You have to see Madonna’s newest interview with Interview in which she is quizzed by director Gus Van Sant. Some topics she proselytizes on include: Sean Penn (“He is amazing”), Van Sant’s Oscar winning movie, Milk (“Milk was such a brilliant film. I cried and cried. I loved it”), the Millennium Villages in Malawi she is building with Dr. Jeffrey Sachs, and the new script she has written with Alex Keshishian entitled W.E. which will begin filming this summer. The film criss-crosses between pre-World War II England and New York in 1998. Interesting……

About her collaboration with Keshishian she states, “I quite like the idea of collaborating in general. Not only is it lonely to do things on your own creatively, it’s also kind of arrogant. I guess some people are brilliant enough to be brilliant on their own and never doubt anything and come up with fabulous things. But I think it’s good to get into arguments with people and have them say, “That sucks” or “You’re crazy” or “That’s cheesy” or “What do you think of this?” If anything, it helps you understand what you believe in and what you’re passionate about and what is shit. I think it’s important to have a sounding board.”
