Kuala
Lumpur,
(ANI):
Pop
singer
Mariah
Carey
wants
to
have
a
“balanced" life,
which
gives
her
the
opportunity
to
make
great
music
as
well
as
lead
a
"normal"
family
life
away
from
the
glamour
celeb
world.
The
New
Straits
Times
Online
quoted
her
as
saying:
"I
hope
to
be
able
to
do
both.
It''s
a
difficult
balancing
act."
The
39-year-old
songbird
was
addressing
a
press
conference
to
promote
her
latest
album
Memoirs
of
An
Imperfect
Angel.
Speaking
about
her
plans
for
her
personal
life,
Carey,
who
walked
down
the
aisle
with
Nick
Cannon
over
a
year
ago,
said:
"I
will
definitely
take
time
off.
I
really
have
to
make
time
to
raise
a
family
because
I
don''t
believe
in
doing
that
half-heartedly.
At
the
same
time,
I
still
want
to
make
music
when
I
want
to."
Carey,
who
delivered
a
string
of
flops
before
winning
over
the
critics
by
her
performance
in
Lee
Daniel"s
Precious,
is
looking
forward
to
a
serious
acting
career.
She
said:" This
is
what
I
love
doing
--
writing
music,
making
songs
and
performing.
"This
is
who
I
am.
And
now
I
have
this
movie
that
I''m
excited
about."
Carey
is
currently
on
a
worldwide
tour
to
promote
her
album
Memoirs
of
An
Imperfect
Angel.
