We played every bar, party, pub, hotel lounge, church hall, mining town - places that made Mad Max territory look like a Japanese garden.

Women are incredible in groups together. Terrifying. Men have nothing on them.

Kylie Minogue - she's so great. You'd love her if you met her. Everyone would. In a way I wish everyone could, to see what a person she is. She's so sweet and no bull and really funny, man, really funny. The Rolling Stones are like a weight around your neck.

Fame makes me feel wanted and loved, anybody wants that.

There is an integrity to INXS, in the music, that makes it worthwhile.
