Madonna: 'I'm happy to be a superstar'

Madonna would never trade the pressures of fame for a life outside superstardom's harsh limelight - because she loves being a celebrity.

The pop superstar appeared on U.S. TV's 'The Today Show' on Friday to discuss her film 'I Am Because We Are', a documentary following the struggles of children orphaned by AIDS in Malawi - the birthplace of the star's adopted son David Banda.

When asked if she hoped she would one day fade out of the limelight, the Holiday hitmaker told host Ann Curry: "Yeah I have moments of it. But I don't want to wish that I'm not me. I don't wish I was someone else."

She added, "My reinventions are part of my evolution and my growth as a person. There are aspects of it that are frivolous and aspects of it that are real".

But she hopes "that my soul reached its full potential and that I did everything that I was put on this earth to do".

'I Am Because We Are' premiered at New York's Tribeca Film Festival on Thursday
