But I don't want to be out there anymore; I don't want people asking me about my health issues, about my kids. I choose not to be a public paparazzi girl on purpose.

My ideal kinda guy, if I was really gonna go there even though he's married, is Mark Wahlberg. To me he's a little black and white, the kinda guy who would understand if I pull my weave out.

I felt that putting my all into the relationship would have taken me away from my career. And I couldn't do that then.

I think that once an artist has proven herself and you sell lots of records, you should be compensated.

I've been advised not to have any more children for medical reasons, so that's it - the shop has closed, even though I would have loved a daughter.

In a broken marriage, it can be challenging and tough to get that work/life balance. I love performing but I also love being a mum, and I hate having to choose between them.

I don't smoke often, maybe once or twice a month, but it makes me feel sexy and romantic.
