She recounted her brief romance with actor Sean Penn and attempting to keep it private.
'Even when I was dating Sean really early on, nobody knew I was dating him. I wouldn't do a red carpet with him. I was just very prideful,' she recalled.
'I wasn't famous and my album was flopping, like failing spectacularly. I remember going to the Venice Film Festival with him, and I could have done the red carpet and received a lot of media attention.'
'People would've said, "Who is this girl?" and I could have plugged my album. But I'd rather be unknown the rest of my life than have that be the way the world was introduced to me,' she said. 'I don't need fame that badly. I need to be fulfilled. I need to be happy. I need to be a songwriter. I wasn't thirsty in that way.'
