Question from Pam: If you were asked to put one of your albums in a time capsule, which one would it be and why?
Cher: I actually don't think it would be any one particular album, I would make a compilation, picking my favourite singles.
Question from Carolina: I live in Chile and I want to know that if you could turn the clock back, would you change anything on your life?
Cher: Yes, I guess if I had the opportunity to change some things, I would but
before I did I'd have sit down and make a really long list of what was import to change. I
think some things I did with my children some decisions I made about them I might change,
And I might have taken more vacations. There are a few things that I think are really
important but they're too important to talk about on the Internet.
Question from Hayley: Which person do you most admire and why?
Cher: Well, I admire people more like Winston Churchill people who helped smuggle slaves out of the South, Harriet Tubman. I admire people who did important things more than I really admire movie stars or singers. I admire those people's work but when you think of all the people you could admire movie stars are just doing a job. Not that a lot of people aren't admirable, you know. Take Tina Turner I admire that Tina has been able to overcome a lot of adversity and she's a really good person and a great entertainer. We've kept in touch for the last twenty-something years. I think that a woman that came from a
hard background and still was having a lot of adversity to face in her life and remained a good person those are things that you admire. People admire people for the wrong reasons a lot of the time, I think. You could admire someone's beauty but they didn't have anything to do with that it's a momentary thing. I admire people's spirit.
Question from Darla: What do your fans mean to you and what impact have they made on your life?
Cher: Well, your fans are kind of like a kind of strange extended version of your family because, you know, they stand behind you and give you support. And a lot of the time they give you support when what you're doing isn't that successful. Your fans give you the courage to keep going.
Question from Victoria: Are you still in touch with friends that you grew up around?
Cher: I've had friends I've known for my whole life that I still see and talk to friends that I've had for twenty, thirty years.
Question from Tine: What is the strangest thing you've ever heard about yourself?
Cher: Oh God... that I was dating my sister! It was in the Enquirer or Star one of those ridiculous rag magazines. Another, that Elvis is paying my alimony.
Question from Sarah Mills: Do you write your own songs?
Cher: I don't usually I mean, I wrote part of "Believe" the second verse. The first verse was saying that this woman was sad that this guy was going, and the second verse was saying the same thing so I changed it on the spot! I wrote most of the songs for the album, Not Commercial.
Question from Joanna Rubis: Do you feel that you have any challenges in your life and how do you cope with adversity?
Cher: I have lots of challenges in my life just to keep going every day, to continue being fresh, excited, interested and not just focus on yourself you know, try to divide your time between doing stuff for yourself and family and charity. It takes a lot of time. I worked really hard for the Democratic Convention, I was exhausted at the end of it. I always think I'm a lazy person that does a lot.
