When I discovered this video I was very tired and mentally switched off. Then she started talking and everything within me stated vibrating and pulsating. 'Cause I am really on her page on so many topics. Thank you, Madge, for being the kick in my ass and for reminding me that every single tiny change MATTERS. I owe you a lot.

[@helthuismartin]

The best interview with Madonna ever.

[@joancasey2868]

There IS ONLY ONE MADONNA AND WE ARE SO LUCKY TO HAVE HER SHARE HER WISDOM AND MUSIC WITH US

[@JB-pl1iu]

Madonna. You truly have the biggest balls in the music industry and are a one woman revolutionary yourself. LEGEND. ICON. MADONNA. Keep on fighting on.

[@silviaalatzia3413]

Lol..

[@vhanderlan]

I THINK THAT FEW PEOPLE REALLY PAYED ATTENTION TO THIS INTERVIEW. LISTEN TO HER, GET INSPIRED... SHE'S NOT A SILLY GIRL TRYING TO CALL ATTENTION TO SILLY THINGS. SHE'S A REAL ARTIST TRYING TO MAKE A BETTER WORLD TO EVERYBODY AROUND THE WORLD. SHE'S NOT A SAINT, I KNOW, BUT SHE SEES FROM ABOVE AND THAT'S A VERY SPECIAL SKILL AND SHE'S CALLING ATTENTION TO WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THIS WORLD. THERE'S A LOT OF SHIT GOING AROUND AND MOST OF THE PEOPLE JUST DON'T CARE ABOUT IT BECAUSE THEY'RE LIVING INSIDE THEIR CONFORT ZONE. BUT WHEN IT COLLAPSES IT WILL BE VERY LATE TO COME BACK AND FIGHT. WE WILL HAVE ALREADY LOST THE WAR AGAINST MANIQUEISM, INTOLERANCE, CORRUPTION, WILD CAPITALISM WITHOUT ANY CHANCE TO FIGHT FOR DEMOCRACY AND FREEDOM. HUMAN BEING WILL BE SO MUCH PERVERTED FOR THE LACK OF CULTURE, INTTELIGENCE AND INSENSIBILITY THAT THEY JUST WON'T FIGHT FOR ANYTHING. WE'LL BE PARALISED BY OUR OWN STUPIDITY AND IGNORANCE.

[@SusanHoltsusanmadonnastar]

"AMEN"!

[@lynnmarieanderson1744]

vaderlan Well I've got to tell you, I know you wrote that comment 2 years ago, I truly believe that in the USA where I live, a REAL revolution is about to happen to happen RIGHT NOW!!! However the hell Donald Trump somehow managed to become our President, a lot of people are getting jolted out of their complacency and just about EVERYONE wants to kick this jackass out of office, I can tell that even a lot of the Republicans can't stand him!!! And I really think this is going to start a serious debate about why the electoral college votes are the ones that REALLY decide our presidential elections and NOT the popular vote!!! We all know Hillary Clinton got more votes from everyone who voted in this country than Donald did. I bet Trump BOUGHT his way in, and if he doesn't get impeached or kicked out pretty soon, I swear I'm moving to another country!!! You're about to see some serious protests and an uprising going on in America, because he's pissing everyone off in one way or another. And I bet right now if Madonna decided to run for President, she'd WIN!!!!!

[@kuretsa1]

tHANK YOU FOR SAYING THIS.. I always hope when interviews like this with Madonna happen....where an interviewer has very very good questions and Madonna hates doing interviews that has her answering retarded questions.. so when we get interviews such as this one ...good questions, madonna anszwering thoughtfully and speaks eloquently people need to actually listen espescially ones that think she is nothing but a slut ho etc etc.....this woman is very smart , powerful , and is trying to make us think to wake us up because if she doesnt there is no one else that s going to ... please listen to this ... i dont know change her voice so it sounds like someone else dont watch only listen... we need to wake up... our world iand our freedom privacy and our individualism is being threatened and its going to be too late if we dont speak up we the people need to be one voice because it has to be loud enough to silence those in power even a little so those that still dont hear still begoin to hear and those who still are sleeping begin to wake up. its going to take us the people to make a change ... other wise we will contine to be dumbed down with all this nonesense and continue to get zombifyied by all the scary control techniques of the governement the surveillance etc.. think of our children and what theyll have to deal with if we dont change the world.. wake up

[@elnosworld9893]

If an individual wants to build a home where house already exists he must first demolish the old and remove the debris And then begin to lay a strong foundation in order to erect his castle This is what has been happening under the surface It is happening with in us and outside of us Group that is pushing towards a greater good Is etching away at the structure that was meant to glaze over that was meant to beautify But a lot of it has been superficial and now we're dealing much deeper And we are expanding ourselves The war Begins within And then it is brought out and display for all to see There are many important matters Manage group of individuals who are passionate about these matters are coming forward one by one but the revolution it begins within us and we shouldn't forget The only thing we should leave behind is here cuz it is unrealized lack of courage comes from a lack of love first for oneself and then for the other We are now in great times of change and together we are that voice for the people for the planet for plant kingdom and the animal kingdom No one should back down any longer not before we have one and we will

[@dlw1221]

@@lynnmarieanderson1744 AMEN👍

[@stevenduvall2549]

Madonna is so much more intelligent, talented, articulate and driven than her critics give her credit for. Well, they would probably concede that she is driven. Nobody has a career this huge for this long without being driven. But they must be brilliant as well. That's Madonna. Regarding the complacency in the United States, I think many people are complacent, but many of us who are not complacent have become cynical and jaded because we know our representative government is a sham. They really represent the top 1% and corporations, not the citizens. In other words: MONEY! Maybe she is factoring all of that in as well, but is so optimistic that she is expecting us to fight to regain control of our country. Not with violence, but with expression and sheer numbers. Something must be done to reform this cleptocracy!

[@Tphoenix34]

Steven DuVall i agree you took the words out of my mouth

[@alanwisdom7777]

TJ Phoenix only words ? 😂😂

[@collidingforces9589]

This has to be THE BEST Madonna interview ever. i love her input. She said things that are very true. She has an accurate way of thinking, not because she has been told to say that, but because she has experienced and witness the intolerance and threats of people for other people. She is simply fighting for the right of expression and human freedom in countries that don't have the basic rights. As simple as that. Good for her.

[@CHSMorrisseau]

I agree that these are some of the most poignant words she has truly spoken. I was actually VERY inspired by the MDNA tour and the Secret Project Revolution of love. #livingforlove

[@ussefkoufi3037]

Ggg

[@yangruikang]

這就是她聞名世界的最大原因！

[@INTUITIVENORSK2303]

So true bro! I hope you're well. Take care & Peace.

[@silviaalatzia3413]

Lol..

[@gordonandyu]

Everybody needs to watch this no matter what they think of her music and persona. She's so intelligent and full of life, energy, inspiration, power and fearlessness. People just like to see her age and her vanity and her stunts but ignore the fact that she uses these things to bring attention to her message

[@JotaShank]

Yeah, but look at her now wtf... Hard to believe its the same person, physically and mentally. Hope she finds peace

[@denisferrara5298]

I cannot believe this is the same person who is putting out Instagram crap today.

[@jupitermarx]

Something changed in her from this interview from 10 years ago. To the present day. 🤷 she's more grounded here. More her authentic self. In my humble opin

[@ryan24a73]

She sold her soul to the devil that's what

[@AmirHussain-uw4jb]

Madonna is so much more than a music artist!! She has her eyes and heart open to the world and liberated freedom!!! You can learn so much from watching her interviews!! My absolute favourite the queen!!!!!!

[@farangisehsani592]

It is so rare to see an Iranian guy is attracted to her. You're taste is awsome, and I'm sur your future will be bright.

[@drumsalive]

This is why she is queen x she’s just so intelligent x

[@princeicio]

Love listening to this woman.

[@Leem2153]

I'm deffinitley gonna follower her a lot more she is so serious with such a beautiful soul !

[@seesthruit]

I like her look, very natural in this era. Her lips are nice here.

[@misskitty9304]

SO PRETTY

[@southsydesasha7268]

Madonna cares about the whole world, she is so intelligent way beyond most ppl, this is why ive always loved her. A true rebel& not just talking the talk but walks the walk💋💋💕MADONNA

[@vcgal1]

Totally agree with you southsyde Sasha.

[@Beroean30]

She use to at least.

[@fartknocker31]

Madonna is an insightful truth machine. I've lived overseas for 8 years, and everything she says shows me that she's seen the world and knows how things work. I really wish Madonna would enter politics. No joke.

[@stevenduvall2549]

I think she would be a great leader.

[@misskitty9304]

YOUR SO PRETTY 😍❤️

[@lisajoye1450]

Damn, she has matured ......and stayed tuned in to levels of existentialism that are continually blowing my mind.....

[@rangelfrangue]

my queen is really smart and articulate

[@jamiepaulhume1659]

This....this right here is why the world hates on Madonna. Her power. 9 years ago, Putin, Ukraine, Iran....The Gay Community...she's always been fighting and ahead of her time.

[@1994Mattg]

She explains everything so clear and precise. It's great to have people like Madonna in this world that aren't afraid to say what they want.

[@sanamadio]

Adore Madonna's spirit, mind, consciousness, conviction and heart. Many will love her. Many will loathe her. Many will accuse her of 'self-promoting sensationalism'. Many hate that she combined art and politics...but you can't deny that the woman makes you think

[@giedretamosiunaite]

the one who was nervous all the time - was the journalist :) and you can see it from his body language :) nobody likes real true... i respect Madonna with all her thoughts in this interview, i agree completely - so many humans are afraid to talk what they realy think...

[@drecion1]

Great interview. "I'm getting there, don't rush me!" Ha

[@cats011]

This interview and accompanying project are 6 years old but couldn’t be more important and relevant to today

[@EmbodimentofAMiracle1998]

Her interview's and her voice always inspiring and helps me relax

[@TheFunfairfan]

No 'star' today matches Madonna, she's one of a kind!

[@lindseycarribean5113]

Gaga does.

[@lindseycarribean5113]

@Denis Ambrozhevichyus Yes she does !

[@mgdkns6678]

These comparisons are simply pointless. In what way they don’t match Madonna?! Do they have to?! Madonna did and does her thing and she is great at what she does. She comes from a different generation, has decades of career and experience and life behind her, so comparing her to younger artists is ridiculous. No one can compare with her but nor do they have to. Gaga is very talented aswell, as a singer and actress and she had a different vision than any other artist. Beyonce is great in her own lane. There is place for everybody and its ok to enjoy different entertainers. Worshipping them ,though, is delusional behavior.

[@lindseycarribean5113]

@Denis Ambrozhevichyus you have the dumb point of view. Mgd kns has the right point of view.

[@tysonb3568]

Lindsey Carribean No dear....not even close. Gaga is fabulous....but not pioneering or groundbreaking like Madonna....plus she has borrowed from Madonna alot.

[@vinilla901]

the truth teller That's Madonna

[@BeautifuloONightmare]

+vinilla Best joke ever

[@SavedbyGraceJesus]

One reason why I love Madonna so much is that she is fighting this fight, when so many artists are only focused on themselves ...

[@eccremocarpusscaber5159]

And yet now looks and acts like a boiled egg.

[@jamietodd1675]

I'm tearing up.. I love her so much.. I've been fan every since I was a little boy..She's such an amazing person..

[@cwstrangers]

Madonna is very intelligent and it's obvious.

[@Sunnysunflower333]

She memorizes dance steps and lyrics. Her brain is always being exercised. Always!

[@erikm8372]

Being a yogi truly helps with life, did anyone notice the change in her post-yoga discovery? Like post-1996 she had Evita, Lourdes was born, her yoga practice began after baby, and Ray Of Light album was released in 98. It’s these events I think that are the real transformation, to Madonna we know and love today… but the yoga practice, and study of Kabbalah as well, I think is so reflected in the album Ray of Light and in her overall views. Those are the years when Madonna as we “think” of her “now”, and I speak from experience with the yoga practice. It can change everything, every moment you have and movement you make. The entire ROL album is a yoga class soundtrack start to end! _Drowned World_ to meditate at the start, all the way to meditation and relaxing with _Little Star_ in savasana 🙏🏼

[@Mradford9898]

I want more interview!!! That was such a good interview! One of my Faves!

[@Ellectraart]

You are not alone! I have dream for freedom and love as well! And as much idealistic it may sound, I'm still proud to have it! Long live Madonna!

[@holmedw]

She literally forsaw 2016. three years prior.

[@karasays01]

Thank you Madonna for your insight! While I have been a fan. I had unfortunately taken some of the perceptions other artists had made about you. Rediscovering your discography and your interviews you are a gem. You have longevity and deserved fame!

[@chrislumb982]

I see more passion and conviction in just over half an hour from Madonna than all the so called world-leaders can evoke in their entire political careers.

[@missburns6855]

I love how she has grown and changed, not just a super talented lady and very entertaining, but very interesting to listen too. Always been a fan, she is one amazing woman.

[@soilofk]

She is so fricking intelligent!!!!!!!

[@silviaalatzia3413]

No.. she is a moron..

[@susanparker767]

Yes 💯% … ✨🙏🏼✨

[@Lisakaylindsay256]

Love this interview! Can't believe I didn't see this earlier. Thanks for sharing. You are so amazing and so much of what you say is how I feel and wish people would wake up! Wish people would stop the hate and stop being stop hypocritical. Love is all we need.

[@LoveAge]

Thing is..when u are a woman "against the stream", different, as Madonna here calls it, meaning -You do not live up to the conventional male expectations of what and how a woman should be, u win a little battle here and there...for every time u win a little bit, the understanding of just how much women are suppressed on all levels of existence, grows..and the battle gets bigger. I can only imagine how very tired Madonna must have been so many times in her life,..thinking ; I won this battle! (whatever it may have been), i conquered this mountain!..just to come out on the other side to see an army against u..and another chain of mountains to climb. From a very similar background and upbringing and a very similar kind of thinking world with Madonna, i myself know just how tiring and never ending the work and the battle seems sometimes. Every time iv'e been about to give up, i listen to Madonna, her songs to inspire, and her interviews to give me new strength. Evidently, it is possible for your best friend in life to be someone whom u have never talked to (I've only had her hand in mine for a brief moment), and your "sister" can be someone born a long way away on the other side of a vast ocean. I am so grateful to have been born in the same era with Madonna, cos without her, this might as well have been the dark ages for me. Thank u, for always having been my ray of light Madonna. Celebrating 31 years of "married to Madonna". ;) Thank u for existing.. Love U always, never give up. S

[@graham6268]

You got to have respect and admiration for Madonna. No other popular artist would be as vocal and passionate towards issues regarding human rights and discrimination. Keep on fighting the good fight!

[@Beroean30]

Plenty do and actually get involved and dont just send memes or instagram postings about it. Too bad she didn't come back to the states and canvass like she use to.

[@INTUITIVENORSK2303]

Actually, i think that the other popular artist who has done HUGE amounts for ill children, for the minority & the oppressed is Michael Jackson. I learnt that he was multi-faceted and multi-talented & did loads in his life as an artist, yet many may be unaware. I also learnt, that after Bill Gates, MJ has been one of the greatest financial donors to global charities, specifically children's charities. So much so, that he's received numerous accolades & has been awarded for doing so. It's said, that MJ paved the way for many others to start donating also. MJ was an amazing & great philanthropist and humanitarian & this is verified within an amazing documentary. "Loving Neverland" is highly recommended viewing.

[@justinyingling4291]

I've loved her since I was a wee lad. This video proves everything I've felt about her. She is whip smart, intelligent, well spoken, and as has always been her trend, she is well ahead of the game. We're watching her predict Trump, not him specifically, just that mankind was heading in that direction. Visionary.

[@johnwihebrink4017]

She looks good and is well-spoken here tho

[@AntajuanGrady]

love this interview!

[@keithgaskin1775]

Fantastic interview! I love the way an Iconic Artist can survive a grueling world tour and bring the events we all hear about in the news back to us through a project like this. To me this is inspired creative thinking on a scale that will make waves all around the globe just like the world tour that sparked its moment of creation. Thank you for doing this. I am glad to be a part of it. Namaste

[@TolkienStudy]

Madonna kinda is punk rock. She's a very interesting combination of the Yin of someone like Debbie Harry, she's really mysterious and very intelligent and speaks her mind, unfiltered for the most part. She's fascinating. I like she identified with Frida, and her talking about the history of dance and aesthetics. There are so many facets to Lady Madonna, I'm on a binge of her. She's a powerful woman and I like how authentic she is while balancing being in arguably the most inauthentic field of Pop Music. Her answers are always smart and witty, really great.

[@shanegrim5421]

Wow! Madonna predicted it in 2013! She knew it was coming! She’s brilliant!

[@drecion1]

I've not seen Madonna speak so freely and unguarded in an interview. Interesting that it takes place in prison

[@rudymora8848]

That one flew right over my head... Ok.

[@ida_sriyaka]

Sometimes being restrained can be the most freeing thing...

[@kikonyc68]

I came to re-watch this whilst French election because I remember her talking about Marie Le Pen. And what she's talking about throughout feels like very present and even worse now 4 years later. And Donald Trump isn't even in the picture then. This is crazy. We live in an insane era right now. What about all the artists and activists and protesters plea? The world is a depressing place. I long for world peace. On the side note. What other pop artists can endure what she's been (law suit, death threats, and arrest threats for her art, for performance, and speech) and fight back? Madonna is going to be a historical figure.

[@nepenthes1978]

Madonna looks astonishing in the interview. And, well, being the long time fan that i am, i've always known she was intelligent and driven and ahead of her time. Love her for all she is and all she's changed in the world. Thank you for that, Madonna.

It's so nice to see her get excited about something again. Obviously what I really want is a new album, but never during the MDNA promotion was she this enthusiastic, so its nice to see this old Madonna is back.

[@MT-iq6ji]

she should extend that compassion and kindness to all animals, not just humans. horse back riding, wearing fur, and shooting birds for fun is cruel.

[@johnaustx]

Madonna sees whats real and necessary to secure the continued progression of life, which is love unconditional.

[@johnaustx]

Hmmm. Sounds like maybe y'all have met.

[@Day0One]

Wow... Deep... Loved-this-interview...

[@INTUITIVENORSK2303]

Madonna has always interested & intrigued me. I admire her character of strength & resilience. She's a real/true/genuine seeker of truth & global human/humane justice. And, she doesn't just talk the talk, she walks the walk. She's courageous, she isn't afraid to use her powerful voice, to get her message across to the public & more often than not she does, which is ideal. This interview is really interesting & packed with good info. I have to say.....Madonna looks so stunning in this interview. Thanks for sharing & Peace.

[@StefanDot]

She doesn't need to prove anything as a music artist. She wrote many pages of music history and has an immortal place in the music history. She doesn't need to sell, she already sold as a guinness. She always pushed the boundaries, she still does it! GO MADONNA!

[@danza88]

AMAZING Interview, one of her best. I Love this woman, shes the epitome of a LEGEND

[@jeanniecampbell1374]

A good match here very diplomatic and calm from the interviewer and allowing Madonna to be the free Artist she deserves to be ...she reminds me of me in that she does talk a lot when she has been inspired or has a cause ..love her !

[@tdvoeks]

I am an artist and appreciate Madonna's art for many years. I am glad I watched this bc I know exactly where her heart is. I am a freedom fighter too Madonna, and I will continue to fight until the day Christ returns, which is the only promise I am conscious of that will bring an end to the injustices in this world. I am looking forward to that time with all the heart, soul & strength God gives me.
