”If you want to talk to Madonna, make sure you’re up on Libya”

“Madonna’s one of the smartest women I’ve ever come across. You need to be totally switched on to the news and current affairs to talk to her – she asks you questions all the time and expects you to be up on everything that’s going on, from Libya to the latest advances in technology. Her mind never stops working.”

Australian actress Abbie Cornish talking to the Daily Mail about playing Wally Winthrop in Madonna’s “W.E.“.

“She’s also very funny. She tells a lot of good jokes. She is one of the coolest women on the planet. I didn’t know what to think when I met her but she was everything you expect and don’t expect at the same time. The biggest thing that surprised me about her was how much she includes you in her life and her family when you work with her. I hung out with the children and we’d talk about everything from shoes to the state of the world.”

“My most surreal memory of working with Madonna is the stylish way she finishes a shoot – with a Cosmopolitan.
Standing next to her after a day’s shoot and drinking a Cosmo – I mean, it doesn’t get better than that. Even though we’ve finished filming we still keep in touch. I have her email address and we send messages. Madonna likes to email.”
