Six decades of stardom havent diminished Dolly Parton s interest in pushing the envelope.

The country superstar, who turned 74 on Jan. 19, told 60 Minutes Australia in an interview that aired Sunday that she has no plans to retire anytime soon. If she has her way, shell mark her 75th birthday next year on the cover of Playboy magazine, in which she first appeared in 1978 at age 32.

I did Playboy magazine years ago, and I thought itd be such a hoot if theyll go for it I dont know if they will if I could be on the cover again when Im 75, she said. As to whether shed opt for the same black bustier, bow tie and bunny ear get-up, she added, Maybe ... boobs are still the same!

Well, I don't plan to retire. I just turned 74! With her signature charm and unique voice, its so easy to see why fans will always love @DollyParton #60Mins pic.twitter.com/RlPme7tumJ

At the time of her first appearance, Parton was the first female country artist to appear on Playboys cover. Though the photos accompanying that 1978 interview did not contain any nudity, her participation was still seen as a risky move for a mainstream star.

The nine-time Grammy winner has, of course, never been limited by her age, and she laughed off the idea that she is somehow too mature for Playboy.

Im kind of cartoonish and cartoons dont really age that much, she told 60 Minutes Australia, adding, When Im 90, Ill probably look about the same way. Just thicker makeup, bigger hair!

Currently promoting a new A&E documentary special, Biography: Dolly , Parton has been enjoying one of her many career resurgences as of late. Last fall, she made a surprisingly convincing dance diva on the song Faith , in which she collaborated with Swedish electronic dance music duo Galantis .
