Kylie Minogue Quotes

The band have been rehearsing for the last five weeks, the dancers for the just over three weeks, and me whenever I could, so I`m the last bit! It has been pretty intense. I`m trying to look really calm but it has been an intense few weeks leading up to today! Not very oldies though; we are stepping marginally back in time! It`s always difficult choosing - for a start choosing which new songs to perform from the album and then what`s gonna work with the old ones. But, yeah, there`s a couple of surprises in store and also some real trainspotter surprises too. (on her Money Can`t Buy show)

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.

That`s always a difficult question. Still being here!!! 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.

Cruelty to children is an everyday occurrence, which must be stopped. The work undertaken by the NSPCC is essential and I fully support its mission to end child cruelty. I support its vision of a society in which all children are loved and valued. The levels of abuse in this country are shocking. Without charities like the NSPCC, they would be worse. Together, we hope to improve the lives of children within the UK.

Since my first hit, I can`t believe how quickly time has passed. This collection is very dear to me and holds a lifetime of memories.

I feel lucky to have had the opportunity to experiment throughout the years and that my fans have embraced the need in me to try new approaches. I am just as excited about the new tracks featured here as I am about all the others on the record. At this point in my career, I am happy to celebrate the past and look forward to the future.
