Bjork did a webchat yesterday and amongst the famous people who asked questions was none other than Ms. Minogue here's what she had to ask.....

Kylie Minogue, London: My manager Terry recalls having a conversation with you backstage at an awards ceremony and you were both discussing the merits and difficulties of buying a private island. Do you still harbour the desire to find such a retreat and what were/are your reasons for wishing to do so? Is it to escape the oppressive feeling that public and media attention can bring or do you think you would still have thought about this even if you were not known.

Björk: I think I have romanticised about this since I was a little kid. I almost bought one at one point but when it became public, I retreated so it must be connected with an escape. I have to say though, that when I'm making a lot of music, and singing a lot, I don't think as much about islands. So, it started me thinking that maybe I don't need one literally, it's more of a state of mind. I still dream about getting one, though. Maybe when I get old, with a pipe organ and a lighthouse and a lot of birds.
