Madonna has given a lecture at a New York university as part of MTV series 'Stand In'. The programme, broadcast on the campus-and-internet-broadcast MTVu, sees celebrities turn up at colleges to give surprise lectures. Other guest lecturers have included Marilyn Manson, Kanye West, Bill Gates and Cameron Diaz.
The episode featuring Madonna, which will be broadcast on 7 Nov, sees the singer discussing her career and new documentary 'I'm Going To Tell You A Secret' with students at City University's Hunter College. She told the class: "The biggest mistake that any of us can make is to believe what other people say about us."
When asked about the continual changes in her music and her public image, she responded "I don't feel like I'm trying on personas. What I always hope to do is change and evolve. I have no regrets because that's life and life is about change."
