Mireille Mathieu Quotes
“LOVE in capital letters is important. It is impossible to live without love. You must have the feeling of being loved. All artists need love – from the audience, friends and relatives. But true and faithful friends are exceptionally rare.” ~ Mireille Mathieu
“Who is happy with his appearance? I find many drawbacks of myself. But, each time when I visit Lourdes, I receive a lesson of reconciliation. When you see ill people or invalids around, you realize that it is a sin to complain!” ~ Mireille Mathieu
“When I’am recording a disk or going out on the stage, I’am agitated just the same like for the first time. I arrive at the theatre four hours before the beginning of the performance. I must get accustomed to the hall even if I know it well. The most remarkable moment is when you go out on the stage and you hear the applause of the audience!” ~ Mireille Mathieu
