Allen celibate for inspiration

Lily Allen says that staying celibate can sometimes help her music, and that she has previously ended relationships for creative inspiration.

Lily Allen has said that it's sometimes good to stay celibate because it's better for her music. Which is a sacrifice, I suppose. But I'd like to say here and now that she mustn't do it on my account.

The singer is quoted as saying: "Sometimes it helps. It's good to get out of your comfort zone and test yourself. I'm just going to see how it goes for a bit. I haven't set a time limit or anything. I've actually broken up with boyfriends for inspiration. When I hit a period of not being able to write music, I get up and I walk away. It's pretty mean - but it's true".
