Singer Mandy Moore apparently considers her Oxygen docu-reality special a one-shot deal instead of a new career path.

"I would never want to do a reality series," Moore told the New York Daily News in a report published Tuesday. "I would never sign myself up for that. There are certain things that need to exist behind closed doors and you need to retain a little bit of mystery as an artist."

Oxygen broadcast I Am Mandy Moore on Tuesday night, and the one-hour docu-reality special followed the 23-year-old singer and actress as she promoted her fifth album "Wild Hope," which was released June 19.

"I think I was welcoming of the prospect [of doing the show] because I feel like I'm a pretty personable person and I love meeting people and I love getting the opportunity to be myself," Moore told the Daily News.  "As much as you try to infuse that in your music and movies, people don't necessarily have the ideal picture or maybe the most accurate picture of who you are."

Footage collected for I Am Mandy Moore was shot over a six-month span and includes everything from tour stops and radio station visits to personal tapes filmed by her manager.

While she wasn't upset by what was caught on-camera for the special, Moore said it served its purpose and she has no desire to become a reality television star.

"You see everything," she told the Daily News. "If nothing else, I have this time capsule of what I went through in a really, really interesting year for me so far. Obviously I'm excited for people to get to see it, but for me, selfishly, I'm like, 'Wow! I have all of this documented for the future.'"
