I Certainly Wished I Hadn't Stressed Quite As Much Or Had Such Insecurity At Times. I Wish I Had Trusted My Instincts On Some Occasions When I Didn't And I Wish I Had Listened To Better Advice When I Didn't. But Overall, I Have To Look At The Glass As Half Full And Acknowledge That I Am All Of The Moments Of My Life, The Good And The Not So Good.

Listen Can You Hear The Distance Calling Far Away But Will Be With You Soon

You Need A Lot Of Luck To Find People With Whom You Want To Spend The Rest Of Your Life. Some People Manage To Find Their Soul Mate. Others Don't. I Think Love Is Like A Lottery.

I've Fancied Other Women, But I Haven't Done Anything About It.

The Moment My Doctor Told Me, I Went Silent. My Mum And Dad Were With Me, Then We All Went To Pieces. I Was Saying, No, I've Got My Flight To Sydney In Two Hours. I'm Getting On A Plane.

I Just Want To Do Everything. I Don't Want To Sound Soppy Or Too Cliched, But That's The Way It Is.

My Current Motto Is To Go For It, Whatever It Is That Inspires You.

Everyone Knows How Much Australia Means To Me. I Try To Get Back Here As Much As I Can, But Normally It's For Work, So I'm In And Out And Jetlagged And Stressed.

I'm A Very Proud Australian, Always Bragging About Our Country Wherever I Am In The World.

I Walk Into The Studio And We're All So Happy To See Each Other.

Life Is About Love And Experience And Learning And Evolving And I Am Richer And Thankful For All Of The Experiences In My Life.
