With one man, there was a freedom and liberation. That was with Michael Hutchence, my partner in life.

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'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.

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.

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.

I have had a holiday, and I'd like to take it up professionally.

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.

I think I'm being friendly with someone and I'll sit in their lap. They think I'm flirting with them.

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

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

The Sun in London ran a front page declaring my bum a national treasure. I really did laugh at that. Its not like it can actually do anything, except wiggle.

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.

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 do dance music, and I can be pretty camp myself from time to time.

I get the lyrics of a tune and interpret them my way.

I just can't help but see things differently.

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

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

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

I walk into the studio and we're all so happy to see each other.
