In a recent chat with New York Daily, Madonna spoke
about her new album, why she dates younger men and why she can still
show her butt at 56 lol! Read excerpts from the interview below.
On her new album
“There’s a lot of reminiscing on this album. I’ve been doing what I’ve been doing for over three decades, so in many ways I feel like a survivor. I see that many of my peers, and friends, and people I collaborated with are no longer with us. That gave me pause. I said, ‘Wow, I can’t believe I made it this far.’ That was a catalyst for me. There’s a looking back here, a missing the beginning of my career when I was surrounded by other artists — not musical artists, but artist-artists — like Keith Haring and Basquiat and Warhol. It was a time when pop music was more naive and free. I was missing that feeling and that mixture of so many different worlds in New York”
On the reason why she dates younger men
“Most men my age are married with children. They’re not datable. I’m a very adventurous person and I also have a crazy life. I’m a single mother. I have four children. I mean, you have to be pretty open-minded and adventurous to want to step into my world. People who are older, and more set in their ways, are probably not as adventurous as someone younger.”

When asked about those who found it
offensive, if not disgusting, that, at that age, she showed parts of her
behind to a worldwide audience at the Grammys.
“Bitch, this is what my ass looks like — show me
what your ass looks like when you’re 56. I take care of myself. I’m in
good shape. I can show my ass when I’m 56, or 66 — or 76. Who’s to say
when I can show my ass? It’s sexism. It’s ageism. And it’s a kind of
discrimination”
