Kylie Minogue doesn't want to "always talk about ageing" as she works to stay "active".
The 56-year-old pop star has said she feels "a bit more settled within myself" and that working is keeps Kylie "active" and her mind "stimulated".
She told Graziadaily.co.uk: "I’m a bit more settled within myself."
She added: "I hope I won’t always be talking about [age] and there is a moment where we can just be – knowing that there’s support around and we are never alone – because it is wonderfully freeing and liberating not to be boxed in by boundaries of 'you can do this' and 'you can’t do that'.
"I feel like this ship can sail a bit easier and function better without all that drag on it."
The 'Padam Padam' hitmaker has thought about what could happen if she took a few months off "to concentrate on health and mindfulness and all that good stuff", but she does not think it would result in any benefits.
Kylie added: "But then I realise that work keeps me active and keeps my mind stimulated. It keeps this Gemini brain of mine going. I’m not ready to hit the pause button just yet."
Meanwhile, conversations around menopause and motherhood are encouraged in society, but 'The Loco-Motion' performer feels "a little sad for generations past", where people were "less understanding about what a woman goes through".
Kylie said: "The conversations about menopause, friendship, motherhood, not-motherhood are great, and it does make me feel a little sad for generations past where there was less understanding about what a woman goes through.
"Being a person and a woman is complex, so I think we take the win where we can and move with the times, but I think if we get obsessed with putting an age on everything, it’s just taking it from another angle rather than moving past it."
