Carey says: "Did I have a sexual relationship with him? No, I didn't. I knew
him, I hung out with him a few times, but nothing sexual occurred. I'd admit
it if it did, but it didn't. And that's why I was so upset about the whole
thing, because I was like, `Look, if I had an intimate relationship with the
person, that would be one thing, but...' Maybe he thought because nothing
happened he'd look bad or something."

"I know I have this image that's sexy. But I'm basically like Mary Poppins.
That's my nickname! I'm prudish. It's like playing dress up. When you go
through difficult stuff as a kid sometimes your childhood stays with you.
I've hung onto that. There was a period when I was in a relationship that
was confining, where I had to wear turtlenecks and long pants and that
wasn't me. I broke out of that - around the same time of the 'Honey' video,
where I jump out of the water like a secret agent - everybody was shocked.
But that was the real me coming out."
