The popstar has said that despite being mistakenly accused of rude behaviour in the past, she has always conducted herself in a proper and "cordial" way.
The 39-year-old told The Guardian: "I try not to be a jerk. I really do. I try to be nice and cordial.
"I've seen the real extreme diva behaviour and I don't think that's who I am."
Carey said: "I think I have mannerisms and that whole thing... But even before I had any type of fame I was like this. Seriously."
As for her rumoured backstage demands, she added: "They said I wouldn't come into a hotel room unless there were petals on the floor. I'm like, 'Do you really think at 3am I give a s**t what I'm walking on?'"
Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel is currently available in the US and is to be released in the UK next month.
