Olivia Newton-John doesn't know why she's a gay icon...

There are stars who give you so much in interviews, thoughtful answers with some depth. Then there are those who give little short answers and you just sit there wondering, 'How am I gonna get them to SAY SOMETHING?"

I sense the latter happened in this AfterElton.com interview with the Grammy-winning singer Olivia Newton-John who as an actress has starred in gay faves "Grease, " "Xanadu" and "Sordid Lives" as well as the AIDS drama "It's My Party." She is currently a cast member of "Sordid Lives" TV series on Logo.

She was asked when did she first realize she was a gay icon: "I really don't know, I don't think about being an icon really. The gay fans have always been very loyal, there are a really great audience and have always been there for me."

Here are a few of the answers where she said a little more.
On Meeting Kathy Griffin during Mardi Gras in Sydney: She and Carson Kressley were staying in the same hotel I was and my publicist said Kathy would like you to do her show (My Life on the D-List). I thought well that could be funny because I have never met her, if you can imagine, and she's something! [Laughing] you really have no idea what she is going to say, I think I survived OK. [laughing]

On her movie "Xanadu": which was a massive bomb but went on to be a cult fave and a Broadway show: "I was embarrassed by it. I love the music, but the script wasn't very good, it was not well received upon release, but people enjoyed it and it attained a different kind of status after that. ...Now I think it's a hoot, and I got to dance with Gene Kelly, how amazing is that?!"
