The question I'm asked most is "Do I believe in life after love?", and if no one ever asks me that again, I'd be a happy camper.

Well - Meryl had just had Mimi and wanted to get some ice cream, she was just telling me what a safe neighborhood it is. It's little Italy bordering on Chinatown. We walked around the corner, there was this huge guy ripping this girl's clothes and trying to get her purse. Meryl just took off and starting yelling running towards them. Then I did too. The guy got frightened and started running towards US!!!

I thought great, we saved the girl and now we're going to get killed. When we got to the girl, she was completely shaken up. Her dress was ripped and she was crying. We kind of patted her, and we started talking to her, and we asked her if she needed help going anywhere or doing anything.

She said she was a singing waitress. Then she started screaming "Oh my god I was just saved by Meryl Streep and Cher!!!!". Then we looked over and there were two men standing there and they didn't do anything. These two big asshole men just watched her.

Oh gosh, well, I know how to do other things. Kathleen can't do it either! But I can run around in high heels for two hours being adorable.

Well, that's more than you can ever hope for. That makes me really really happy. I'm flabbergasted. That's the second time I've used that word in the last day and I haven't used it in 25 years. When you sing a song, you never think it's going to have anything close to that type of reaction.

That song really has a hold on me. I've said this before but it really sums up my whole life in this business.

Madge, no. Actually I don't. I never hated her, I just thought she was a bitch. Actually I quite respect her.

Actually I think Madge might be one of the most amazing artists I've known. I don't like everything she does, for sure, but she is always riding the crest of the wave. She always saw trends WAY before anyone else, and had great videos.

So, besides saying "WTF if MDNA", I'm fine with it.
