Madonna has gone on record to say the world would be a better place with out ignorant and prejudiced people.

The Queen of Pop has come across a number of controversies in her career and speaking to the Italian Vanity Fair, Madonna expressed a fear of "ignorant people". She said:

"I am afraid of ignorant people, I hate the prejudices. So I cannot foresee what will happen in my life because the world is full of ignorant people. We should destroy the prejudices if we want to live in a better world."

Madonna added that she also feels like she has changed as a person over the years, mainly through the birth of her children. She said:

"Thanks to my children I am became a better woman. Now I am less serious, I have an elastic view of life. I am more permissive."
