MADONNA - MADONNA ADMITS DIFFERENCES WITH GUY

MADONNA relishes her role of wife and mother - and is delighted to leave behind the heady days of her twenties and thirties when she "just ripped through relationships".

The RAY OF LIGHT singer, 45, enjoys her more stable life with husband GUY RITCHIE - despite their differences which includes him "always trying to recapture his youth".

Madonna says, "He did so many fun things as a child that he still loves to do.

"And I don't. I'm not interested in recapturing my childhood at all."

As for her own children, the star sees a lot of herself in her seven-year-old daughter LOURDES, adding, "Girls are so clever, more clever than boys.

"I see myself in her and, you know, sometimes I'm repulsed and sometimes I just want to put my arms around her."

Her relationship with four-year-old son ROCCO is less complicated.

She says, "You have a son. It's just, it's just love. They can do no wrong."
