Pop superstar Madonna has vowed to continue with her hectic work schedule into old age - because she dreads the idea of becoming fat. ( FF )
The Material Girl hitmaker, 49, fears giving up work will lead to dramatic weight gain - so is determined to pack more work into her schedule.
She says, "I'm not going to be defined by my age. Why should any woman? I'm not going to slow down, get off this ride, stay home and get fat. I'd never get fat.
"I feel great and if anything, I'm probably speeding up. There's so much more in my life to deal with. I've got work to do, children to raise, a husband to please and a world to save.
"I have a total sense of urgency about it. I don't feel I've done everything.
I do feel I want more, more, more."
