NPR: Madonna and her Madame X meet NPR:

... Anne Sexton was one of my favorite poets, and one of the things that I think inspired her writing, but that she received so much criticism for, was that she revealed too much about herself. She was too confessional. But then, therein lies the rub, because aren't we here to make art that people can relate to? That's the kind of art that inspires me, and that's the kind of art that I wanna make. But honesty is a commodity right now, because if you tell the truth, you might offend people. People don't like to hear the truth. So that's why I said, “I will never be what society expects me to be.” I didn't feel that way then, and I don't feel that way now, and nothing's changed.

P.S. In the U.K., some were angry that Madonna was Madonna on Graham Norton. Here's why they can suck it.
