Madge hates the C-word

"You know, I hate to use the word ‘control' so much, because people use and bandy that word about with me, when it comes to my creative life. Everyone says ‘Oh you're a control freak and you like to be in control,'" said Madonna, who is working on her new album MDNA, reports contactmusic.com.

"The thing is, everything I do, even my songwriting, I'm collaborating at all times. I value input from people, and I want it. I can't work on my own. I am not Prince or like a lot of artists, who can go in and play every instrument, and record a track, and not hear from people. I need to hear what people think all the time," she added.
