In an interview with Radio 2 Kylie Minogue has spoken about how a nervous
breakdown forced her to slow down. She reveals her father advised her to
make more time for herself after a gruelling work schedule started to make
her ill.

She says: "I did say work is easy, life can be hard. But now I'm actually
making a concerted effort to give myself breaks, to see my boyfriend, to
make time for life whereas before ... I can't even put it into words. There
was so much going on and because I like to think that I'm quite strong, and
have a strong constitution and yes, I can do it, I can do it, I can do it,
learning to say no has been very difficult, you know. I remember my dad
saying to me years ago, when I had a small nervous breakdown, in Australia:
'Darling, you know you turn up to work and that's what you are employed for
and that's what you do - but you don't have to say yes to everything'.
