Minogue: "Part of me is a sexual exhibitionist."

Minogue: "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."

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

Minogue: "I get sensationalism, I get gossip, I understand that. If I'm at the dentist, I'll flip through those magazines as well. But it's especially annoying when it's something that is too much."

Minogue: "I am really not looking further than my next trip. I'm enjoying being in the moment."

Minogue: "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."

Minogue: "There's no shortcut to learning a craft; you just have to put the years in."

Minogue: "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."

Minogue: "I'd definitely love to do more acting. My heart cries out for it; it's such a deep longing."

Minogue: "When I started, there was something almost romantic about the notion of paparazzi. I mean, it wasn't. They were still chasing you down the road. But that guy had to put film in his camera and work out whether it was worth pressing the button to take the shot, otherwise he's got to stop and change the film. So it was like this age of innocence."

Minogue: "I'm sure that love exists, even infinite, eternal love."

Minogue: "You need a lot of luck to find people with whom you want to spend the rest of your life. Some people manage to find their soul mate. Others don't. I think love is like a lottery."

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

Minogue: "I'm trying to be myself more and more. The more confidence you have in yourself... the more you realize that this is you, and life isn't long. So get on with it!"

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

Minogue: "You can be very efficient with lyrics, and you can get the heart fluttering or soaring or make someone cry with a really amazing dance song."

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

Minogue: "I love to have a bath with beautiful, relaxing music on and have no rush to do anything. It's a wonderful indulgence, and it helps me to calm down and stop my mind running overtime."

Minogue: "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."

Minogue: "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."

Minogue: "I've always been a little shy about taking my clothes off, but I don't worry about it any more."

Minogue: "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."

Minogue: "I've had a lot of tragic hairdos and outfits."

Minogue: "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."

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

Minogue: "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."

Minogue: "I just can't help but see things differently."
