The beginning of Madonna’s upcoming era is coming closer as days go by and all eyes are once again on her. The Queen of Pop has now gone and graced the cover of Interview magazine’s Art issue, which also includes a not-so-safe-for-work photoshoot and a rather entertaining interview.
Madonna posed in lingerie for the editorial and the three different covers of Interview. Photographed by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, she didn’t hesitate to take of some clothes and show off her skin, or even go as far as to reveal her boobs in one shot.
The “Hung Up” star was interviewed by magician and illusionist David Blaine and as most of Madonna’s interviews, this was an interesting one. From her appreciation of silence and thinking in artistry, to early career memories and general beliefs, there’s plenty to take from. Take a look at some of the main topics raised below.
- On her perspective of death, after her mother’s passing.
I became very obsessed with death, and the idea that you never know when death will arrive, so one has to do as much as possible all the time to get the most out of life. That would be a motivating force. And death was a big part of my life growing up. I went to lots of funerals
- On hanging out with artists (Martin Burgoyne, Keith Haring, Basquiat, Warhol etc.) in her early days
I was attracted to creative people. You don’t want to be the smartest person in the room; you want to be the dumbest in the room. You want to be surrounded by other thinking people who are going to say something that makes you think, “Oh, my God, that’s an amazing idea. Why didn’t I think of that.”
- On a brand-new song from her album, titled “Devil Prays”
It’s about how people take drugs to connect to God or to a higher level of consciousness, […] that’s the illusion of drugs, because they give you the illusion of getting closer to God, but ultimately they kill you. They destroy you. I mean, I tried everything once, but as soon as I was high, I spent my time drinking tons of water to get it out of my system. As soon as I was high, I was obsessed with flushing it out of me. I was like, “Okay, I’m done now.”
- On wether songwriting is easier when she’s happy or sad
Sad. [laughs] Unfortunately. But it’s okay, because I’m sad most of the time, so we’re good. Not sad, but upset about something.
