"It's pretty amazing how we can survive with no sleep. Actually, my little boy right now, Rene-Charles, has a little -- he's a little sick, he's got a little fever and he's got some stuff going on, so I want to be there and I want to take care of him and at the same time we're breastfeeding the babies every 2 1/2 hours. And no, let me -- let me rephrase that, we are not breastfeeding the baby. I am breastfeeding the babies. So it's like there's not a lot of sleep. Every 2 1/2 hours. And then we're not counting the rest. I mean, sometimes I have 25 minutes left. Do I shower, do I eat or do I sleep? It's up to me. It's still up to me for that part. But it's a great challenge. It's very, very tiring. It's full of surprises. But it's all with love. And it's all amazing. All day, I'm in my pajamas. Sometimes I forget to really close it well. So it's -- it's overwhelming.

And Ken Erlich will be the director of the show who's been doing the Grammys, you know, for more than 30 years. And actually, it's just wonderful to get ideas again. Every time you think, I'm going to run out of ideas at one point but no, everybody gets together, and we have ideas and we're going to be with 31 musicians on stage and, for me, I mean, there's much more than that, but just this itself. Thirty-one musicians for a singer, it's a dream come true. I mean, you might have that once in a while in a recording studio. But every night on stage with you? It's going to be hard for me to spend my time like not looking back too many times. You know to have my back against the people and go back and notice the crowd and the same time as all those wonderful orchestra. So I'm looking forward to go back and perform again. I'm thrilled. And there's going to be a lot of surprises and effects and I'm very, very happy."
"I'm not going on the ski slope again for -- that's it. I've had five years of that. It was magnificent. But it's been very, very difficult for the spine, for the neck, for the body, for the voice itself actually. So no, actually, when I ended Las Vegas with "A New Day," they had put it back straight. So they kept it straight. And we made sure they did. And I'm looking forward to perform on a flat and smooth surface. I'm looking forward to experience that."
