Jennifer Lopez has no plans to step out of the limelight when she hits retirement age – insisting she’ll still be singing and dancing in her seventies.

The Jenny From The Block hitmaker has taken two years out of her hectic work schedule to take care of her twins, Max and Emme, with husband Marc Anthony.

But the star is ready to get back to work – and the 40 year old insists she’ll be in showbusiness for the next 30 years.

She tells Elle, “I’ll be doing some form of this when I’m 71. This is what I do. What, because I have kids and a husband I’m not supposed to be me? I’m hyper J.Lo. Everything I wanted before, I want twice as much now. Not material things – but to explore and think more. Being an artist doesn’t start because you’re 21 and it doesn’t end because you’re 51. You are who you are until the day you die.”
