Access Hollywood: When you put on your old Hollywood glam you look stunning.
Madonna: Thank you.

Access Hollywood: Tell me, what does it feel like to be in this dress, almost like walking to a ball?
Madonna: Well I’ve been in a tracksuit for the last year, so it’s a little bit weird. It’s nice… I need to get into it again… glamour.

Access Hollywood: Alexander McQueen, tell me what you love about him. I know there was a friendship there as well.
Madonna: I feel like he kind of personifies what I’ve always been interested in, in my creative life, which is a combination of classical and punk rock attitude together. He was a great technician, he had a great provocative attitude about art, pop culture. Like I said earlier, I think he’s sorely missed in the fashion business.

Access Hollywood: So deserving of today.
Madonna: Yeah. I miss him…
