaker 1>butt them sweaters and they that's all the only sweater

0:08:13.560 --> 0:08:18.640
<v Speaker 1>that they wear now. So they basically basically my three

0:08:18.680 --> 0:08:22.560
<v Speaker 1>boys are in love. The girlfriend. It sounds like all

0:08:22.600 --> 0:08:26.720
<v Speaker 1>three of them are in love with her, all three

0:08:26.760 --> 0:08:30.680
<v Speaker 1>of them. We took a short cut. I don't know

0:08:30.720 --> 0:08:32.800
<v Speaker 1>if you remember. Many years ago, I came to see

0:08:32.800 --> 0:08:36.360
<v Speaker 1>you in Vegas and your oldest son R. C was

0:08:36.440 --> 0:08:40.080
<v Speaker 1>a baby and was back in the dressing room and

0:08:40.160 --> 0:08:44.079
<v Speaker 1>I got to hold him and play with him after

0:08:44.160 --> 0:08:47.960
<v Speaker 1>your performance, and he was such a happy, happy baby.

0:08:48.040 --> 0:08:51.240
<v Speaker 1>And now you're going on tour. That was when that

0:08:51.320 --> 0:08:53.440
<v Speaker 1>was many years ago. You're going on tour. Now are

0:08:53.480 --> 0:08:56.000
<v Speaker 1>the boys touring with you? Are they staying at home?

0:08:56.480 --> 0:08:58.720
<v Speaker 1>What are you gonna always? They've always been with me,

0:08:58.800 --> 0:09:02.079
<v Speaker 1>They've always been touring as me. It's the first time

0:09:02.120 --> 0:09:06.679
<v Speaker 1>actually that I did not bring my children. First of all,

0:09:06.800 --> 0:09:10.360
<v Speaker 1>my son. My three children are home schooled. My son

0:09:10.480 --> 0:09:13.559
<v Speaker 1>has a girlfriend and he didn't really want to, um

0:09:14.280 --> 0:09:18.559
<v Speaker 1>go on tour. It was heartbreaking. But at the same time, UM,

0:09:18.600 --> 0:09:21.000
<v Speaker 1>I have to tell you that this store, the way

0:09:21.000 --> 0:09:24.960
<v Speaker 1>that it's been arranged is that we don't usually we based.

0:09:25.000 --> 0:09:28.000
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna base like two months, three months, uh, in

0:09:28.120 --> 0:09:30.920
<v Speaker 1>one hotel in one city in one country, and then

0:09:30.920 --> 0:09:34.160
<v Speaker 1>I will take the plane and I will just like

0:09:34.640 --> 0:09:38.200
<v Speaker 1>travel back and forth. But this this time. It's like

0:09:38.720 --> 0:09:42.720
<v Speaker 1>one show, after the show, go to the airplane next day,

0:09:42.880 --> 0:09:45.800

<v Speaker 1>up on show, one day up on show, one day

0:09:47.160 --> 0:09:49.200

<v Speaker 1>It makes me feel good knowing that they're good. If

0:10:49.640 --> 0:10:52.360
<v Speaker 1>my kids are good, I can go on stage and

0:10:52.440 --> 0:10:55.240
<v Speaker 1>do my my singing and and and have a good

0:10:55.240 --> 0:10:57.520
<v Speaker 1>time with my fans because I know that my kids

0:10:57.760 --> 0:11:00.520
<v Speaker 1>are well taking care of the god mother there is

0:11:00.640 --> 0:11:04.280
<v Speaker 1>my sister Linda. For my three children. I know they're

0:11:04.320 --> 0:11:08.960
<v Speaker 1>in good hands their home, they're safe, and I miss them,

0:11:09.040 --> 0:11:12.040
<v Speaker 1>of course. But you know the hardest thing to do

0:11:12.080 --> 0:11:15.680
<v Speaker 1>is that sometimes you have to what's what's the best

0:11:15.720 --> 0:11:17.880
<v Speaker 1>for them. It's not just you what's good for me.

0:11:18.000 --> 0:11:20.640
<v Speaker 1>I only keep them with me all the time. But

0:11:20.800 --> 0:11:23.720
<v Speaker 1>they need to learn and they need to It's hard

0:11:23.760 --> 0:11:25.840
<v Speaker 1>because you try to teach them how to fly, but

0:11:25.880 --> 0:11:28.120
<v Speaker 1>you never want them to take off. So it's like

0:11:28.440 --> 0:11:32.160
<v Speaker 1>it's very difficult. But you know what, I really I

0:11:32.240 --> 0:11:34.800
<v Speaker 1>don't have a hard time because I know they haven't

0:11:35.240 --> 0:11:38.600
<v Speaker 1>a blast right now. So you you you are giving

0:11:38.640 --> 0:11:42.520
<v Speaker 1>them roots so that they know that they are grounded,

0:11:43.120 --> 0:11:47.199
<v Speaker 1>and you're giving them wings to fly. The apple. The

0:11:47.520 --> 0:11:51.520
<v Speaker 1>apples did not fall far from the trees. Because those

0:11:51.640 --> 0:11:55.080
<v Speaker 1>munchkins of mine, they love music, they dress up every day,

0:11:55.200 --> 0:12:00.000
<v Speaker 1>they love fashion, they play all the time. Carrie, Okay,

0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:03.360
<v Speaker 1>here we go. Oh my gosh, you should see they

0:12:03.400 --> 0:12:06.679
<v Speaker 1>send me pictures. I'm like, are they serious? I mean

0:12:07.160 --> 0:12:09.959
<v Speaker 1>they're they're dressing up to go to bed. And I'm

0:12:10.000 --> 0:12:13.160
<v Speaker 1>telling my sister, it's okay, it's who cares, It's fine,

0:12:13.679 --> 0:12:17.600
<v Speaker 1>care good boys. They fall asleep with a top hat

0:12:17.679 --> 0:12:21.480
<v Speaker 1>like a big big hat and cowboy boots and and

0:12:21.520 --> 0:12:25.520
<v Speaker 1>like a penguin off it who can't? And then when

0:12:25.520 --> 0:12:27.920
<v Speaker 1>they fall asleep she undressed them and makes them more

0:12:27.960 --> 0:12:31.000
<v Speaker 1>more comfortable. But when they watch a movie, they want

0:12:31.000 --> 0:12:34.199
<v Speaker 1>to be the character. You should see their closet to

0:12:34.280 --> 0:12:38.920
<v Speaker 1>get dressed. If you think I have clothes, they have clothes. Selen,

0:12:38.920 --> 0:12:41.400
<v Speaker 1>you are an amazing mother. I love the fact that

0:12:41.440 --> 0:12:45.240
<v Speaker 1>you encourage your children to find and follow their own

0:12:45.400 --> 0:12:48.760
<v Speaker 1>creative pathways. When we come back, I want to spend

0:12:48.760 --> 0:12:53.000
<v Speaker 1>a few minutes talking about the song Imperfections, which really

0:12:53.080 --> 0:12:56.080
<v Speaker 1>resonated with me. But right now we need to pause

0:12:56.160 --> 0:12:59.840
<v Speaker 1>for this important message. Today we have the great pre

0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:03.320
<v Speaker 1>viledge of sharing a little time with miss Celine Dion.

0:13:03.679 --> 0:13:06.440
<v Speaker 1>Thank you so much. I wanted to talk about you know,

0:13:06.480 --> 0:13:09.120
<v Speaker 1>you've got this fashion. Since you you're at the Met,

0:13:09.240 --> 0:13:12.280
<v Speaker 1>You're at these fashion shows and yet you are so

0:13:12.600 --> 0:13:16.000
<v Speaker 1>stinking down to earth and humble. And the song that

0:13:16.080 --> 0:13:20.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm playing on my show right now, Imperfections, talks about that.

0:13:20.760 --> 0:13:24.840
<v Speaker 1>And in the video you you you bear it all.

0:13:25.040 --> 0:13:28.119
<v Speaker 1>You you wipe the makeup off and there you are

0:13:28.160 --> 0:13:32.560
<v Speaker 1>in all your reality. Was Was that your idea to

0:13:32.679 --> 0:13:35.679
<v Speaker 1>do the song that way? Yeah? I wanted to do

0:13:35.720 --> 0:13:39.880
<v Speaker 1>this for a long time actually, and um, I asked

0:13:39.960 --> 0:13:43.400
<v Speaker 1>them if they would allow please give me keep some

0:13:43.480 --> 0:13:47.199
<v Speaker 1>time and some tape and some some sometime during that

0:13:47.280 --> 0:13:51.000
<v Speaker 1>day of shooting. I really want to because we all

0:13:51.040 --> 0:13:55.360
<v Speaker 1>have imperfections. Nobody is perfect in this world. Um. And

0:13:55.520 --> 0:13:59.320
<v Speaker 1>for me, is that because I love fashion so much,

0:13:59.400 --> 0:14:01.719
<v Speaker 1>because I or roal characters when I'm on stage and

0:14:01.760 --> 0:14:04.120
<v Speaker 1>I pretend that I'm like this and that, and with

0:14:04.160 --> 0:14:06.679
<v Speaker 1>the songs that I'm singing, and I'm you know, like

0:14:07.640 --> 0:14:11.240
<v Speaker 1>if we're playing, we're doing music. I mean, I'm doing this,

0:14:11.760 --> 0:14:16.440
<v Speaker 1>uh professionally, but I don't take myself seriously. I'm having

0:14:16.440 --> 0:14:21.480
<v Speaker 1>a good time. I'm playing. Um. But when I wanted

0:14:21.600 --> 0:14:27.480
<v Speaker 1>also that message that everyone has imperfections, but the interfections

0:14:28.280 --> 0:14:32.560
<v Speaker 1>you have to to to kind of feel to accept

0:14:32.640 --> 0:14:37.720
<v Speaker 1>that because nobody is perfect, and for me it's that, Okay,

0:14:37.760 --> 0:14:41.680
<v Speaker 1>I should have done that at well, what is it

0:14:41.720 --> 0:14:45.000
<v Speaker 1>going to be proven? What? Okay, that's fine, that's fine,

0:14:45.280 --> 0:14:48.600
<v Speaker 1>but it's happening now. And I really wanted to um

0:14:49.240 --> 0:14:52.000
<v Speaker 1>do it and it was the right timing, the right song,

0:14:52.880 --> 0:14:57.040
<v Speaker 1>and nobody is perfect. And I wanted to have a

0:14:57.080 --> 0:15:01.480
<v Speaker 1>message for the women who, maybe so Madame, have a

0:15:01.480 --> 0:15:07.160
<v Speaker 1>hard time to accept that they're a little like this

0:15:07.440 --> 0:15:11.000
<v Speaker 1>or a little they're getting the aging or whatever whatever

0:15:11.080 --> 0:15:15.720
<v Speaker 1>they feel sometimes not very um a self esteem about

0:15:15.760 --> 0:15:21.120
<v Speaker 1>themselves and knowing that nobody is perfect, you have you

0:15:21.200 --> 0:15:24.080
<v Speaker 1>have to love yourself the way you are with if

0:15:24.360 --> 0:15:27.600
<v Speaker 1>you know. And and I'm not against people who go

0:15:27.680 --> 0:15:30.400
<v Speaker 1>and try to want to try to fix some some

0:15:30.640 --> 0:15:34.480
<v Speaker 1>with whatever things there is out there, um to go

0:15:34.560 --> 0:15:37.440
<v Speaker 1>to doctors and fix things if it makes them feel better,

0:15:38.280 --> 0:15:41.960
<v Speaker 1>and I encourage that, and that's fine, but it's also

0:15:42.160 --> 0:15:49.480
<v Speaker 1>okay that time our youth was great, and also at

0:15:49.560 --> 0:15:53.240
<v Speaker 1>my age is wonderful because it brings you knowledge, and

0:15:53.320 --> 0:15:56.840
<v Speaker 1>because I have children and they will keep going and

0:15:56.880 --> 0:15:59.720
<v Speaker 1>I will have more to show and I will have

0:15:59.800 --> 0:16:04.680
<v Speaker 1>more more things to discover. But I wanted the women

0:16:04.720 --> 0:16:08.920
<v Speaker 1>to know that, Hey, we all have our imperfections, but

0:16:09.120 --> 0:16:13.160
<v Speaker 1>are they really imperfections? No, it is who you are.

0:16:13.560 --> 0:16:17.840
<v Speaker 1>I love the line. I've got my own set of

0:16:17.960 --> 0:16:23.200
<v Speaker 1>scars to hide, and I think all of us have

0:16:23.400 --> 0:16:28.200
<v Speaker 1>those emotional scars that we try to hide from our childhood,

0:16:28.280 --> 0:16:33.800
<v Speaker 1>or from mistakes we've made, or from abandonment, or from grief.

0:16:34.720 --> 0:16:37.840
<v Speaker 1>But it seems like in this tour and these songs

0:16:37.840 --> 0:16:41.400
<v Speaker 1>that I'm listening to, you're not hiding those scars. You're

0:16:41.440 --> 0:16:44.720
<v Speaker 1>sharing them and saying, it's okay, We're all in this together.

0:16:44.800 --> 0:16:48.880
<v Speaker 1>It's okay, it's okay, Okay, you have to assume yourself

0:16:48.920 --> 0:16:51.840
<v Speaker 1>and it's okay, and it's gonna it's gonna be fine.

0:16:52.000 --> 0:16:54.760
<v Speaker 1>Let's let's just just grow one day at a time.

0:16:54.800 --> 0:16:57.800
<v Speaker 1>It's going to be okay. We have strength, we were women,

0:16:57.840 --> 0:17:02.000
<v Speaker 1>were strong, we raised darn we just we here we are.

0:17:02.480 --> 0:17:06.920
<v Speaker 1>Let's go. M hmm. That's good. It can't hold your

0:17:06.960 --> 0:17:11.320
<v Speaker 1>heart while I'm fixing mine. A great line, and I

0:17:11.359 --> 0:17:14.000
<v Speaker 1>ain't gonna save you. I love that line. How many

0:17:14.040 --> 0:17:17.480
<v Speaker 1>times did I earn into relationships when I was younger

0:17:17.520 --> 0:17:20.600
<v Speaker 1>thinking I was going to save someone from their addictions,

0:17:20.640 --> 0:17:23.560
<v Speaker 1>from their bad choices. Thank God I outgrew that phase,

0:17:24.040 --> 0:17:26.879
<v Speaker 1>but I want my daughters and other young women to

0:17:27.000 --> 0:17:34.399
<v Speaker 1>hear that and recognize it. Your job ain't to save somebody, baby, Oh,

0:17:34.680 --> 0:17:36.960
<v Speaker 1>your job is to be the best that you can be.

0:17:37.560 --> 0:17:41.800
<v Speaker 1>So Um, I know that you Selene have your own organization,

0:17:41.920 --> 0:17:46.160
<v Speaker 1>your own philanthropic organization. And my producer Janie said Delilah,

0:17:46.240 --> 0:17:49.520
<v Speaker 1>basically she gives to everybody and is trying to save

0:17:49.600 --> 0:17:53.160
<v Speaker 1>the world with her goodness. And that really that really

0:17:53.200 --> 0:17:55.280
<v Speaker 1>touched me. What are some of the projects that you

0:17:55.320 --> 0:18:01.119
<v Speaker 1>are really pouring your heart into. Well, actually, um, I

0:18:01.160 --> 0:18:04.920
<v Speaker 1>do have a foundation, and I try to help um

0:18:04.960 --> 0:18:09.159
<v Speaker 1>a lot of children, so uh young children to uh

0:18:09.359 --> 0:18:14.240
<v Speaker 1>um um the godmother of theistic fibrosis. UM. Actually and

0:18:14.240 --> 0:18:17.399
<v Speaker 1>and I have my own foundation to which I raised

0:18:17.800 --> 0:18:22.359
<v Speaker 1>money to to help six children. We have us some

0:18:22.640 --> 0:18:26.639
<v Speaker 1>in our family here carries the gene and we lost

0:18:26.680 --> 0:18:30.480
<v Speaker 1>one of our niece, my sister's daughter. She was sixteen

0:18:30.560 --> 0:18:35.919
<v Speaker 1>years old. And when I was asked to participate and

0:18:36.680 --> 0:18:40.400
<v Speaker 1>to try to raise some money. Eventually after that, I

0:18:40.480 --> 0:18:43.800
<v Speaker 1>wanted to be more involved and try to have my

0:18:43.840 --> 0:18:47.760
<v Speaker 1>own UM, my own foundation to try to help even

0:18:47.760 --> 0:18:52.119
<v Speaker 1>more um And and Also, it's just that UM not

0:18:52.200 --> 0:18:55.439
<v Speaker 1>only to be the spokesperson for St. Justine, which is

0:18:55.440 --> 0:18:59.680
<v Speaker 1>a the hospital of children in Montreal. UM. But the

0:18:59.800 --> 0:19:03.040
<v Speaker 1>thing is, the thing is that I think it's a

0:19:03.040 --> 0:19:07.080
<v Speaker 1>a responsibility of human beings too. If we can try

0:19:07.119 --> 0:19:10.120
<v Speaker 1>to help, if we see somebody struggling, if we can

0:19:10.200 --> 0:19:12.159
<v Speaker 1>try to help, to be part of a foundation and

0:19:12.240 --> 0:19:15.000
<v Speaker 1>raise some money, we don't even have to think about this.

0:19:15.080 --> 0:19:17.000
<v Speaker 1>We don't even have to talk about this. I don't.

0:19:17.200 --> 0:19:19.240
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to talk about that because it's like

0:19:19.560 --> 0:19:22.679
<v Speaker 1>it's normal, it's natural. I want to say, yes, I

0:19:22.720 --> 0:19:25.080
<v Speaker 1>have my foundation and I give a lot of money

0:19:25.119 --> 0:19:28.679
<v Speaker 1>to I mean, it's true. But at the same time,

0:19:29.480 --> 0:19:32.280
<v Speaker 1>I think it's just normal. I mean, the fans have

0:19:32.480 --> 0:19:35.880
<v Speaker 1>given me all through those years an amazing life. I'm

0:19:35.920 --> 0:19:37.960
<v Speaker 1>trying to raise my children the best way I can,

0:19:38.880 --> 0:19:43.560
<v Speaker 1>and I'm fortunate enough to have um an extraordinary life.

0:19:44.000 --> 0:19:46.800
<v Speaker 1>In the least that I can do is to pay

0:19:46.840 --> 0:19:51.119
<v Speaker 1>back in the best way that I can, and to

0:19:51.119 --> 0:19:54.640
<v Speaker 1>to raise some money for people who are struggling and

0:19:54.680 --> 0:19:56.720
<v Speaker 1>the kids who are having a hard time, who might

0:19:56.760 --> 0:20:00.360
<v Speaker 1>not have a future, to whom much is given, much

0:20:00.600 --> 0:20:05.560
<v Speaker 1>is required. You have been blessed richly, and as a result,

0:20:06.400 --> 0:20:10.120
<v Speaker 1>you give richly. You're so sweet, Thank you so much,

0:20:11.280 --> 0:20:14.399
<v Speaker 1>thank you so much. You know what, in life, you

0:20:14.440 --> 0:20:17.280
<v Speaker 1>don't want to be a taker, you want to be

0:20:17.359 --> 0:20:20.560
<v Speaker 1>a giver. I definitely want to be a giver. And

0:20:20.600 --> 0:20:24.840
<v Speaker 1>you have given so much beautiful music to the world, Selene,

0:20:24.840 --> 0:20:28.240
<v Speaker 1>and I am so excited for your tour. I don't

0:20:28.280 --> 0:20:31.680
<v Speaker 1>know how you do it. I looked over your schedule

0:20:31.840 --> 0:20:35.280
<v Speaker 1>and it's a crazy schedule. I would love to. I

0:20:35.320 --> 0:20:38.280
<v Speaker 1>would love to. I may find the courage to come

0:20:38.280 --> 0:20:42.000
<v Speaker 1>and see you on my son's birthday. Yeah, I'll be around, darling.

0:20:42.200 --> 0:20:44.040
<v Speaker 1>And you know what, thank you so much for playing

0:20:44.040 --> 0:20:46.800
<v Speaker 1>my music for so long. I really really appreciate it.

0:20:47.119 --> 0:20:49.520
<v Speaker 1>And we'll see each other again really real soon. Okay,

0:20:49.720 --> 0:20:54.560
<v Speaker 1>all right, God bless you. I love you, Love you. Bubbye, honey, Bubby.

0:20:55.119 --> 0:21:00.359
<v Speaker 1>How amazingly fortunate are we? Blessed? Are we just spend

0:21:00.600 --> 0:21:05.439
<v Speaker 1>time with a musical icon. Selene is talented, she's beautiful,

0:21:05.600 --> 0:21:11.280
<v Speaker 1>she's kind, and she is very very courageous. If her show,

0:21:11.359 --> 0:21:14.159
<v Speaker 1>The Courage World Tour comes to a city near you,

0:21:14.320 --> 0:21:17.840
<v Speaker 1>I encourage you to get tickets and go. But until then,

0:21:18.080 --> 0:21:31.240
<v Speaker 1>I encourage you to slow down and love someone,
