Madonna Opens Up On Drug Use: "I've Tried Everything Once" and how Losing her mother at A Young Age Made Her "Obsessed With Death"![]()
On how some people do drugs to get closer to God:
If you get high, you can do that, which is why a lot of people drop acid or do drugs, because they want to get closer to God.”
But she also insists that drugs are dangerous:
“There’s going to be a short circuit, and that’s the illusion of drugs, because they give you the illusion of getting closer to God, but ultimately they kill you,” she said. “They destroy you.”
Reveals her own drug experiences:
"I've tried everything once"
"As soon as I was high, I spent my time drinking tons of water to get it out of my system. As soon as I was high, I was obsessed with flushing it out of me. I was like, ‘Okay, I’m done now.'”
Madonna says she craves to escape from the noise in her life:
“I feel like people are always talking to me, at me, asking things, questioning me, wanting information, work, music, loud noises, children—it’s endless,” she said. “So the idea of a whole day of silence sounds very seductive to me.”

“My mother sang it to me when I was 4,” Madonna says. “My children know it too.”
She described her French-Canadian mother — who died when Madonna was only 6 — as an angel who protects her.
When they ask her if her mother is a driving force behind her empire:
Madonna answered: “I’m sure that, to a certain extent, she is, but actually her lack of presence would be the driving force.”
Madonna says losing her mother at such a young age made her “obsessed with death”:
"I became very obsessed with death, and the idea that you never know when death will arrive. So one has to do as much as possible all the time to get the most out of life.”
