Ultimately, yes, it's my name and I have to deliver the goods. But it doesn't happen without a team. So I try and work with the best people I can.
People see me as Kylie the singer. It would be a dream for me to be taken seriously as an actress.
The idea behind the Anti Tour was people asking me how I would top the 'Aphrodite' tour... I thought the best option was to go completely the other way. I always tried to be that way - sometimes it works and sometimes you fall flat on your face.
The point of my job is to entertain and make it look easy, so I guess it's the parts you don't often see which make me feel proud. All the behind the scenes work, the fears and insecurities I have to face and overcome to improve myself as a person and performer, all of the people who believe in me and encourage me.
I wrote lyrics that were intensely personal to me a few years ago. Maybe people know me better now.
I can understand why people would want to stay on the road because you create your own bubble. You almost don't live in the real world. Just to have the things that are with you is fine.
I've tried Botox, I've tried them all. I'm definitely not one of those people who says, 'You shouldn't do this.' Everyone can individually do what they want. For all time women have wanted to, for the most part, look their best. It's just that what we have available to us today is what it is today and if you want to take advantage of it, yeah.
Having had cancer, one important thing to know is you're still the same person at the end. You're stripped down to near zero. But most people come out the other end feeling more like themselves than ever before.
You need a lot of luck to find people with whom you want to spend the rest of your life. Some people manage to find their soul mate. Others don't. I think love is like a lottery.
I was Olivia Newton-John in my lounge room for sure. I guess at the time, without even knowing it, she was a massive, massive influence, ... And do you know, she's still amazing. She came to see my show in Sydney, and I was a bit nervous thinking, 'Oh, Olivia Newton-John's here!'
I didn't want to fizzle out. I had to keep going, like a little Shetland pony.
I was so happy to finally meet the children and see the results of Toby's energy and vision. Their triumph through adversity is inspiring.
Olivier is by my side and I have a lot of family and friends around me,
To see someone coming through their own way, I think she's a great role model, and her demographics are incredible, ... She certainly crosses the border.
