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.

My professional persona never loosens its grip, keeping an eye on me at all times.

When I'm living in the world of luxury and celebrity, which is where I found myself for a large part of my life, it's a walk-on part. Not a vital necessity, like it is for so many people. I enjoy it but I can see right through it!

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.

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

I have one pug and one Czechoslovakian dog called Prazsky krysarik.

It has always felt like a failure that Bjorn and I couldn't keep our family together. You never get it back, but to this day I don't regret splitting up. The reason behind our separation is one of those things I definitely don't want to go into!
