Nelly Furtado had a breakdown when she first became famous.
The 'Maneater' singer admits she initially struggled to cope with the pressures of fame and would spend a great deal of time alone, even though it seemed she was enjoying her life.
She said: "Fame took me by surprise and I ended up having a breakdown. It was too much too soon. After two years of intense touring and partying I'd spend hours alone in my LA home, just staring at the floor. I felt like a fraud, believing that people liked me for my image and not my music."
There are times when I long to be a hermit living in a cottage. I often crave that sort of solitude. But having a husband and a daughter tends to get in the way of that.
Although she has recovered, Nelly - who is married to sound engineer Demacio Castellon and has a six-year-old daughter from a previous relationship - admits she would like to spend more time by herself but her lifestyle doesn't allow it.
She told Britain's Live! magazine: "There are times when I long to be a hermit living in a cottage. I often crave that sort of solitude. But having a husband and a daughter tends to get in the way of that."

It seems Jennifer Aniston still has feelings for ex-hubby Brad Pitt as she burst into tears in her trailer while filming in New York, telling an assistant that a scene 'reminded her of him,' a source said.
The former Friends star, who was shooting for The Bounty with Gerard Butler, was reportedly spotted in tears.
According to a source, an assistant saw Aniston in tears inside the trailer when he went to call her, reports the New York Post.
The source said Aniston told the assistant: "I need a moment. This scene reminds me of Brad and me".
Aniston had gathered her calm when she came out from her trailer. "While she enjoyed flirting with Gerard on set and put a brave face on every day, privately she is still very fragile," added the source.
However, Aniston's rep has rubbished the story and said it is 'ridiculous . . it never happened.' Pitt and Aniston had separated in January 2005.
