Quotes:
"You can [have it all] but what you can't then expect is a good night's sleep. I have all three; love, children and work. Lucky me. I can't imagine not having children. I can't imagine not being in love and I can't imagine not being creative and doing the work I do." - Madonna, on having it all.
"There is just a lot of bureaucracy and administration and papers that have to be gone through. [David's] adoption was the beginning of the creation of adoption law in Malawi. I?m the template, a role model for the future?I went to Malawi thinking I was going to save children?s lives and make a big difference in their lives, and hopefully I have. The surprise to me was how much they changed me." - Madonna, on adopting her son from Malawi.
