A Quote by Olivia Newton-John

I've always been aware of my health - when you are having to go on stage and perform, you need to be feeling good - but when I was diagnosed with a life-threatening illness, I became really, really conscious of my health.
I've obviously come from a health background. I was a doctor before I became a pollie and one of the things I'd like to do is to really build on the world-class health system we've got. I'm passionate about climate change because it's also a health issue. Things like extreme weather impact on people's health, the ability of our hospitals to cope, the impact on mental health, on farmers in regional areas - they're all serious health concerns.
Even though I've been diagnosed with a heart condition, I've had no symptoms and have been cleared to play by the National Institute of Health. The health issue was never a factor in contract negotiations.
Since September 2013, I have been in a really good place with my health. But I still have to be conscious about keeping it in that good place and taking care of myself.
Health is not simply the absence of illness. Real health is the will to overcome every form of adversity and use even the worst of circumstances as a springboard for new growth and development. Simply put, the essence of health is the constant renewal and rejuvenation of life.
Even to survive and have everyone in good health now is really precious. Bands half our age don't even get that lucky sometimes. It's good to practice gratitude, as they say. I used to be so ungracious, I wasn't even aware that I should be feeling grateful! Now I actually try and put it into my daily thought: Be grateful. It's not always so easy.
I became really interested in the community health care movement and community health centers, which Boston was sort of a leading center for.
I'm always, always really health conscious - even more so on tour.
I've pretty much always used my positions as a bully pulpit. What that means is strongly advocating for the things I feel are really important. Gun violence, to me, is the highest-priority public-health issue, and I have to make sure Congress is aware of it, the American people are aware of it, the president is aware of it, and that we all begin together to develop policies to exterminate the disease - the epidemic, really - of gun violence.
In the same way that we want to expand mental health service for people with mental illness, we also need to make sure that our police officers are getting the mental health help they need.
If I ever had to choose between having a good mind and good health with having big success, then there's no contest: I'd put my health first every time.
The response from the beginning has been really, really wonderful and positive. People have always really responded to me talking about mental health.
Not only have I improved my mental health, I've actually made a real conscious decision to go and improve my physical health, as well.
The result was, of course, that today, tragically, more than 40 million Americans don't have health insurance, and for many, not having health insurance means they don't have access to good health care.
I've always been aware of mortality because I've always had ill health most of my life.
Mental health is one of the biggest concerns, because now police are having to handle a lot of really difficult mental health problems on the street.
In health care, you really need a balance of people who need health care today, tomorrow, and in the future.
