There's a rumor going around that I'm Miss Goody-two-shoes from Australia. Well, that's a laugh. I'm really Miss Goody-two-shoes from England!
Olivia Newton-JohnI have had someone wonderful things happen to me during my career and lifetime. Of course, personally, the birth of my daughter is the highlight of my life.
Olivia Newton-JohnThere's a balance in my life, there's reality and there's the part that looks really glamorous, but we're all just people in the end.
Olivia Newton-JohnI'm an 18-years thriver, I call myself, not a survivor, because I feel like I'm in thriving my life even better than I ever have, and I want to encourage other women that are going through this journey that here I am.
Olivia Newton-JohnMy wish is that all all women age 20 and above perform monthly breast self-examinations.
Olivia Newton-JohnActing is a difficult profession, it really is. It's different than singing. With singing you may have one song and four people to record it - but they'll all do it differently and they'll all have that option. Whereas with actors there might be one part, and five hundred actors all want the same role - it's so much more competitive. It's an incredibly painful profession because you get so much rejection.
Olivia Newton-JohnI do have high standards, but I don't expect anything from anyone that I don't expect from myself.
Olivia Newton-JohnI look at my cancer journey as a gift: It made me slow down and realisethe important things in life and taught me to not sweat the small stuff.
Olivia Newton-JohnI love to design and remodel houses, from working with the contractors to picking the colours, materials, kitchen and bathroom accessories to finally what furniture goes where.
Olivia Newton-JohnI am extremely grateful. And that brings me back to reality on the days I am complaining about something.
Olivia Newton-JohnI have really been blessed in my career with some wonderful songwriters and in turn, songs.
Olivia Newton-JohnI keep a diary when I have time to. I always know that I'm either having a great time or I'm very busy when there are three weeks of nothing in my diary. But I like to look back because in ten years to the day I can know where I was and what I was doing, and that's a nice feeling.
Olivia Newton-JohnI love animals. They give so much to you and demand so little. And you can trust them.
Olivia Newton-JohnJohn [Travolta] and I have remained very close friends ever since we did Grease. When I was told that "You're the One That I Want" was named the #1 duet in history and, during a text chat with John letting him know he said "we should record a Christmas song." Of course I said yes.
Olivia Newton-JohnI am not embarrassed to say that when I was at my worst I took anti-depressants because I think people need to hear that. I think if you are in a dark place where you can't pull yourself out, you may need to ask for help.
Olivia Newton-JohnMy memories are inside me - they're not things or a place - I can take them anywhere.
Olivia Newton-JohnI love to make stories out of license plates on cars about the initials and the numbers - my mum used to do that with me.
Olivia Newton-JohnLive, love, knowing that we're all free Now that we are blessed in our country And realise how lucky we are
Olivia Newton-JohnBreast Cancer is not necessarily a death sentence, stay strong and centered and be involved in all aspects of your treatment.
Olivia Newton-JohnI love clothes. I don't know a woman who doesn't. But generally women are intrigued with fashion. Designers are almost making fun of us at times.
Olivia Newton-JohnThe idea is to encourage men to go with their wives and screen. So, if the wife is going to go and do her screening, then the man can go and do his baseline screening, too. Men need to be aware of the health of their bodies, as well - prostate cancer and breast cancer are almost on the same level.
Olivia Newton-JohnI want to get physical, let's get into physical, let me hear your body talk, your body talk.
Olivia Newton-John'Grease' changed my life in the most amazing way, and I've had such an amazing life. When things go wrong, you've got to believe you will get through them and focus on the positive things in your life.
Olivia Newton-JohnI took you to an intimate restaurant, then to a suggestive movie. There's nothing left to talk about, unless it's horizontally.
Olivia Newton-JohnFor me I have learned to enjoy everything, especially performing live, so much more. I used to get horrible stage fright when I was younger and today and just love to sing for anyone who still turns up at my shows!
Olivia Newton-JohnMy cancer scare changed my life. I'm grateful for every new, healthy day I have. It has helped me prioritize my life.
Olivia Newton-JohnI would not be comfortable appearing in a country where they have permitted the destruction of such beautiful and intelligent animals.
Olivia Newton-JohnTo 'be loved' is the most basic of human needs. Like a flower, it waters the human soul. But 'to love' is a true blessing.
Olivia Newton-JohnI love seeing young girls and their parents and grandparents at my concerts all loving the music from Grease when I perform those songs (and yes, I do perform a bunch of them!).
Olivia Newton-JohnA few years ago I appeared on GLEE and, Jane Lynch and I did a remake of the song that was very popular - someone told me it was in the Top 100 when it was released. First, walking on the set of GLEE the day we filmed it was surreal as they had recreated the entire original set from the music video. It was bizarre - but fun.
Olivia Newton-JohnI am lucky to have the greatest band and when you add a symphony orchestra to the mix it brings all of my songs to a whole new level. I wouldn't say I really change what I do but, having those talented musicians behind me, along with my band, really makes the songs so much bigger and more fun to sing.
Olivia Newton-JohnI respect my parents' opinion very much. No matter how old you are, what your parents think is very important. If they like your boyfriend or if they like some work you've done. And if they don't, it's more shattering than anybody else telling you, because they're the most honest.
Olivia Newton-JohnThe "Great Walk to Beijing" was a fundraiser for my cancer center. It was a three-week trek with fellow cancer "thrivers," including celebrities ranging from Joan Rivers to Leeza Gibbons, and Olympians.
Olivia Newton-JohnMan is taking over the forests and polluting the oceans, the animal species are threatened. I try to contribute as much as I can. We're really messing up our environment. I try to get people more aware of what's going on so that they can, even in a local way, try to prevent pollution to their lakes and rivers and prevent nuclear dumping in the oceans - it's bad enough that they're doing it in residential areas, but putting it in the ocean! Eventually it's going to pollute our food resources and, if the ocean dies, we're gone.
Olivia Newton-JohnNature is the most beautiful thing we have. It's better than art because it's from the creator.
Olivia Newton-JohnI really love performing with an orchestra and am very excited to do so with the Kalamazoo Symphony.
Olivia Newton-JohnI believe love is what makes the world go round. No matter how old or young, love is why we are here. It is the very essence of one's being.
Olivia Newton-JohnI don't have the desire that I think a lot of performers feel - to get the applause. It's not life or death for me. I love it and it's exciting, but it's not something I crave or miss, so I don't need to perform; I don't have that desire. I like to sing, and I love doing what I'm doing, but it's not a dire need.
