My current motto is to go for it, whatever it is that inspires you.

If I stopped making records or performing, I'd probably still be famous for a while being me. But I'd rather have something to show for myself.

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

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

I maintain that the best song is the one that ends up on the album. So whether I've written it or I haven't, I'm very comfortable with both.

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 can understand why people would want to stay on the road because you create your own bubble. You almost don't live in the real world. Just to have the things that are with you is fine.
