Delta Goodrem

I knew who I was as a girl but I had to find who I was as a woman.

I don't think I've ever been moulded but I think I am always learning.

I used to get stressed out, but my cancer has put everything into perspective.

Anybody who has gone through a life-changing experience will tell you there is a different understanding of what is real and what is important, and when you are going through different moments, you can reflect and go, 'I have been through worse.'

I'm enjoying writing songs that are more stripped back.

I have weathered many different storms and I know who I am and my friends know who I really am.

I've done a lot of collaboration over the years, but right now I'm enjoying writing by myself and just being me again for a while.

I was at number one in Australia with both my album and my single. And then I was told I had cancer. I thought, 'What a strange turn of events.'

Pop was great fun.

I need to keep traveling, being a gypsy, having experiences and writing about them.

Most people's journeys haven't been as disjointed as mine.

I love having my hair back. It is so important to how you feel, how you dress, how you look.
