I was Olivia Newton-John in my lounge room for sure. I guess at the time, without even knowing it, she was a massive, massive influence, ... And do you know, she's still amazing. She came to see my show in Sydney, and I was a bit nervous thinking, 'Oh, Olivia Newton-John's here!'

To see someone coming through their own way, I think she's a great role model, and her demographics are incredible, ... She certainly crosses the border.
