Was in a relationship with Joshua Sasse I never say never about a lot of things. Whatever you want, then more power to you. If someone feels they have to live up to a certain image, then I can kind of understand that pressure because I'm considered to be one of those images, and I know how unreal they are.
People see me as Kylie the singer. It would be a dream for me to be taken seriously as an actress. Everything has been so crazy. I've been trying to get my act together, but I am so exhausted I can barely string a sentence together.
Making this album has really taken its toll. When I was eight, my pals and I went up to my bedroom, put on our party frocks and mimed to ABBA records using broom handles as microphones. Still being here!!! 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. All the behind the scenes work, the fears and insecurities I have to face and overcome to improve myself as a person and performer, all of the people who believe in me and encourage me.
As you can see the list starts to go on and on. My sense of achievement is a study in motion and there's much I wish to accomplish in the future, professional and personal. This collection is very dear to me and holds a lifetime of memories. There is nothing like time to give you a sense of perspective and I hope the listener gets as much enjoyment out of these tracks as I do. I feel lucky to have had the opportunity to experiment throughout the years and that my fans have embraced the need in me to try new approaches.
I am just as excited about the new tracks featured here as I am about all the others on the record. At this point in my career, I am happy to celebrate the past and look forward to the future. It's a lot different from any other videos I've done before.
I really wanted to do some ballet in my next video and luckily I've been able to. I normally have three or four hours to practise the choreography for my clips, but this time I had four days to get it right. I'm so happy that my costumes have found a home here in Melbourne, my home town, where I know they will be cared for and preserved.
Its just such an honour that the Performing Arts Collection wanted it all. What I imagine people will want to see is the wear and tear, the ingrained make-up after fifty shows, where the audio-pack rubs these are things that for me, bring costumes to life. I am so excited to be performing once again at GAY. There's an atmosphere there that is unlike anywhere else.
Last time I performed there they had a huge clock counting down the minutes until the show and by the time I came on the crowd was at fever pitch. It's a special venue for me and I have some amazing memories of gigs gone by. So many of the audience go to great lengths to make special outfits and they know the lyrics to the songs better than I do. Cruelty to children is an everyday occurrence, which must be stopped.
I support its vision of a society in which all children are loved and valued. The levels of abuse in this country are shocking. Together, we hope to improve the lives of children within the UK. The band have been rehearsing for the last five weeks, the dancers for the just over three weeks, and me whenever I could, so I'm the last bit!
It has been pretty intense. I'm trying to look really calm but it has been an intense few weeks leading up to today! Not very oldies though; we are stepping marginally back in time! It's always difficult choosing - for a start choosing which new songs to perform from the album and then what's gonna work with the old ones. But, yeah, there's a couple of surprises in store and also some real trainspotter surprises too. I have been in L.
I am thrilled and cannot wait to bring it home. I've met her before and we've worked with some of the same people who help put our tours together. I'm sure it would be a great thing.

In musical terms, Kylie has worked with many genres in pop and dance music. However, her signature music has been contemporary disco music. Her first studio albums with Stock, Aitken, and Waterman present a more bubblegum pop influence with many critics comparing her to American recording artist Madonna.
Chris True from Allmusic, reviewed her debut Kylie and found her music " standard late-'80s Stock-Aitken-Waterman bubblegum ", however he stated that she presented the most personality of any s recording artist.
He said of Kylie's third album "Rhythm of Love" from the early s, " The songwriting is stronger, the production dynamic, and Kylie seems more confident vocally. From Kylie's work on her sixth studio album "Impossible Princess" her songwriting and musical content began to change. She was constantly writing down words, exploring the form and meaning of sentences. She had written lyrics before, but called them " safe, just neatly rhymed words and that's that ". The album in musical genres varied from her previous efforts as it incorporated " dance-pop " and " trip hop " music.
He said that she took inspiration from " both the Brit-pop and electronica movements of the mid-'90s", saying that "Impossible Princess is the work of an artist willing to take risks ". Her next effort "Light Years", he said was " worked up by the renaissance of pure dance-pop that was the order of the day at the onset of the 21st century.

However, he said her eleventh album "Aphrodite" " rarely strays past sweet love songs or happy dance anthems " and " the main sound is the kind of glittery disco pop that really is her strong suit. Tim Sendra from Allmusic stated, " The various producers keep their eyes on the dancefloor throughout, crafting shiny and sleek tracks that sound custom-built to blast out of huge speaker columns " and found "Aphrodite" " One of her best, in fact.
Kylie's efforts to be taken seriously as a recording artist were initially hindered by the perception that she had not " paid her dues " and was no more than a manufactured pop star exploiting the image she had created during her stint on Neighbours. Kylie acknowledged this viewpoint, saying, " If you're part of a record company, I think to a degree it's fair to say that you're a manufactured product. You're a product and you're selling a product. It doesn't mean that you're not talented and that you don't make creative and business decisions about what you will and won't do and where you want to go.
Stern photographed her in Los Angeles and comparing her to Monroe , commented that she had a similar mix of vulnerability and eroticism.
