Olivia Newton-John Quotations

Professionally, when I did the Olympic games and sang for my country in Australia. It was a big moment, Sydney in 2000. It was just a brilliant moment in my life.

In June 1992, I discovered a lump in my breast. A subsequent mammogram, ultrasound and a needle biopsy proved negative. But my instinct said it still didn't feel right, so I had a lumpectomy. I then got the news that it was cancer.

My father was a headmaster in England and then the dean of a college in Australia. We moved there when I was about five, so my education was in Australia, and I always felt I was Australian even though my passport was British.

I still can't believe I danced with Gene Kelly. How lucky am I that I've been in movies where I've danced with two of the greatest dancers of all time - with Gene Kelly and John Travolta.

It feels really good to give back. I'm opening the Olivia Newton-John Cancer Wellness Centre in Australia.

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

I'm a very light sleeper. I get about six hours a night.

My father had the most amazing operatic voice, so I have a soft spot for that.

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

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.
