Kylie Minogue

“This is such a special summer holiday for me. I haven't known myself so relaxed in years.”

“Funnily enough, when I was leaving school and they asked you what you were going to do, and I just liked acting, that's never what I would say. I would always say I would go into business, even though I didn't really know what was meant by that.”

“When I was eight, my pals and I went up to my bedroom, put on our party frocks and mimed to ABBA records using broom handles as microphones.”

“I just can't help but see things differently.”

“I do quite naughty things now. I do like to be a bit sexy.”

“I'm a very proud Australian, always bragging about our country wherever I am in the world.”

“I'm not sure that I'll be able to do everything that I did before.”

“If you're part of a record company, you're a manufactured product. It doesn't mean that you're not talented.”

“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.”

“People see me as Kylie the singer. It would be a dream for me to be taken seriously as an actress.”

“You know, songs often have a very coloured past. They might have something about them but it still doesn't work, so someone else adds a bit, and someone else adds a bit so perhaps one day I'll know its full history.”
