room, privacy, having my “stuff” ready and in place, and I have a simple list of drinks and snacks, depending on the length of the performance. JB: What do fans do that is your biggest distraction while you are performing? CELESTE: I can’t think of anything, when I am on stage I enjoy performing and if the fans participate, I love it. I can’t think of anything. JB: If you could sing a duet with one person, who would that person be and why? I have always been a big fan of MAROON 5 and wanted to sing with them. I hope I will get to do that sometime. CELESTE: I enjoy EMINEM and would love to have a duet with him. JB: At what point in your career will you step back and say to yourself "I've made it". Or have you reached that point already? I'm not talking about slacking off or slowing down, but from a purely personal accomplishment goal. CELESTE: I think that it will be decades until I can say that. I feel that there is such a long journey ahead of me, and I am only at the beginning. I love writing and performing and I love the experience of moving forward with every new album. Music is part of my life and as long as I grow and mature and develop in my personal life, I will be doing the same with my musical career. Although an American, I have only been in the U.S. for a short time. But the fans as well as the radio and TV stations that I have visited have been extremely welcoming and supportive. It is very heartwarming. I like to take this opportunity to thank everyone and hope to be able to produce music that they enjoy, which will make their day a little brighter and happier. Thank you for having me!
