There\u2019s an unspoken bond between artists that I hold very dear. I respect how she has forged her own path and continues to do things her way.\u201d<\/p>\n On idolizing her as a teen:<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cThe cut-off lace gloves and sang along to her songs in my bedroom, being my best Madonna<\/strong>\u2026then later, in the early \u201990s, I\u2019d stay up till midnight to see the first play of her new video.\u201d<\/p>\n On why the duet was poignant:<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cShe wanted us to cover \u2018I Will Survive\u2019 for various reasons\u2026 she lost her mother to breast cancer and she knows of my history with it [Minogue<\/strong> was diagnosed in 2005, declared cancer-free a year later]; and we have both survived the ups and downs of being a woman in the industry. There was much that didn\u2019t need to be said or explained to the audience, but it was understood.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n On why her career is like surfing: <\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cA long time ago I was in Costa Rica on a longboard \u2013 which makes me sound like I can surf, which I can\u2019t \u2013 but I clearly remember paddling out, missing, paddling out, missing, paddling out, missing\u2026 And then when I finally got up on a wave, I felt weightless and euphoric. That is kind of the motto of my life. If you don\u2019t keep paddling, you\u2019re never going to catch a wave. So I just keep paddling.\u201d<\/p>\n On her energy level now:<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cSome days I feel like I can do it all and then, on others, it feels like doing Pilates on a wobble board in midair and I\u2019m wrecked. One of the guys I work with a lot says, \u2018You\u2019re like an amusement park \u2013 some days the rides are just shut; and other days it is like, whee! Everything\u2019s open, the bells are going and the big dipper is on.\u2019 There are certain moments where I think, oh, god, how to keep it up? But for the most part it\u2019s giving energy to create energy. I just have to colour the hair more often!\u201d<\/p>\n On being part of a group of women over 50 redefining what it \u201cshould\u201d look like:<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cBut I hope I won\u2019t always be talking about [age] and there is a moment where we can just be \u2013 knowing that there\u2019s support around and we are never alone \u2013 because it is wonderfully freeing and liberating not to be boxed in by boundaries of \u2018you can do this\u2019 and \u2018you can\u2019t do that.\u2019 I feel like this ship can sail a bit easier and function better without all that drag on it.\u201d<\/p>\n Kylie <\/strong>is also one of many stars who appeared in soap operas!<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
