I had to believe that because I was playing her. I couldn’t judge her; I had to understand her.

At first it’s completely daunting and intimidating, and then it becomes part of your universe. Of course when you get to shoot in a special area like her little opera house, you can’t believe it.

It’s my bottom. I thought it was appropriate and showed vulnerability. She’s out in the cold and she’s not really being treated like a human being. Of course I was nervous. I did ask a friend, “Is my butt OK?”

Not at all. I’m young, and I don’t think Marie was exercising. She was a soft girl.

Madonna is used to taking heat–but not usually over her being … a Madonna. Last week, as she and husband Guy Ritchie welcomed a motherless 13-month-old, David Banda, into their London home, the British tabs blasted the pair, and human-rights activists in the child’s native Malawi claimed they’d skirted local laws. In Malawi–where Madonna has pledged $3 million in aid–a judge postponed a hearing. The baby’s father, an impoverished onion farmer, told reporters he wanted to better his son’s future, while Madonna insisted she’d followed the rules. The adoption could become final in 18 months.
