Olivia Newton-John

“There's a balance in my life. There's reality, and there's the part that looks really glamorous, but we're all just people in the end.”

“I used homeopathy, acupuncture, yoga and meditation in conjunction with my chemotherapy to help me get stronger again after the cancer. I also chanted with Buddhist friends and prayed with Christian friends. I covered all my bases.”

“'Grease' changed my life in the most amazing way, and I've had such an amazing life. When things go wrong, you've got to believe you will get through them and focus on the positive things in your life.”

“We print 37 million copies, and we found out about the unfortunate news as we were putting the issue to bed.”

“I am fortunate to have the ability to lend my name to build the Olivia Newton-John Cancer and Wellness Centre in my hometown of Melbourne. It will be a state-of-the-art facility to help heal the whole person - body, mind and spirit.”

“Being in love is the best thing in my life.”

“To me luxury is to be at home with my daughter, and the occasional massage doesn't hurt.”

“When I first arrived in America, the very first place I came was California, and I rented a house in Trance, which is about half an hour from Malibu.”

“I simply have a marvellous life, a very lucky life.”

“Nothing I have done professionally will top the feeling I got when singing with John Farnham at the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney.”

“When I was a young girl, I was so crazy about animals that I wanted to do something associated with them, and I thought of being a vet. But then again, I figured I had to go to medical school, and science wasn't a good subject for me, so I dropped the idea pretty soon and thought maybe I could be a vet's assistant.”

“You never know what the future holds, so I am just enjoying being happy, healthy, and having my wonderful husband by my side.”

“I made an album of healing music called 'Grace and Gratitude' that came from my soul.”

“There's a rumor going around that I'm Miss Goody-two-shoes from Australia. Well, that's a laugh. I'm really Miss Goody-two-shoes from England!”

“My father had the most amazing operatic voice, so I have a soft spot for that.”

“I love that quiet time when nobody's up and the animals are all happy to see me.”

“Men need to be aware of the health of their bodies, as well - prostate cancer and breast cancer are almost on the same level. It's fascinating to me that the correlation between the two is almost the same - people don't talk about it so much, but they are almost equal in numbers.”

“Family, nature and health all go together.”
