Enrique Iglesias talks retirement

MEXICO CITY "I'm not sure I want to be up on a stage when I'm 64 or 65," the 32-year-old pop star told The Associated Press. "In my father's case, I think he's going to die onstage and I respect that very much. In my case, in 15 years I'll probably look ridiculous singing 'Bailamos' ('Let's Dance')."

The Madrid-born artist - who debuted in 1995 with a self-titled album and releases the greatest hits compilation "95/08" in March - said dissatisfaction with his own work is what drives him to continue performing and recording.

"When I listen to my music I think it can still continue to evolve," he said. "After a couple of months go by, I think I could write a better song."

Iglesias said he is striving to make the perfect record - "One you listen to 10, 15, 20 years from now and say, 'Oh! I wouldn't change a thing."'

And until Iglesias makes that album, it seems his plans could change.

"I want to retire in the next 15 years," Iglesias said. "But that's what I say now. Who knows if I'll have the courage to do it when the day comes."
