Demi Lovato has revealed that she considered retiring from her music career while filming her new documentary, Child Star. The 32-year-old singer and actress made the shocking revelation during an appearance on Penn Badgley's podcast titled Podcrushed . Talking about her upcoming film, Demi said, "One of the reasons why I made this film was, like, 'Why did we turn out the way that we did? And how does it affect me today? Is it something that I still wanna do? Why did I feel like I needed so much outside validation?’” She further explained, "One of the questions is, like, 'Do I wanna still do this today?' You know, going into this film, I was considering retirement because I didn't know if it fulfilled me anymore.
” "But for some reason, it was so therapeutic working on this project, realizing that, like, I don't need success,” shared the former Disney star. Demi, who completed 22 years in showbiz, claimed that “I don't need success, I need to be happy." “And at the end of the day, music does make me happy, and that's why I wanna continue it.
I don't wanna do it because I feel like I have to. I wanna do it because I love it,” she continued. “And working on this film has helped me kind of fall back in love with music,” the Heart attack singer added.
