Madonna Covers 'The Advocate'

Madonna takes the cover of The Advocate‘s latest issue to chat about her new movie, W.E., and her upcoming album MDNA.

Here’s what the 53-year-old Material Girl had to share:

On relating to Wallis Simpson upon moving to England: “Like Wallis Simpson, I felt like an outsider. I thought, Life is so different here, and I’m used to being a New Yorker, and I have to learn how to drive on the other side of the road. Suddenly, I found myself living out in an English country house and trying to find my way in this world, so I decided to really take it on and do research and find out about English history and learn about the royal family.”

On Lady Gaga’s connection to her fans and whether it’s parallel to her own relationship with gay fans: “It seems natural, and I can see why she has a young gay following. I can see that they connect to her kind of not fitting into the conventional norm. I mean, she’s not Britney Spears. She’s not built like a brick s—house. She seems to have had a challenging upbringing, and so I can see where she would also have that kind of connection, a symbiotic relationship with gay men.”

On her daughter Lola: “I’m a strict mother. My daughter doesn’t know why I won’t allow her to get everything pierced or a tattoo or dye her hair blond on the tips and pink at the roots.”
