Madonna Feels Like a 'Gerbil on a Wheel'
Everyone does think of me as impenetrable and/or superhuman, and maybe that's the way it goes if you've lasted for more than three decades. But of course that's not the truth. … In this business I'm in, you can start to feel like a gerbil on a wheel. People expect things from you. And I expect things from me. Since I was a teenager, I've never not been in some creative state, like in the act of making up dances, or writing songs, or whatever. I felt really drained.
-Madonna
