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.

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!

Performing live is not my favourite. I am more of a recording person; I prefer to be private. I didn't mind doing videos, even if they came very close with the camera. I can take that, but walking on stage in concert and singing live, that is a bit difficult.

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 like to keep my private life private.

Celebrity damages private life.
