Olivia Newton-John

When I was a young girl, I was so crazy about animals that I wanted to do something associated with them, and I thought of being a vet. But then again, I figured I had to go to medical school, and science wasn't a good subject for me, so I dropped the idea pretty soon and thought maybe I could be a vet's assistant.

To me luxury is to be at home with my daughter, and the occasional massage doesn't hurt.

I'm so happy with 'Grease' and 'Xanadu,' particularly because of the music in both films.

Family nature and health all go together.

I've always been aware of my health - when you are having to go on stage and perform, you need to be feeling good - but when I was diagnosed with a life-threatening illness, I became really, really conscious of my health.

Being in love is the best thing in my life.

Nothing I have done professionally will top the feeling I got when singing with John Farnham at the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney.

My family and friends were definitely the key to my recovery. One thing that I do suggest is that anyone dealing with a life-threatening illness like cancer choose a point person for people to call to find out how you are doing - a sister, brother, mother, father, daughter, son, or close friend.

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.

You never know what the future holds, so I am just enjoying being happy, healthy, and having my wonderful husband by my side.

My memories are inside me - they're not things or a place - I can take them anywhere.

I love life and nothing intimidates me anymore.

I live every day to its fullest extent and I don't sweat the small stuff.

'Grease' changed my life in the most amazing way, and I've had such an amazing life. When things go wrong, you've got to believe you will get through them and focus on the positive things in your life.

My cancer scare changed my life. I'm grateful for every new, healthy day I have. It has helped me prioritize my life.

Men need to be aware of the health of their bodies, as well - prostate cancer and breast cancer are almost on the same level. It's fascinating to me that the correlation between the two is almost the same - people don't talk about it so much, but they are almost equal in numbers.

Theres a balance in my life. Theres reality and theres the part that looks really glamorous but were all just people in the end.

Most women don't do regular breast self examinations, mainly because they are either intimidated by what they might find, or they're confused as to how to do the self exam correctly. 'Liv Aid' eliminates all of these concerns because it makes breast self exams easy to perform.

I don't know what my path is yet. I'm just walking on it.

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 remember as a little girl I could tell you the name of the dog next door, but I couldn't tell you the names of the kids. The dog was my best friend. I love animals. They give so much to you and demand so little.

I love that quiet time when nobody's up and the animals are all happy to see me.

My cancer scare changed my life. Im grateful for every new healthy day I have. It has helped me prioritize my life.

I used homeopathy, acupuncture, yoga and meditation in conjunction with my chemotherapy to help me get stronger again after the cancer. I also chanted with Buddhist friends and prayed with Christian friends. I covered all my bases.

I simply have a marvellous life, a very lucky life.

Family, nature and health all go together.

We print 37 million copies, and we found out about the unfortunate news as we were putting the issue to bed.

I feel very passionately that we need to take care of the planet and everything on it. Whether it's saving the Amazon or just being kind to those around you, we need to take care of each other and Mother Earth.

I'm happy, and I think being happy keeps you looking young.

I am fortunate to have the ability to lend my name to build the Olivia Newton-John Cancer and Wellness Centre in my hometown of Melbourne. It will be a state-of-the-art facility to help heal the whole person - body, mind and spirit.

The only weights I lift are my dogs.

Nature is the most beautiful thing we have. It's better than art because it's from the creator.

When I first arrived in America, the very first place I came was California, and I rented a house in Trance, which is about half an hour from Malibu.

Fight each round take it on the chin. And never never never ever give in.
