My inspiration, I`ve had many, again, starting with Julie Andrews at a young age. But, growing up, I sang Whitney Houston songs in talent shows. But, when I discovered Mariah Carey and "Vision Of Love", that was a breath of fresh air and I adored her from that moment on and idolized her. It`s really amazing that in articles I`ve been compared to her. It`s truly unbelievable because, whenever I was younger, I would ask my mom, "Do you think I`ll ever be as big and sing as well as Mariah Carey?" And now that it has happened, my mom says, "I knew it would happen".
- Christina Aguilera(on Ron Perlman) Ron Perlman is a giving actor, with no pretensions. He`s wonderful to work with, full of ideas, and a truly gifted actor. When he came onto the production of Mr. Stitch (1995) (TV) the set literally lit up. Working with him was one of the bright moments of my career, and I would work with him again in a hot second. This must sound like I`m going overboard, but Ron has such an elegant, wonderful and bright personality that I honestly don`t think it`s an exaggeration. I mean, how often can you say that you`re a better person for having met someone?
