Im grateful for each day you gave me. I had your love I had it all. You stood by me and I stood tall. You said no star was out of reach.

But I'm pretty sure I caught her when she was peaking vocally. I ran to the piano, got some musicians, did a demo, played it for Whitney, and she just loved it.I don't profess to say "The Bodyguard" was her best album ever, because she made so many great records. The whole arrangement and arc of what I did production-wise just unfolded in my head in real time.
And she didn't find it funny. She was like, "What?!" Because Whitney was really in one of the other studios (nearby).Q: What's a song you heard recently that you wish you'd written?Foster: I love the (Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande) song "Rain On Me." It's so '70s disco, and it's just great. Because she's French-Canadian, there was a little bit of a language barrier and some of the humor didn't translate completely. And that song just resonated with everybody.Q: While recording "All By Myself," did you really tell Celine Dion that you'd bring Whitney into the studio to hold the high note if she couldn't?Foster: It was awful humor. I'm sure she was always like that, but I caught her when her voice had just matured to the essence of who she is and was.
Celine Dion Because You Loved Me Full Potential Yet
And all the guys from One Direction have done great.Q: You get candid in the documentary about your “grass is always greener” attitude in past marriages, and your successes and shortcomings as a dad. Shawn Mendes. I remember hearing his name at Disney five years ago and they're going like, "This kid's going to be big," and I was like, "I'm not sure." (Mendes auditioned for the Disney Channel as a younger teen.) Then as I watched him grow musically, it was phenomenal. I don't think he's reached his full potential yet – he's a real talent.
I've known her for 15 years and they've known her that long as well. Was that pretty immediate, or did they ever express any discomfort about the age difference to you?Foster: No, they've known Katharine like I have. We're all great, we have a great relationship, but it was tough for them for me to be gone a lot (growing up).Q: Your daughters seem to have strong, supportive relationships with Katharine.
But there are so many things that can bring a marriage down: It can be financial, it can be children, it can be geography, it can be infidelity. Look, we have haters on social media and there's not a person around that's not going to make some comment about the age difference. It's been years now with no animosity and no problems, and I have no reason to believe that'll change at all.Q: You say your relationship with Katharine is "a strange pairing, but it works for us." Why do you think it works?Foster: Well, we have that musical connection.
What do you hope your legacy is?Foster: If people are going to say anything about me at all, I'd like them just to say, "He did his best." I don't know if that shows in the documentary or not, but I really think that I did my best given the tools I had, both emotionally and musically. Everything else is in line, so it's not going to bring us down.Q: At the end of the film, you say how death is the one unavoidable thing but the one we're all the least prepared for.
