Australian beauty KYLIE MINOGUE regrets waiting until 1998 to pen her own songs.
The SPINNING AROUND singer has been topping the charts since her first hit single I SHOULD BE SO LUCKY in 1988, but waited for more than a decade to create her own music because she lacked confidence in her abilities.
She explains, "I thought maybe I'll write some of the album and if I can't, then I won't. Put it this way, I had no idea I'd become as involved as I became.
"It was just something that ended up being easier. I find writing and recording the easiest part of the process. Beyond that, you get into the record company marketing - just horrible business.
"But the writing is comparatively easier and exothermally satisfying. I surprised myself I could do it and wondered why I didn't start earlier."
