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

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.

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.

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

I am really not looking further than my next trip. I'm enjoying being in the moment.

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.

Part of me is a sexual exhibitionist.

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.

I am in love with my La Cornue custom-made stove - it's a dream to use and my favourite part of the kitchen.

I have always had a separate walk-in wardrobe, so I have the luxury of a fairly sparse bedroom.

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

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.

The idea behind the Anti Tour was people asking me how I would top the 'Aphrodite' tour... I thought the best option was to go completely the other way. I always tried to be that way - sometimes it works and sometimes you fall flat on your face.

I'm a very proud Australian, always bragging about our country wherever I am in the world.

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

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

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.

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

If I came across a role that is completely mainstream [and] commercial, but it's the right one, I'd jump at the chance.

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.

I've tried Botox, I've tried them all. I'm definitely not one of those people who says, 'You shouldn't do this.' Everyone can individually do what they want.

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

What I normally do with recording, performing, and touring is my name. It's all on my shoulders. If it's a great show, I'm great. If it's not a great show, I'm not great.
