Madonna on Money

“What was wonderful about the money was that I

could put a roof over my head and food in my stomach, but

after that it just becomes unnecessary,”

Madonna tells Grazia magazine. “Then you

begin to realize there are whole areas of your life

where you are not happy. I was definitely lonely 10 and

15 years ago. There are whole chunks of my life where I was

so lonely, and periods where I felt I didn’t have a friend in

the world and wondered if it was ever going to be possible

for me to have a relationship that was going to last.”

Madonna credits her turnaround to “finding a man who can handle me” — film

director Guy Ritchie, who is now her husband.
