Oliver Martinez Stopped Kylie Minogue From Feeling Like a Victim  11/1/06

Kylie Minogue has paid tribute to her boyfriend Oliver Martinez for refusing to allow her to feel sorry for herself during her breast cancer battle.

The Australian singer admits there were times last year (05) when she wanted to curl up and cry forever, but the French actor reminded her to be strong.

She says, "He is the most honorable man I have ever met. He's surprising.

"On particularly dark days, I'd be lying on the bathroom floor wailing and he'd say, 'OK, honey, you can cry for just five minutes, then I'm taking you on a bike ride around Paris.'

"So I'd howl a bit more then I'd find myself thinking, 'Hmm. Actually, a ride on the bike sounds pretty good.'"
