Kylie Minogue finds acting liberating.
The 45-year-old star appeared alongside Nick Cave in the fantasy drama 'Holy Motors' in 2012 and is set to reunite with the musician this year for '20,000 Days on Earth', and she's admitted she gets a thrill from acting because she can pretend to be someone else.
She told Digital Spy: "'Holy Motors' was great ... It was just such a nice change to step out of ... it's kind of a weird thing when your career is being a heightened, more glamorous version of yourself.
"I'm Kylie with my family and I'm Kylie with the lights on in my other work. So to just be a different character is challenging and liberating."
The 'Cant Get You Out of My Head' hitmaker released her new album 'Kiss Me Once' earlier this week and has revealed '20,000 Days on Earth' may reveal a side of her people don't know about.
Speaking about her scene in the documentary, she added: "We have a scene where he's driving me, I'm in the backseat of the car and he's chauffeuring me around Brighton, his current home town, and really it wasn't scripted we just talked.
"Nick has this ability to make me very honest and say things that I might not say with other people."

Joe Cornish will direct spy thriller 'Section 6'.
The writer-and-director behind the cult hit 'Attack of the Block' is set helm the upcoming Universal Studios project, which will feature rising star Jack O'Connell in a lead role.
The film - which is being eyed as the start of a new franchise - follows the formation of British intelligence agency MI6 during the First World War and will depict its first director, Sir George Mansfield Cummings.
Many A-list actors have expressed interested in playing Cummings, according to TheWrap, while O'Connell will play a "promising young" MI6 operative in the flick.
Cummings is widely recognised as the inspiration for M in the James Bond feature films.
Screenwriter Aaron Berg's script for 'Section 6' was at the centre of a ferocious studio bidding war last October, but Universal ultimately outbid Sony Pictures for the rights to the film.
Cornish has recently been linked to direct 'Star Trek 3', however, it's thought he has been selective about his next project and was more enticed by the prospect of launching a franchise with 'Section 6'.
The writer-director co-wrote Marvel's upcoming superhero action feature 'Ant-Man', which will be directed by Edgar Wright and star Paul Rudd.
Meanwhile, O'Connell is quickly becoming one of the hottest prospects in Hollywood since finding fame in British TV drama 'Skins'.
He has earned critical acclaim for independent Brit drama 'Starred Up' and will next be seen in Angelina Jolie's next directorial effort, 'Unbroken', for which he is already earning awards buzz.

Cameron Diaz says "everyone will be cheated on".
The 41-year-old actress - who plays Carly, a woman who unknowingly dates a married man, in comedy 'The Other Woman' - insists she doesn't want to make movies about men cheating on women, but believes most people have, or will, experience betrayal at some point in their lives.
She told OK! magazine: "I didn't make the movie to make a statement. My statement is that I'm actually not interested in making movies about men cheating on women, it's not at all what I am interested in.
"Everybody has been cheated on, everyone will be cheated on. I can't fix that, I don't know how, I don't have any judgement on anybody, I don't know how to fix the problem."
Diaz believes all humans suffer at one point in their lives but thinks they should learn from their errors.
She added: "We are human beings, we are complicated - you cannot go through life without tallying up a few scars, you cannot go through life unscathed, it's just what it is. It's all meant to happen, take your lessons, figure it out, move on."

Sofia Coppola will direct a live-action version of 'The Little Mermaid'.
The filmmaker has reportedly set her sights on Hans Christian Andersen's tragic fairy tale as her next project after 2013's 'The Bling Ring', and is in negotiations to bring the classic children's story to life on the big screen, Deadline.com is reporting.
Fans shouldn't expect a repeat of Disney's bubblegum 1989 cartoon version about aquatic princess Ariel and talking crab Sebastian, however.
Coppola is thought to be planning a version in keeping with the original 1837 story, which sees the broken-hearted Little Mermaid commit suicide after the Prince marries another woman.
The new Universal Pictures/Working Title production is said to be based on a script by Caroline Thompson ('Edward Scissorhands'), which was originally drafted by Kelly Marcel ('Saving Mr. Banks') and Abi Morgan ('Shame').
Coppola is taking over from 'Atonement' helmer Joe Wright, who was originally on board to direct, and intends to "move quickly" with the project.
The director has young daughters Romy and Cosima with her husband, Phoenix frontman Thomas Mars, and is said to want to make a movie which her children can appreciate.
