MADONNA is a “details freak”.

The 52-year-old singer always likes to be in control and thinks it is important to consider every aspect of a project, no matter how small.

“I wouldn’t go so far as to say I’m a control freak, but I am a detail freak. I chose the costumes, the locations, the lamps, the tables, the carpets, the drapes — everything,” said Madonna, who directed, produced and wrote her new movie W.E.

“I also liked to put the finishing touches on the actors before they did their scenes — you know, with their hair or clothes.

“Putting on a bracelet or something on to Andrea Riseborough‘s wrist gave me an emotional connection before directing her. Some of the jewellery we used was actually Wallis Simpson’s.”

Madonna — who has been married twice before and is currently dating dancer Brahim Zaibat — believes she is in control of her own “destiny”, a message she reflects in the movie.

“It’s about what Wallis says in the movie – ‘Get a life’. Happiness lies in our own hands and we are in charge of our own destiny,” she said.
