Work distraction for Madonna
2008-11-25 11:01
New York - Madonna's marital break-up is tough, but she says she's grateful that her heavy workload "provides a distraction that keeps me going".
"I'm sad about my personal life, but I feel very blessed and very lucky that I have the opportunity to do what I do in my professional life," Madonna said in an interview on Sunday.
"It would be horrible if I was just thinking about getting a divorce and had nothing to do."
Recently, Madonna and Guy Ritchie were granted a preliminary decree of divorce after eight years of marriage.
Among her current projects is promoting her documentary I Am Because We Are, which explores the impoverished African nation of Malawi, where more than one million children are orphaned by Aids.
The film has its TV premiere on December 1.
