Vanessa Paradis Opens Up on Split from Johnny Depp: 'Can you imagine what it feels like?'
For the first time, Vanessa Paradis has opened up about her split from partner of 14 years, Johnny Depp.
Vanessa who has two children with Johnny Depp addressed their recent split by saying, "I don't want to talk about him."
The French singer said that she is duly aware of being a public figure, but pointed that artists shouldn't be forced to sell their souls and expose everything to the public.
"Who said that artists should sell their soul, expose everything about themselves?
It's my duty to promote this movie, and my albums, but can you imagine what it feels like to see people making a business out of your pain," she said on an interview with Elle magazine while she promotes her latest film.
Vanessa was vague about discussing about her 14-year relationship with the Hollywood actor, she added that what happened between her and Johnny is nobody's concern.
"I don't have the recipe for happiness, but I think the engine is simply having the desire. It's not feeling obliged or forced or repeating yourself," she said.
"I hate, for example, whenever you hear someone say, 'You have work at being a couple.' No, you have to want to be there. And for me, I want to be right where I am right now," Vanessa continued.
The pair has not been seen in public together since 2010. Vanessa didn't attend Depp's promotion for "The Rum Diaries" and "Dark Shadows." Instead the actor was seen with Amber Heard, his co-star with whom he was romantically linked to.
Vanessa said that she will divide her time between the United States where her two children attends school, and France. She discussed about how her children are more independent now and her daughter's love for singing.
"I can tell you that if they decide to launch themselves into this kind of career it will be a good thing for music," the French actress said.
"For my part, although I do not regret what I did, I'd prefer that my daughter takes the time to learn, and, especially, to live her childhood thoroughly."
