The press has always written that I am a recluse and a mysterious woman, but I am more down-to-earth than they think.

I am uninterested in appearing in newspapers and on television. Many people think I am striking a pose - that I want to create a sense of shyness. But it's just not something I want to do. I overdosed.

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.

I am down-to-earth and not one of those starry, up-their-own-butt celebrities.

My dad is very down to earth, and I view him as a creative genius, and I am very proud of that.

I am more weary of life, I think, than ever I was.
