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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

My gay audience has been with me from the beginning.

If you’re part of a record company, you’re a manufactured product. It doesn’t mean that you’re not talented.

I just can’t help but see things differently.

I’ve fancied other women, but I haven’t done anything about it.

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

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

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

Part of me is a sexual exhibitionist.

I’ve had a lot of tragic hairdos and outfits.

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 wrote lyrics that were intensely personal to me a few years ago. Maybe people know me better now.

This is such a special summer holiday for me. I haven’t known myself so relaxed in years.

When you work in TV, it’s such a group effort, it’s not about you.

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

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.

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

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

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.

I’m not sure that I’ll be able to do everything that I did before.
