I mean, it's endless.

And when I discover an artist,

I have to go as deep into it as I can.

But then there are the songs themselves, which is something I've moved into later.

So initially it was me doing other people and then it was the songs.

And I'm about to head back into the song land where I just sing songs again.

And possibly in the future, I'm considering revisiting the work where I used to do impressions of people because that was really what made me, what made my career initially, was what brought me to the attention of a lot of people.

And eventually this career I'm having was how I started out, which was doing impressions.

My dad was born in Cairo in Egypt.

And his mother, my paternal grandmother, was born in Port Said in Egypt.

They're Egyptians, but their bloodline is Greek.

So they're not Egyptians.

They would say they're not Egyptians, although born in Egypt and multi-generational Egyptian Greeks.

But they had a real thing about blood in my family.

I mean, when we were children, my Greek grandmother, who migrated to Australia with my father in 1958.

Well, I believe they were kicked out.

All the Greek Egyptians were kicked out.

All the Europeans were kicked out of Egypt.

The government, the then government, forced everyone out, even though my grandmother and my father were born there.

My grandfather migrated to Egypt from Greece.
