London, Mar 4 (ANI): Age just can't be a hindrance to Madonna when it comes to flourishing career and an equally wonderful life.

The Material Girl, who is turning 50 this year, has promised that there will be no letup in her career.

While promoting her new album 'Hard Candy', the "pop queen" said that the big 5-0 was just "another excuse to have another birthday party," reports The Mirror.

The iconic singer even promised to come up with more hit records and a new film career for herself, as well as raising her family.

"Well, I'm sure I wasn't put on this earth just to make records. There are a lot of things I want to achieve. I'd like to be a better human being. I'd like to be a better parent. I still have my children to raise. That's a big responsibility, I'm not done with that. I would like to direct more films and write them. I've only done one. To me that's the beginning of that career and I want to make more records. I love music," she said.

Madonna even revealed the secret of her beautiful figure.

"I love to dance. I love to feel physically strong. I feel stronger now than maybe 20 years ago," she said.

The multi-talented star is all set to release her new album next month, but still manages to devote her time to husband Guy Ritchie, 11-year-old daughter Lourdes, and sons Rocco, seven, and adopted David Banda, two.

She also revealed that her daughter Lourdes was growing up into a real "mini-me".

"She has a very strong opinion of clothes and fashion and a strong personality so that'll be a challenge for me. She says she wants to be an actress," she said. (ANI)
