Kylie Minogue

“I am really not looking further than my next trip. I'm enjoying being in the moment.”

“Part of me is a sexual exhibitionist.”

“I just want to do everything. I don't want to sound soppy or too cliched, but that's the way it is.”

“I am in love with my La Cornue custom-made stove - it's a dream to use and my favourite part of the kitchen.”

“Everyone knows how much Australia means to me. I try to get back here as much as I can, but normally it's for work, so I'm in and out and jetlagged and stressed.”

“I'm just a natural flirt, but I don't see it in a sexual way. A lot of the time I'm like an overexcited puppy.”

“The moment my doctor told me, I went silent. My mum and dad were with me, then we all went to pieces. I was saying, No, I've got my flight to Sydney in two hours. I'm getting on a plane.”

“I used to be able to do the Chinese splits, where you open your legs sideways.”

“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.”

“Gay icons usually have some tragedy in their lives, but I've only had tragic haircuts and outfits.”

“I know there will be X amount of women being diagnosed. I love to say, You can get through it. You can.”

“There's no shortcut to learning a craft; you just have to put the years in.”

“When you work in TV, it's such a group effort, it's not about you.”

“I've fancied other women, but I haven't done anything about it.”

“When I was younger, my grandma taught me how to cut patterns and sew.”

“Let's just say that I am aware my style has meaning for some people.”

“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'd definitely love to do more acting. My heart cries out for it; it's such a deep longing.”

“I'm convinced there are a lot of couples who have got together while listening to my music. My songs are not exactly unsexy.”

“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.”
