The proverbial clock may be ticking, but Mariah Carey has turned off the alarm.

Her 40th birthday is approaching, but Carey told a reporter that she has no desire to have children. "It's hard to have kids in this world," she told the British version of OK! magazine. "I don't think I could properly educate a child right now. Maybe in the future, but I actually haven't thought about it."

Carey said having children would leave her feeling "violated ... I know that's a kind of weird thing to say, but that's how I am."

The singer, who is in London to promote a new album, admits she spends a lot of time babying herself. She arrived with an entourage of 15 hairdressers, bodyguards and personal stylists and commandeered every penthouse suite in Claridge's, an exclusive Mayfair hotel. Carey, who admitted to insuring her legs for $2 million, also had a $20,000 personal gym installed in her own penthouse at Claridge's. "You gotta take care of yourself," she said. "You have to try and stay pretty, you know."
