Madonna believes the key to relationships is "compromise".

The twice-wed singer - who is currently dating 24-year-old dancer Brahim Zaibat - is always ready to change for a partner because she knows how important it is.

She said: "I think with all relationships you are going to have to give up something. It is a juggling act, it's about compromising."

Madonna - who wrote, produced and directed new movie 'W.E.' - also revealed she has learned a lot from former spouses Guy Ritchie and Sean Penn when it came to filmmaking.

She explained in an interview with Grazia magazine: "Of course I learned from them. I watched closely to see what both of them did, with Sean as an actor and director and Guy as a director.

"With Sean, I saw the importance of preparing before you get to the set.

"Guy is a much more visual director and he takes a lot of risks when it comes to camera moves and things like that. He breaks the rules and so I learned a lot from him in that aspect.
