To me, the most poetic and intelligent way to bring up a subject is by showing very simply who you are and what you believe in.

I'm not really a femme fatale.

Marriage is another trap. If you are someone who likes independence, it's another stamp against that. And you have to swear to fidelity.

Now I'm not going to go, "Oh my God, what are people saying about me?" I had a choice to be a student and not become a model, and becoming a doctor was another one of my dreams. I had a choice between not becoming a singer or becoming a songwriter and writing behind the scenes; nobody would have seen me writing songs for other people. I had the choice of not marrying my man; we could have just been hidden lovers, but I couldn't cope with it. I had these choices to do all these things, so I'm not going to cry over a life which has been really lucky.

In reality, I don't see myself as a man hunter. In fact, when it comes to love, I am rarely the one to make the first move.

I care about writing music and playing my music.

I think it would be shocking for me to pretend not to have any past. And also, it would be a lie.
