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 am fed up with men who use sex like a sleeping pill.

It sometimes makes me feel sexy to wear something revealing. But I have gone too far. I have to be honest about that.

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.

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

You lose the arrogance you need to be successful, but you need that arrogance because the second someone sees that side of you and chip at it, it's over.

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.
