"I just want to do everything. I don't want to sound soppy or too cliched, but that's the way it is"
About this Quote
The intent is clear: to claim range. Minogue’s career has always played with reinvention - actress turned singer, bubblegum pop turned club credibility, the post-“Locomotion” pivot to “Can’t Get You Out of My Head,” the long arc of surviving industry churn with a bright, controlled persona. “Everything” reads as both creative appetite and survival strategy in a business that rewards novelty but punishes visible striving. In pop, you’re expected to be effortlessly versatile: evolve constantly, but act like it just happened.
Subtextually, she’s pushing against the idea that polish equals emptiness. Kylie’s brand has often been light, glamorous, “nice” - categories that critics historically treat as unserious. This quote quietly rejects that: wanting it all isn’t vapid, it’s work. The clincher, “but that’s the way it is,” lands like a shrug with backbone: not a confession, a boundary. She won’t apologize for wanting more than one lane.
