Kylie Minogue has admitted that she often thinks about quitting music.

The actress-turned-singer has had a lengthy career in pop and she has spent 2012 celebrating her 25th year in the industry.

Her 'K25' celebrations have seen a number of special events take place and Minogue is due to release 'The Abbey Road Sessions' on October 29.

Speaking to Digital Spy, the 'Flower' star said however that she's looking to have a "little breather" after this year is out. When asked if she will be taking a break in 2013, Minogue replied:

"All I know is there will be no K26! Of course I admire those women who still do it; Barbra Streisand, Dolly Parton are still making movies and still doing records. If that's to be then maybe that will happen. I do have days where I want to completely throw it in and retire."

She continued: "I just need a little breather. I'd love to do some more acting as I'm meeting these great independent directors now, which is fun. At the same time though, I'll be starting work on the next album - so it'll probably be much the same really!"
