S: What do you think of Courtney Love?
Madonna: [Laughs] I knew you were going to ask me that question.
S: So you probably have a statement prepared.
Madonna: I do, I do. I rehearsed it. No. I think she’s supremely talented. I really do. When Maverick first started, we tried to sign her. But I think that drugs have destroyed her brain, or they are slowly destroying her. I am fascinated by her, but the same way I am by somebody who’s got Tourette’s syndrome walking in Central Park. I want to stop and just watch their human behavior. She fascinates me on that level. I don’t know, I feel sorry for her. I really do, and I know if she reads this, she’ll be slagging Mo off online for the next eight months. I do think she knows not what she says. It’s true for old people who go around spewing venom on people, that deep down inside, they’re hurt, they’re sad, lonely, whatever. Kurt Loder interviewed me after the MTV Awards, after I won some award, and I was sitting up on a platform on the street. About five minutes into the interview, a compact went sailing over my head. I thought someone on the street was throwing things at me. And I hear this gravelly voice, and then we looked down and it’s Courtney, and she’s throwing makeup out of her purse at us, and it’s just missing our heads. And Kurt invites her up. Now, I know Kurt invited her up because there’s all this hyped-up ******** how we have been feuding for years and years, and I think he wanted to see a catfight. She was babbling about twenty-five different things. And at one point, she did grab my arm and said something to me like,”’94 sucked, but '95’s going to be better, isn’t it?" And in that one moment I looked in her eyes and felt her vulnerability and her sadness and I felt bad for her. I felt that she was trying to reach out to me, even though at every chance she gets, she slags me off in the press. Years ago, she probably admired me and looked up to me, and now I’m like a parent to her or something, and she wants to destroy me. So, that’s what I think about Courtney. [Laughs]
