My life contains so many other things; I have my children, my grandchildren, my two dogs and a big place in the country. I have my own life.

I have always had strong maternal instincts. Even when I was still a child I cut out pictures of prams from newspapers and imagined the feeling of pushing my own pram through fresh winter snow and seeing the wheels' tracks behind me in the snow.

It's strange that the newspapers don't see a connection between their false revelations about my private life and my need for seclusion and security.

I must be allowed to be as I am.

I just want to live in peace and quiet.

When I was 15 I became a full-time singer in a band. At 18 I made my first record.

My path has not been determined. I shall have more experiences and pass many more milestones.
