She's a multi-platinum pop princess—the No. 1-selling female singer of all time. But Shania Twain hasn't forgotten her roots. She grew up in poverty, her family barely scraping up enough money for food and clothing. And when both her parents were killed in a car crash when she was 22, she dropped her dreams of becoming famous to care for her three younger siblings.

Oprah: Now, you're bigger than life—did you ever imagine all of this for yourself?

Shania: I always dreamed, of course, that music would pay my bills someday and that I wouldn't have to starve and be cold and all those things. And I was determined to achieve that. Once I'd achieved that, the rest almost didn't matter to me anymore.
