On staying in the spotlight:

“I feel like a bumper car. If I hit a wall, I’m backing up and going in another direction. And I’ve hit plenty of f—–g walls in my career. But I’m not stopping. I think maybe that’s my best quality: I just don’t stop.” 

On working with Christina Aguilera: 

“The scenes that she and I had together I really enjoyed, and I really believe that she’s got definite chops. We worked well together. I enjoyed all of it, and she was toe-to-toe with me the whole time.” 

On what’s next: 

“There’s the opportunity to go on a tour, and yet I’m not so sure that that’s something I want to do immediately because I’ve been working for a long time. I did like working on this film so much that I really would like to do another film.

Cher was born in California to an Armenian father and a mother of Cherokee, English and French descent. She has been singing and recording music since the early 60s.
