Madonna opened up to Maluma about writing her biopic in the “Musicians on Musicians” issue of Rolling Stone.
According to the “Like a Virgin” singer, penning the screenplay is the “most draining, challenging experience” she's ever had.
Madonna said, “Remembering all the things that made me decide to be who I am, my journey as an artist, my decision to leave Michigan to go to New York, all the things that happened to me when I was young and naive, my relationships with my family and friends, watching many of my friends die — sometimes, I have writing sessions where I go to bed and I just want to cry. You know what I mean? The thing is, I realize I forgot a lot of things, and reliving, digging deep, trying to recall emotions that I felt in certain moments, both joyful and traumatic experiences . . . I realize I’ve lived a crazy life.”
She continued saying, “I would find myself at night, lying there in bed, thinking, “My God, did that really happen to me? Did I really know that person?”
The film, co-written with Diablo Cody, is still in development, but Madonna told the Associated Press in September that she has her eye on Florence Pugh for the lead role.
