Madonna: Marriage Has Made Me Less Selfish  6/10/05

Superstar Madonna has become less selfish in recent years - and she attributes her new sharing demeanor to her film-maker husband Guy Ritchie.

The Material Girl now has more time for taking care of other peoples' needs since marrying British Snatch director Richie in 2000, but she admits she's still impatient.

She says, "Until you get married you get your own way. Then you suddenly have to think of somebody else before you make decisions. That's putting your ego in check.

"We are opposites. I'm very scheduled. I make lists, I stick to the plan. Guy is Mr Spontaneous.

"If I have a problem I want to work it out, right now. My husband is like, 'Let's talk about it in two days.' But I have to be right now - I have to prove I'm right."
