Kylie Minogue never wants to stop performing and can see herself 'going out with a purple rinse'.

The 41-year-old singer has just announced the release of her eleventh studio album, 'Aphrodite', and sees her career continuing until she is an old lady with dyed hair.

She told Elle magazine: 'I can see me going out with a purple rinse. And one of my greatest idols, Dolly Parton, keeps on doing it. We'll see.'

However, the 'All The Lovers' singer never plans ahead and likes to take on opportunities as they arise, confessing she is a 'thrill seeker'.

She added: 'I'm not very good at long-term plans. And so many opportunities arise seemingly from nowhere and I like to have the option to, say, go to Mumbai and be in a Bollywood film, just because I want the experience.

'I guess I'm a thrill-seeker. I certainly don't always take the safe option.'

The diminutive star, who has overcome breast cancer, feels very lucky and recognises she has had a great life but there is one thing she would change about herself – her height.

She said: 'Most days my glass is half full, I think I'm fortunate and blessed in all that I have. But if there are things that bug you, they will always bug you. I wouldn't mind being a few inches taller.'
