Britney Spears has been in show
business since she was a child but admits she sometimes thinks about
retiring. Her fans, however, don't need to worry she's going to
disappear anytime soon -- she's already booked for a two-year residency in Las Vegas. Like many other stars, Spears is more about talk and less about action when it comes to retirement:

Can't stay away: Celebs who threaten to retire
STORY HIGHLIGHTS
- E! documentary went behind-the-scenes with singer preparing for Las Vegas
- Britney Spears admits she sometimes thinks about retiring
- Spears says she's "not really made for this industry because I am so shy"
The 32-year-old pop star
has had a hectic year -- a new album, "Britney Jean," preparations for
her upcoming two-year Las Vegas residency and her everyday role as a mom
to two boys.
Spears admitted while promoting E!'s documentary "I Am Britney Jean" that there are times she thinks about not just slowing down but retiring altogether.
"I have thought about it," Spears told E!.
"If I happen to have another baby or something like that, I'd probably
move back to Louisiana. I do miss Louisiana. I miss the people. I miss
the food. I miss the way of life, how everything is really simple."
But retirement remains
just an idea rather than a plan. "I think right now is my time to
perform and do what I'm doing," she said.
"Britney Jean" has been
promoted as her most personal disc yet, and the E! documentary went
behind-the-scenes of Spears' life as the singer prepared for Vegas.
Along the way, the pop
star offered up revelations on everything from her thoughts on sex (she
loves it) to her favorite bubble gum flavor (watermelon) to why she
thinks she's not really made for this industry.
"Personally, I'm really a
shy person," she said. "I'm particularly not really made for this
industry because I am so shy. It's not something that I deal with so
well."
Besides the difficulty of
being in the public eye, she also insists on perfection when performing
-- or as Spears put it in the doc, "Being a perfectionist really
sucks."
"It's just a lot of
pressure," she explained, but that pressure is also what keeps her
going. "I have that motivation in rehearsals to make it the best every
time. That's why I do what I do.CNN
