Why Debbie Harry removed all mirrors from her home

Debbie Harry - who admitted she "swears" by plastic surgery, explaining "In my business? I mean, come on" - has revealed she was once so sick of all of the attention her looks received that she removed all mirrors from her home.

She said: "There was a time when I had to take down all the mirrors [in my house]. I felt like I was looking at myself too much. The world made such a big deal of how I looked. It's problematic. [But] I'm lucky I was born this way. It's perfect for showbiz."

And she admitted that her attitude to relationships and sex have also changed as she has gotten older, saying:

"It's not so completely hormonal. It's not as innocent. It's the human condition to want to share your existence with somebody. In that sense, we are pack animals. Sex is a survival instinct."
