"I enjoy putting the show together. I enjoy the first two weeks, and I enjoy the last two weeks," she said.
Madonna has become known for expensive, elaborate stage shows featuring acrobats, skateboarders, bagpipe players and multiple sets.
"It's hard work but, for me, it's the most rewarding of all my jobs.
"To be able to stand on the stage and feel that very visceral connection with human beings, and that thing that only music can do with other humans - there's nothing like it," she added.
