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.
When I was younger, my grandma taught me how to cut patterns and sew.
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.
I have always had a separate walk-in wardrobe, so I have the luxury of a fairly sparse bedroom.
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.
I'm sure that love exists, even infinite, eternal love.
There's no shortcut to learning a craft; you just have to put the years in.
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.
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.
I'm convinced there are a lot of couples who have got together while listening to my music. My songs are not exactly unsexy.
People see me as Kylie the singer. It would be a dream for me to be taken seriously as an actress.
I'd definitely love to do more acting. My heart cries out for it; it's such a deep longing.
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.
I walk into the studio and we're all so happy to see each other.
