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.
When I started, there was something almost romantic about the notion of paparazzi. I mean, it wasn't. They were still chasing you down the road. But that guy had to put film in his camera and work out whether it was worth pressing the button to take the shot, otherwise he's got to stop and change the film. So it was like this age of innocence.
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 think Australians are down to earth, ... We have a good work ethic, and that can only be helpful in this industry.
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.
If someone feels they have to live up to a certain image, then I can kind of understand that pressure because I'm considered to be one of those images, and I know how unreal they are.
I consider myself really lucky to be able to visit so many parts of the world, but after all of that, I love to come home. I appreciate my own space and the world I create for myself, my family and friends.
Let's just say that I am aware my style has meaning for some people.
I'm convinced there are a lot of couples who have got together while listening to my music. My songs are not exactly unsexy.
