It could potentially affect my singing if I wasn't very disciplined about how I eat before I go on stage.
Once upon a time I did eat meat.
Everything in life happens for a reason and it's important to embrace it.
Never did I dream that while I was feeling so self-conscious and inadequate in the '60s, I was actually creating The Judith Durham Look!
One of the reasons we had our reunion tours in the '90s was the unexpectedness of how the music had gone, that these songs we'd recorded should have somehow become timeless classics.
We certainly weren't expecting to become pop stars.
We wanted to be ourselves, to sing and speak with our own accent and it was fantastic that we were not asked to change.
That's what has always been so surprising for The Seekers - when you think they try to create pop stars in a contrived, manufactured way and we were just four people who just happened to meet and sing together.
When you, like if you sing a song and it gets into your brain that it becomes, it repeats and repeats like an affirmation so I find that quite empowering and quite important to keep my positive attitude to life.
I lost the power to write and I had to sort of relearn how to read and write to a certain extent and speak fluently.
You sort of feel when you are given an award, you feel like, well then you have got to do something to deserve having been given the award. It worked differently with me cause I didn't feel that I had done enough.
It's a terrific responsibility trying to look right. There is so much to think about - clothes, makeup, hair. You have to look right for your fans.
Death is just a continuation of life.
Everybody has adversity in their lives and we all have to find ways of overcoming them. You've got to soldier on, make the best of it, look for the positive in everything.
The fact that I can go to a museum and I can see one of my dresses there I start to think, 'Crikey!'
Music has always taken me to another plane of existence.
Music is nourishment.
Health is a precious gift. You realise more and more as you get older just how precious a gift it is.
Generosity of spirit is worthwhile. I've had many requests over the years to attend things, to sing somewhere. I try not to turn things down if I don't have to. The easiest thing is to say you can't manage it, but often it's more rewarding to agree to do something for someone.
If I ever have to return to dressmaking I still have that possibility.
