Leona Lewis hopes she never reaches superstar status - because she wants to be able to lead a "normal life".
The Bleeding Love hitmaker insists she doesn't envy the fame of singers like Mariah Carey and Madonna, because she would find such a high level of fame too disruptive.
She says: "I don't know if I'd like to be that big. I like to lead a relatively normal life. I like the normality of being able to go to the shops, go out with my friends."
But Lewis admits that there are some perks to being a major star.
She adds: "I love the way huge stars like that have been able to connect with so many people and make so many albums of great music, so that's what I want as well. But I think it's a balance. I don't want to go off the rails."
