Aimee Osbourne

I'll be having lunch with my mum and she'll complain about the paparazzi outside. I tell her that she could have worn a beanie, but of course she never does. She loves it - it's how she chooses to connect with people. That's fine, I can respect that. But I'm the opposite. I always have been. ”

It's kind of like OK, I want to be a singer. And I felt if I would have stayed with the 'Osbournes' and done the whole Osbourne thing... I would have been typecasted right away before I had a chance to experience other things. ”

My private life is very important. ”

I don't think I will ever cross-contaminate my private life and my family life with my public and professional worlds. ”

I always knew what I wanted, and I always had a very clear vision for myself and my career as an artist. ”

When you're famous, you have a certain sense of responsibility because so many people are looking at you for inspiration and for influence. ”

Once I accepted music was my path, I rebelled by wanting to do it my own way. I also didn't think it was respectful to my father's career and creativity to assume that I could jump on the back of all he had worked his entire life for. ”

Instant fame, attention, getting flown around the world and those other fringe benefits never really rang true for me. ”

I grew up playing the piano, but you know, as a rebellious child, I convinced myself that I hated it. ”

It's natural to want to rebel against what your parents do. ”
