they talked about the power of silence, the necessity of failure and so many more see the conversation below…


DAVID BLAINE: I brought a whole bunch of cards with questions that I think are really fun, so we have these as a backup plan.

MADONNA: A backup plan, or do you want me to choose one now?

BLAINE: Choose one. But I don't want you to go with the obvious card that's sticking out more than the others.

MADONNA: I'm not that kind of person. I never go for the obvious. [picks a card]….

She reviled a lot in this interview but the striking part came when the 56 year old opened up to Interview magazine on her past with drugs  ...She also explained why people take drugs

It’s about how people take drugs to connect to God or a higher level of consciousness. I keep saying, ‘Plugging into the matrix’. If you get high, you can do that, which is why a lot of people do acid or do drugs, all because they want to get closer to God.
‘But there’s going to be a short circuit, and that’s the illusion of drugs, because they give you the illusion of getting closer to God, but ultimately they kill you.’(Continue)

I mean, I tried everything once, but as soon as I was high, I spent my time drinking tons of water to get it out of my system.As soon as I was high, I was obsessed with flushing it out of me’. I was like, ‘Okay, I’m done now’.

On death..she said

I became obsessed with death, and the idea that you never know when death will arrive, so one has to do as much as possible all the time to get the most out of life.’
