1. Sit down interview with singer Kylie Minogue, soundbites include:
"I felt so strongly that it should be the first single. And yet I’m still really, really chuffed when I hear it on the radio, which is not a great way of promoting my own record. But, I really, it comes on the radio and I go, ‘Hm! Hm! They’re playing it!’ I mean, it sounds great but it just sounds . . . it just sticks out like a sore thumb. I think it was brave of them to play it."
"’Can’t Get You Out My Head,’ — a song like that . . . Hey! If I had another one, I’d probably give it to you. But you can’t just click your fingers and come up with those. And ‘Slow’ and ‘Body Language’ . . . It’s a different, it’s a different beast. That’s what I’ve been saying. It has a different life. No two albums are gonna work the same."
"So, I keep reading these stories: ‘Now it’s the military-style campaign to go and break America.’ No, I’ve got an album coming out so I’m doing two weeks promotion there. Yeah, it really depends on the person’s perspective if they want to say I’m doing well here, or ‘Will she? Is she ever gonna? She’s not on tea towels yet. So she hasn’t quite made it.’ I don’t know. For me, just the success that I’ve had in the last couple years is all just a big bonus. It’s like an extra helping of dessert."
"’Red Blooded Woman’ — it’s got a strong urban influence, which is really not where I’m from but that’s more or less what’s taken over pop music, current pop music. And what’s interesting in pop is the electro, anything that’s got that retro nature to it, and therefore becomes modern, the way they interpret that. And urban rhythms, hip-hop, R&B."
"Scary, really bizarre. Not totally, entirely new to me because I have had representations of me at Madame Tussaud’s in London, so that was strange as well: being able to walk around yourself and say, ‘Hm! That’s my collarbone. My god, they are my ears!’ You can never, ever see yourself like that, so that was strange. But then to see a miniature, the prototype of the head: strange."
"I don’t think it’s one or the other for me. It’s just a question of balance. And I don’t think you find the balance and then you’re set. I think that will continue for the rest of my life. If I ever did have a family, that’s going to mean a whole lot of balance. At the moment, it’s really between work and my private time."
