Los Angeles, Aug 6 (IANS) Singer Lily Allen shared that she thought about quitting music and studying to become a lawyer after having her daughters Ethel and Marnie.
The “Smile” singer said that she felt “ashamed” to have not left school with any qualifications and had considered dropping her career at different times.
“When people start talking about where they went to university and stuff, I do go into a self-hatred spiral, because I’m not educated,” Allen, who was previously married to Sam Cooper, said on “Miss Me?” podcast.
“And I left school when I was 15 and I don’t even have one GCSE (General Certificate of Secondary Education). I have not one qualification and I’m ashamed. I’m ashamed of it.”
Asked what it would mean to her if she did get some qualifications, she said: “I really don’t know. Because I think that if I had a degree, there were points — after I had kids for instance — I might not have thought I’m gonna try and re-enter music or entertainment. I might have thought, ‘I’m actually gonna go and be a lawyer.'”
Allen, who is married to ‘Stranger Things’ star David Harbour, had previously said that she believes having children killed her music career, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
She laughed as she told the ‘Radio Times Podcast’: “My children ruined my career. I mean, I love them, and they complete me, but in terms of, like, you know, pop stardom, totally ruined it.”
She also said she hated people using the phrase that mothers can “have it all”.
Allen added: “It really annoys me when people say you can have it all because, quite frankly, you can’t. Some people choose their career over their children, and that’s their prerogative. But, you know, my parents were quite absent when I was a kid, and I feel like that really left some, like, nasty scars that I’m not willing to, you know, repeat on mine.”
“And so I chose to step back and concentrate on them, and I’m glad that I have done that because I think they’re pretty well-rounded people.”
