Los Angeles, CA (CNS) - Country singer Shania Twain sat down with Redbook for their December issue and revealed that after five years out of the public eye she is ready to make her comeback to music.

The 42-year old Canadian born singer enjoyed tremendous success in the late 1990's with her crossover album "Come On Over," which featured hit songs like "You're Still The One," and "Man! I Feel Like A Woman!"

"I struggled a lot internally with my fame, and coping with it has been very difficult," Twain said in the interview. "I was at the point where I would never look anyone in the eye. It was like living in prison."

Twain escaped the pressures of stardom by retreating to hr chateau in Switzerland with music producer husband Robert John "Mutt" Lange and their six-year old son Eja D'Angelo. The much-needed break from the public eye has allowed Twain to focus on a new album due out in 2008 and developing her new fragrance "Shania by Stetson."

"I'm not such a slave to pleasing everyone, which I think is a female tendency," she says. "I take more time for myself; that's a very big part of mental, emotional and physical health."

Twain claims that she is "not naturally a spotlight person" but doesn't mind being the center of attention in a comfortable environment.

The five-time Grammy award-winning singer has been known to feel uneasy about her role as a sex symbol and has repeatedly stated that "it is the music that will last forever, not an image."
