She said : 'Obviously there is a person , or a group of people behind this that were essentially terrorising me . I do n't want to sound alarming , but certainly that 's how I felt . 'It 's one thing if someone comes into your house and steals a painting off your wall : that 's also a violation , but , your work , as an artist , that 's devastating . ' I 'm an artistic person , I 'm very expressive . I 'm sorry if words alarm people , but that 's what it felt like . It was not a consensual agreement . I did not say , `` Hey , here 's my music , and it 's finished . '' It was theft . ' Candid interview : Madonna is pictured with Howard Stern in the studio , after their chat .
