Madonna interview with Larry Flick
“Celebration“, the ultimate compilation of Madonna songs is released in Europe tomorrow and Madonna took some quality time to sit down with Larry Flick and talk about her new album, the new single and video, have a look back at her career, and much more.
Here’s an excerpt from her interview when Larry asks her about her daughter Lola appearing in the “Celebration” videoclip directed by Jonas Akerlund.
LF: The video features your daughter, Lourdes. How did that happen?
M: She hangs out with the dancers a lot. She’s a dancer herself. The video is about the celebration of music and dance. There’s an improvisational moment when we’re all in a circle and each dancer does their specialty or a special move that they do well. She wanted to do hers, so she did.
LF: Were you comfortable with her doing the video?
M: Yeah. She really wanted to do it. It’s just a little moment.
LF: Are you getting an inkling that she wants to follow in your footsteps?
M: No. I don’t she wants to be a singer. I think she wants to be an actress.
LF: How do you feel about that?
M: I’m fine with it, as long as she finishes school, and takes it seriously. She also plays piano, and she’s really into clothes and fashion and style. She can go in any direction. She’s got a lot of diverse interests right now. We’ll see. I’m not pushing anything. We’ll see what she wants to do.
LF:
She always seems so poised.
M: Yeah. She’s grown up in the limelight, for sure. She’s been protected, but she’s been chased by the paparazzi since she was a tiny baby.
LF: How is she dealing with being the big sister? Is she protective?
M: She’s super-sister. She’s amazing with the little ones. She has the typical relationship with her brother, Rocco. They’re like “I love you”/”I hate you” every five minutes. But with the two little ones, she’s great. She’s amazing. Very protective.
LF: Are you going to be a Mom to any more kids?
M: Who knows? (laughs)
LF: Is that something you’d like?
M: (More laughter) You know, I have my hands full right now! I have no idea! That’s all I’m going to say. But we never say never.
