Kylie Minogue, one of music's most enduring stars, has spoken about her hope to still be performing well into her 80s, attributing her career longevity to her instinctual and fluid approach. She also discusses her mindset of curiosity, fluidity, and refusal to be boxed in.
Kylie Minogue says she hopes she'll still be performing even in her 80s. Kylie Minogue has revealed she hopes she'll still be performing well into her 80s.
The 57‑year‑old pop icon, who remains one of music's most enduring stars more than three decades after her debut, was asked by The Sun whether she could imagine herself still on stage in her later years. But despite that wish, Kylie admitted she doesn't think that far ahead. She went on to explain that her entire career has been shaped by instinct rather than strategy.
Kylie said: "How I've done this, another reason why it's kind of miraculous to me is, I am not a planner.
"I say it in the documentary, I like to be fluent, I'm quite non‑committal to the ideas and notions. Are you an actor or a singer, or are you this or that…" Her comments echo a theme that has run through much of her life - that she has never wanted to be boxed in or defined by a single role.
From her early days on Neighbours to her countless reinventions across pop, dance and disco, Kylie has built a career on fluidity, curiosity and refusing to stay in one lane. She has long rejected the idea of being pinned down or told what she can't do, something she brings up in her Netflix docuseries Kylie, which lands on Netflix on May 20. She told Variety: "I've tried to figure it out these last few days.
And it kind of ties into not wanting to be defined, that we're all works in progress, we're all in motion.
" The Padam Padam hitmaker even compared her mindset to the famous Dumb and Dumber scene where Jim Carrey's character clings to the tiniest sliver of hope. She said: "It's like Dumb and Dumber. He's in love with the girl. He's like, 'What are the chances?
' She goes, 'One in a million. ' He goes, 'So there is a chance! ' That stubborn optimism has been a driving force throughout her career, especially when she felt others had already decided who she should be. "I'm self‑aware enough to know that I wasn't the person… they were expecting me to be someone else.
So give me a chance! But thankfully, I gave myself a chance. I will thank myself for that.
" She admitted that her biggest battles often happen internally, describing her resilience as something quiet but powerful. She explained: "I could get into all sorts of strife. Here we go again! What happens is in my mind, and it's a quiet determination.
It's a quiet sense of achievement.
" Even with a major documentary laying out her life story, Kylie insists she's still not easily summed up — and she prefers it that way. She added: "I talk about not being boxed in, and I still don't think I'm that definable after a three‑hour documentary. And I'm happy with that.
" Kylie launched her career in the late 1980s after breaking out on soap opera Neighbours, going on to sell more than 80 million records worldwide and becoming one of pop's most enduring chart forces.
