All shall work together for good; everything is needful that He sends; nothing can be needful that He withholds.
My wish is that all all women age 20 and above perform monthly breast self-examinations.
Singing at the Opening Ceremonies of the Sydney Olympics in 2000 was amazing and, probably the highlight of this decade is the opening of the Olivia Newton-John Cancer and Wellness Centre in my hometown of Melbourne, Australia.
There’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.
My memories are inside me – they’re not things or a place – I can take them anywhere.
I would not be comfortable appearing in a country where they have permitted the destruction of such beautiful and intelligent animals.
I want to get physical, let’s get into physical, let me hear your body talk, your body talk.
I simply have a marvellous life, a very lucky life.
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!
I 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.
The 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.
I 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.
I love to make stories out of license plates on cars about the initials and the numbers – my mum used to do that with me.
I love animals. They give so much to you and demand so little. And you can trust them.
It’s very hard to get good songs because a lot of writers record their own; they keep the best for themselves.
When you have a cavity in your tooth and you let it get worse, eventually you have to get a root canal. If you have something that isn’t right, the earlier you treat it the easier the treatment is going to be. That’s kind of common sense.
I think that I’ve always been on a search. I have my own kind of belief in love is the being, but I think that I’ve always been searching for truth and I think there’s lots of truths and I think we should respect that in each other, and that’s really what I wanted to bring across.
I 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.
I 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.
The 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.
I’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.
