<v Speaker 1>I mean, you're in La at the moment. You kind

0:01:09.200 --> 0:01:12.360
<v Speaker 1>of pick your life up and move to different cities,

0:01:12.920 --> 0:01:14.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, for a period of time. How do you

0:01:14.600 --> 0:01:16.880
<v Speaker 1>navigate health around this you know.

0:01:16.880 --> 0:01:17.880
<v Speaker 2>What it does.

0:01:18.880 --> 0:01:20.760
<v Speaker 3>I would say I've even learned so much since the

0:01:20.800 --> 0:01:24.080
<v Speaker 3>last time we spoke, because I think I'm learning new

0:01:24.120 --> 0:01:26.319
<v Speaker 3>boundaries as time goes on, and what I can and

0:01:26.360 --> 0:01:29.440
<v Speaker 3>can't do with my time, and just going okay, you

0:01:29.440 --> 0:01:31.080
<v Speaker 3>know what I can do this or I can't.

0:01:31.120 --> 0:01:32.840
<v Speaker 2>I think that that's definitely been.

0:01:33.360 --> 0:01:36.640
<v Speaker 3>The sportsman that has had to be able to travel

0:01:36.640 --> 0:01:39.039
<v Speaker 3>as much as we do and then get into the

0:01:39.120 --> 0:01:42.880
<v Speaker 3>rhythm of you know, I know my body.

0:01:42.640 --> 0:01:43.800
<v Speaker 2>When it comes to jet lag.

0:01:43.880 --> 0:01:46.640
<v Speaker 3>It's like, okay, I have to stay on the same

0:01:47.040 --> 0:01:48.800
<v Speaker 3>time for that first three days.

0:01:48.840 --> 0:01:51.200
<v Speaker 2>I have to get into a country and stay on

0:01:51.280 --> 0:01:52.240
<v Speaker 2>the at eight am.

0:01:52.320 --> 0:01:54.800
<v Speaker 3>We've chosen eight am was when I get up. This

0:01:54.840 --> 0:01:57.800
<v Speaker 3>is the time to go to bed. And just really

0:01:57.880 --> 0:02:01.520
<v Speaker 3>still trying to prioritize my voice with so many shows,

0:02:01.560 --> 0:02:04.040
<v Speaker 3>like just trying to work out when I can because

0:02:04.040 --> 0:02:04.919
<v Speaker 3>I'm a chatter box.

0:02:05.080 --> 0:02:08.359
<v Speaker 1>So you know, that's always been a what does that?

0:02:08.520 --> 0:02:11.200
<v Speaker 1>What does that involve? Looking after your voice? How do

0:02:11.200 --> 0:02:12.320
<v Speaker 1>you look after your voice?

0:02:12.880 --> 0:02:15.200
<v Speaker 3>I mean so much it is you know, you have

0:02:15.280 --> 0:02:18.000
<v Speaker 3>your steamer which you're constantly trying to keep hydrated in

0:02:18.000 --> 0:02:20.239
<v Speaker 3>your voice. You'll notice, you know a lot of artists

0:02:20.280 --> 0:02:22.520
<v Speaker 3>when you go into their room they've got these humidifiers

0:02:22.520 --> 0:02:25.800
<v Speaker 3>a lot of the time. Or it's setting an environment where,

0:02:26.240 --> 0:02:29.120
<v Speaker 3>you know, amongst sort of going out and having so

0:02:29.200 --> 0:02:31.520
<v Speaker 3>much energy, you also have like a peaceful environment.

0:02:31.600 --> 0:02:33.480
<v Speaker 2>Even if it's in.

0:02:32.919 --> 0:02:36.240
<v Speaker 3>A motel in the middle of Scotland where we were

0:02:36.320 --> 0:02:39.480
<v Speaker 3>last like a couple of weeks ago, and it's freezing,

0:02:39.560 --> 0:02:42.240
<v Speaker 3>you silk, You set up your little little things that

0:02:42.360 --> 0:02:46.120
<v Speaker 3>make it feel like home and you can recover. Just

0:02:46.560 --> 0:02:49.720
<v Speaker 3>environments where you can recover. That is where what I

0:02:49.919 --> 0:02:52.720
<v Speaker 3>definitely kind of continue to work out. But you always

0:02:52.720 --> 0:02:55.359
<v Speaker 3>has to have quiet time. It has to be hydrated,

0:02:55.520 --> 0:02:57.440
<v Speaker 3>it has to be warmed up and stretched like a

0:02:57.480 --> 0:03:00.600
<v Speaker 3>normal muscle. You know, there is so many specs to

0:03:00.720 --> 0:03:02.160
<v Speaker 3>it being having to be looked after.

0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:06.120
<v Speaker 1>So you know, talked a bit about recovery, and I

0:03:06.120 --> 0:03:08.359
<v Speaker 1>think that's really interesting because so much we think about

0:03:08.360 --> 0:03:11.639
<v Speaker 1>that in terms of sports men and women, you know context.

0:03:11.720 --> 0:03:14.119
<v Speaker 1>But you're right, you have to be on, you're energetic,

0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:16.600
<v Speaker 1>you're up, so what do you do when you're down?

0:03:17.280 --> 0:03:19.080
<v Speaker 2>You've alice. You've always has to warm up and it

0:03:19.120 --> 0:03:19.839
<v Speaker 2>has to cool down.

0:03:19.880 --> 0:03:21.800
<v Speaker 3>It is exactly the same as a muscle and I

0:03:21.840 --> 0:03:25.400
<v Speaker 3>think that there's there's this psychology that I think with

0:03:25.880 --> 0:03:28.040
<v Speaker 3>musicians because it is a heart space and a sort

0:03:28.040 --> 0:03:30.840
<v Speaker 3>of a communication between listener and between artists in the

0:03:31.280 --> 0:03:33.720
<v Speaker 3>words that are you know, maybe speaking to that person

0:03:33.720 --> 0:03:35.840
<v Speaker 3>in that moment in their life.

0:03:35.960 --> 0:03:37.240
<v Speaker 2>I think that it's.

0:03:37.160 --> 0:03:39.960
<v Speaker 3>Sort of as a it's not as highlighted as a

0:03:40.080 --> 0:03:42.240
<v Speaker 3>you know, as the kind of craft of the lift

0:03:42.240 --> 0:03:44.480
<v Speaker 3>off before you get on stage, which is really important.

0:03:44.520 --> 0:03:47.560
<v Speaker 3>I was watching on Jovi's documentary and he was dealing

0:03:47.560 --> 0:03:50.760
<v Speaker 3>with You're constantly dealing with just keeping inflammation down, like

0:03:50.960 --> 0:03:53.640
<v Speaker 3>exactly the same as muscles. So being on tour is

0:03:53.920 --> 0:03:56.160
<v Speaker 3>a lot of just making sure that you can that

0:03:56.240 --> 0:03:59.120
<v Speaker 3>your body and physicality can sort of be able to

0:03:59.240 --> 0:04:00.800
<v Speaker 3>wind down and also.

0:04:00.560 --> 0:04:02.640
<v Speaker 2>Be able to amp up and get ready for for

0:04:02.680 --> 0:04:03.080
<v Speaker 2>a show.

0:04:03.680 --> 0:04:06.080
<v Speaker 1>You almost need like something written on your palm. I

0:04:06.080 --> 0:04:08.200
<v Speaker 1>can't talk right now? How do you actually not talk?

0:04:09.160 --> 0:04:11.520
<v Speaker 3>The only way that I can do that is by

0:04:11.600 --> 0:04:15.280
<v Speaker 3>isolating myself. That's kind of I've I Otherwise, I know

0:04:15.400 --> 0:04:18.799
<v Speaker 3>I will want to chime in and you know, play,

0:04:19.279 --> 0:04:23.719
<v Speaker 3>you know. So the only my biggest recovery is like

0:04:24.040 --> 0:04:25.600
<v Speaker 3>having a day where I watch.

0:04:25.720 --> 0:04:28.280
<v Speaker 2>A TV show and I zone in like it's the

0:04:28.360 --> 0:04:30.760
<v Speaker 2>only way I can just stop.

0:04:31.279 --> 0:04:33.720
<v Speaker 3>And actually, you know, I think a lot of girls,

0:04:34.279 --> 0:04:36.000
<v Speaker 3>you know, I know, you know, so if it's like

0:04:36.200 --> 0:04:39.000
<v Speaker 3>get on the trash TV or something that can completely

0:04:39.080 --> 0:04:41.839
<v Speaker 3>zone me out and you know, do my work on

0:04:41.880 --> 0:04:42.960
<v Speaker 3>my laptop and be quiet.

0:04:43.200 --> 0:04:45.240
<v Speaker 1>Do you have a favorite trash TV show?

0:04:45.760 --> 0:04:47.600
<v Speaker 2>Well, of course it's you know, like I'm at the moment,

0:04:47.640 --> 0:04:52.640
<v Speaker 2>I'm into love is blind. You know, it doesn't love that.

0:04:53.480 --> 0:04:56.400
<v Speaker 2>I love them all on to a bus.

0:04:56.160 --> 0:04:58.920
<v Speaker 3>When we wish and I recently I was forcing all

0:04:58.960 --> 0:05:01.240
<v Speaker 3>the all the band to watch a perfect match.

0:05:01.320 --> 0:05:06.360
<v Speaker 2>That was love it. Now I didn't appreciate it as

0:05:06.400 --> 0:05:09.760
<v Speaker 2>much as I had hoped. I'm watching the Castle after that?

0:05:10.080 --> 0:05:13.680
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, make everyone watch the castle. Great idea. Yeah, now,

0:05:13.880 --> 0:05:16.800
<v Speaker 1>he did tell us last year, you've learned how important

0:05:16.800 --> 0:05:20.080
<v Speaker 1>it is to you know, have balanced but also have fun.

0:05:20.680 --> 0:05:24.240
<v Speaker 1>How is balanced looking this time round? Because you know,

0:05:24.320 --> 0:05:26.520
<v Speaker 1>life ebbs and flows, we have the ups and downs.

0:05:26.520 --> 0:05:28.839
<v Speaker 1>Are you feeling balanced? So to speak?

0:05:28.880 --> 0:05:31.760
<v Speaker 3>Now? I think I think that that came into my

0:05:31.839 --> 0:05:35.200
<v Speaker 3>life from love in my life as well from my partner.

0:05:35.320 --> 0:05:39.080
<v Speaker 3>But but I think now it's more it's an enchapter

0:05:39.120 --> 0:05:44.800
<v Speaker 3>of I'm feeling really inspired, really creative, and enjoying so

0:05:44.920 --> 0:05:47.359
<v Speaker 3>much work coming to a place where you're right, the

0:05:47.480 --> 0:05:49.560
<v Speaker 3>enjoyment had stepped in, and now I'm sort of just

0:05:49.600 --> 0:05:53.760
<v Speaker 3>moving with my passion and wherever that flows into, I'll

0:05:53.800 --> 0:05:56.640
<v Speaker 3>give it my everything for that, and also, you know,

0:05:56.720 --> 0:06:00.160
<v Speaker 3>allowing projects to to you know, just kind of making

0:06:00.200 --> 0:06:02.720
<v Speaker 3>the album if it's making the show, if it's I'm

0:06:02.720 --> 0:06:03.880
<v Speaker 3>just really enjoying.

0:06:03.520 --> 0:06:06.919
<v Speaker 2>That, or being on the road, or or you know, or.

0:06:07.080 --> 0:06:09.960
<v Speaker 3>When we made the commercial recently, or like whatever it is.

0:06:10.000 --> 0:06:13.440
<v Speaker 3>We I sort of just move where move where the

0:06:13.480 --> 0:06:14.040
<v Speaker 3>passion is.

0:06:14.680 --> 0:06:22.039
<v Speaker 1>Watch Out Delta is in her inspiration era. We like error. Now,

0:06:22.400 --> 0:06:23.760
<v Speaker 1>can we just take a moment to talk about that

0:06:23.760 --> 0:06:26.440
<v Speaker 1>magnificent dress you wear in the new optasad That is

0:06:26.560 --> 0:06:28.760
<v Speaker 1>just beautiful? Do you ever get sick of wearing these

0:06:28.760 --> 0:06:29.560
<v Speaker 1>amazing dresses?

0:06:30.240 --> 0:06:33.640
<v Speaker 2>No? Absolutely no I don't. I very very.

0:06:33.480 --> 0:06:38.719
<v Speaker 3>Grateful, my beautiful, my beautiful friend Maggie who talked to

0:06:38.720 --> 0:06:42.920
<v Speaker 3>tool Addict and she made that dress for the Optus commercial.

0:06:43.240 --> 0:06:44.800
<v Speaker 3>Do you know the crazy thing? I had done an

0:06:44.839 --> 0:06:48.240
<v Speaker 3>Optus commercial in nineteen ninety three, so that was I

0:06:48.279 --> 0:06:49.840
<v Speaker 3>had done one when I was about seven years old.

0:06:49.880 --> 0:06:52.560
<v Speaker 3>It's one of my first ever commercials, and I had

0:06:52.560 --> 0:06:55.160
<v Speaker 3>a gold dress that I still have in storage no way,

0:06:55.320 --> 0:06:57.440
<v Speaker 3>and it was made for that and then I and

0:06:57.480 --> 0:07:01.320
<v Speaker 3>then cut to thirty years later and I, I'm getting

0:07:01.320 --> 0:07:03.520
<v Speaker 3>to have this beautiful dress with the team for this

0:07:03.839 --> 0:07:04.560
<v Speaker 3>TV commercial.

0:07:04.600 --> 0:07:05.200
<v Speaker 2>So it was.

0:07:05.200 --> 0:07:09.520
<v Speaker 3>Really lovely to have a fully interesting, full circle moment again.

0:07:09.760 --> 0:07:11.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I like that. Now just quickly be before we

0:07:11.680 --> 0:07:13.760
<v Speaker 1>go for any listeners. You know, looking at you, you've

0:07:13.760 --> 0:07:16.560
<v Speaker 1>got a busy life, and you know you're managing the

0:07:16.600 --> 0:07:19.640
<v Speaker 1>demands of career and health and time for yourself. What

0:07:19.840 --> 0:07:21.560
<v Speaker 1>does just going back to the idea of balance, what

0:07:21.600 --> 0:07:24.280
<v Speaker 1>does it look like for you a balance life?

0:07:25.000 --> 0:07:26.920
<v Speaker 2>I mean every I mean I always say everything in moderation,

0:07:27.080 --> 0:07:27.880
<v Speaker 2>but it is.

0:07:28.520 --> 0:07:31.280
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I'm probably I probably tip a little bit more.

0:07:32.840 --> 0:07:36.360
<v Speaker 3>I do tend to work a lot, I am. I've

0:07:36.400 --> 0:07:38.920
<v Speaker 3>always been like that. I've always been an energizer buddy,

0:07:38.920 --> 0:07:40.560
<v Speaker 3>and I got that from my mom. My mom and

0:07:40.640 --> 0:07:43.640
<v Speaker 3>dad both worked very hard. But at the same time,

0:07:43.680 --> 0:07:47.120
<v Speaker 3>the balance is that you know, I do get to

0:07:47.160 --> 0:07:49.480
<v Speaker 3>the gym, I do get to you know, go We

0:07:49.520 --> 0:07:50.440
<v Speaker 3>went for a high essay.

0:07:50.480 --> 0:07:53.240
<v Speaker 2>It was but it was boiling hot and I was

0:07:53.280 --> 0:07:56.960
<v Speaker 2>like this is too hot. The balance is off on

0:07:57.000 --> 0:08:00.960
<v Speaker 2>the temperature here. But I do you know, I enjoy

0:08:01.000 --> 0:08:02.120
<v Speaker 2>all the small things as.

0:08:01.960 --> 0:08:04.600
<v Speaker 3>Well as in like I enjoy just a beautiful cup

0:08:04.600 --> 0:08:07.200
<v Speaker 3>of coffee, and I know that sounds. I love having

0:08:07.200 --> 0:08:10.360
<v Speaker 3>my morning coffee. I love having my little just time

0:08:10.520 --> 0:08:14.640
<v Speaker 3>to you know, seat of the piano and reflect or.

0:08:15.200 --> 0:08:18.440
<v Speaker 3>My version of balance is having the moment in the

0:08:18.520 --> 0:08:20.920
<v Speaker 3>tour of us where I can watch a girly show

0:08:21.000 --> 0:08:24.480
<v Speaker 3>for me, you know, or having the balance of you know,

0:08:24.720 --> 0:08:26.840
<v Speaker 3>just I do feel like we have a balance because

0:08:26.840 --> 0:08:29.480
<v Speaker 3>I because I get to work with a Matt as well.

0:08:29.520 --> 0:08:32.600
<v Speaker 3>We find our balance of our friends kind of travel

0:08:32.600 --> 0:08:35.200
<v Speaker 3>with us as well. We have to bring family, you know,

0:08:35.240 --> 0:08:37.920
<v Speaker 3>and that's kind of it's a bit of a gypsy life.

0:08:38.120 --> 0:08:40.240
<v Speaker 2>But we make sure.

0:08:40.040 --> 0:08:42.760
<v Speaker 3>That while we're in oz we celebrate our friends and

0:08:42.840 --> 0:08:46.480
<v Speaker 3>see them and you know, all their milestones, and that's,

0:08:46.520 --> 0:08:48.720
<v Speaker 3>you know, we find a way to have our version

0:08:48.760 --> 0:08:52.320
<v Speaker 3>of balance. Everybody has their own version of what fills

0:08:52.360 --> 0:08:54.480
<v Speaker 3>their cup up, and I think we do a good

0:08:54.559 --> 0:08:55.960
<v Speaker 3>job at finding that.

0:08:55.920 --> 0:08:56.760
