When Michael Parkinson interviewed Madonna

“We were in talks with her people for about 20 years but it always came back that she’d only talk about this and she’d only talk about that and she won’t talk about that.”

“And we said, ‘well, it’s our show and we are never told what to say by any of our guests. And when Madonna is ready to talk to us on those terms it will be wonderful to interview her’. In 2005 we finally had a call, saying, ‘Yes, she’ll do it’. And we did a one-woman show and she was absolutely brilliant.”

Legendary UK anchorman Michael Parkinson, talking to The Herald Sun about how ffter years of pursuing her, in 2005 Madonna finally agreed to appear on his show.
