Madonna is promoting her last album “Hard Candy” that will be in stores later this month.

She also appeared as cover in Elle magazine in May’s U.K. issue

The singer/actress/director spook about little secrets in her family, about her marriage to the famous director Guy Ritchie and more.

Here are some choice quotes:

On her kids: “Lourdes is the most like me. [She went through a] Goth phase. Rocco is just Guy. He’s very aware, very funny and doesn’t let anything drop. David is this incredibly bright, smart, bundle of energy. They are all so different and completely full-on.”

On why she married director Guy Ritchie: “I had to marry a challenge because otherwise I would just get bored. Whatever else Guy is, he’s never boring … We’re both there to help each other and challenge each other. . [But] I’m sure people aren’t that interested in my marriage. Posh and Becks are much more interesting.”
On Guy inspiring her new song “Miles Away,” in which she laments being forced to spend so much time apart: “So many people have to deal with long-distance relationships. It’s not easy. You have to work hard to make it work.”

On the bittersweet love song, “Incredible,” where the 49-year-old croons, “sex with you is incredible”: “Sex with Guy is incredible … And surprise, surprise, it’s his favorite song on the album. Actually, maybe it’s not his favorite song, but it’s definitely his favorite line.”

As her August birthday approaches, she shows no sign of slowing down. "I'm not going to be defined by my age. Why would any woman?," she asks. "I'm not going to slow down, get off this ride, stay home and get fat. No way!" Then, making a face, she adds, "I would never get fat."

She won't talk about any surgery she may have had – "I'm not against plastic surgery, I'm just against discussing it" – but Madonna does reveal some aspects of her beauty and fitness regimes.

"If you want to know how I look like I do, it's diet and exercise and being constantly careful," she says. "I swear by oxygen facials, I'm obsessive about staying out of the sun. I don't drink much and drugs are out."
