It's not that one minute I'm a pop artist and the next minute
I'm a country artist. I'm just who I am. I'm capable of making
the music sound however I want to make it sound."
-- Shania Twain
"My music is country with a lot of outside influences. it is a mix of a lot of different styles of music."
-- Shania Twain
"All I ever intended was to make a living at what I do. Everything I've achieved since then is above and beyond."
-- Shania Twain
"I don't have to worry about what people are thinking and what's going on in the industry. I don't want that stuff to influence what I'm doing. Because I think it stifles you creatively. I don't want to have to care too much about that. All I care about is what the fans think. It's really all I care about, honestly."
-- Shania Twain
"Without a doubt, the best way to get to know me is through my music."
--Shania Twain
"Music makes me feel good, it makes me feel sad,
it stimulates me and inspires me. It's like magic."
-- 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."
-- Shania Twain
"I find that the very things that I get criticized for, which is usually being different and just doing my own thing and just being original, is the very thing that's making me successful."
-- Shania Twain
"I'm not going to be somebody who wants to hold on to my fame for the rest of my life."
-- Shania Twain
"It makes me very excited to know that I might be in someone's record collection who has no other country records. And then at the same time, I'm in another record collection of people who just listen to country music and they wouldn't dare listen to anything else. They both have my record. I'm very flattered by that. Isn't it great that music can cross those boundaries?"
-- Shania Twain
"It's so easy to get flattered by everything that's going on around you. And it's okay to be flattered, but it's not okay to lose a true sense of humility. And it's hard. Sometimes you're trying to build your confidence and confidence comes from ego. In order to be really confident, and do a good job, it's kind of an ego thing. So, how do you do that and stay humble at the same time?... I think humility is the most important thing for me to remember."
-- Shania Twain
"Yes, you can lose somebody overnight, yes, your whole life can be turned upside down. Life is short. It can come and go like a feather in the wind."
-- Shania Twain
"So many people bare their midriffs, I don't know why mine is such an issue."
-- Shania Twain
"Women are strong, and women admire beauty just as much as men do. I'll tell you one thing, men are more intimidated by me than the women. I'm not kidding."
-- Shania Twain
"I can't compare myself to Shania Twain. Although everybody does because we came from the same place and our music has reached larger audiences. But listen, this is a woman who sold a bazillion, gazillion records, has broken every record in the book. And I, for one, as a woman in music, applaud that."
-- Faith Hill
"I've always defended Shania. She not only opened doors; she knocked several down"
-- Faith Hill
"She [Shania] brought a whole other fan base to country music with her sound, the way the videos were produced"
-- Faith Hill
"I don't think the (Dixie) Chicks have opened any doors for us. The biggest door opener for us has been Shania Twain and her style of country."
-- Kelsi (from SHeDaisy)
"A lot of people are accusing her of being packaged. But I don't think this is a marketing-driven artist. It's been her vision from the beginning -- all the clothes, all the looks, all the concepts."
-- Luke Lewis, President of Mercury Nashville
"I met her in France recently, and she was wearing jeans and a low cut top, and she is one hot little number. Too bad she's married."
-- Justin Timberlake, January 2003 Rolling Stone
