I tell people to be thankful that Madonna is showing that it's possible to be ageless - people should applaud and celebrate that. Anybody who criticises her is just jealous!

I think it's very important to feed the body what it craves and not be in your head about it, panicking, carrying around some calorie-counting wheel in your bag or something equally absurd. I'm really not a fan of that at all.

When you feel your best, you're more confident in bed. It's not lights-out, under-the-covers sex. It's more like, "Take a look at this!"

Madonna is an athlete; she has to be treated like a professional athlete. She doesn't work out for six hours a day, though, like some of the press says. She never works out for more than two hours a day, and then only when she has the time.

I hate diets and I love eating.

I heard a lot in school, 'You've got a really great talent, but there's no way you're going to be a dancer with that body.

I really wanted to make it as a ballet dancer to make my mom proud. But it didnt happen.
