My life has always been geared towards my career. If my life is complete in other ways then I don't mind being a 65-year-old spinster. But I don't discount love when I'm talking about not getting married. I could... it's just something I haven't wanted to do yet.
I've been accustomed to being famous and having a certain level of attention for 14 years, but in the last few months, it's changed. It's like on the arcade game, I've gone up to the next level.
This is such a special summer holiday for me. I haven't known myself so relaxed in years.
A few years ago my goal was to try and get the goddamned album made, which put me in a real bad frame of mind.
I wrote lyrics that were intensely personal to me a few years ago. Maybe people know me better now.
I'm like an eight year old with the dressing-up box. I have the luxury of being able to change on a whim.
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.
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.
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.
