When you're writing something and you know it's good, you get flushed, you can feel the blood coursing through your veins, you feel alive, all your nerve endings stand up, something just clicks.
Madonna Ciccone
Image
I am attracted to a thug. I like that quality, but I like the other side of it, too. Because all guys who go around behaving in macho ways are really scared little girls. So you have to look beneath the surface. There's a difference between my ideal man and a man that I'm sexually attracted to, believe me. Therein lies the rub.

My daughter is a fan of mine but she doesn't want to be too obvious about it because I'm her mum and it's not cool.

Image
I feel that most gay men are so much more in touch with a certain kind of sensitivity that heterosexual men aren't allowed to be in touch with, their feminine side. To me they're whole human beings, more so than most of the straight men that I know.

And then, going to high school, I saw how popular girls had to behave to get the boys. I knew I couldn't fit into that. So I decided to do the opposite. I refused to wear makeup, to have a hairstyle. I refused to shave. I had hairy armpits.

Popularity comes and goes. You need to know who you are, what you stand for, and why you're here.

Donald Trump is the president. It's not a bad dream. It really happened. It's like being dumped by a lover and also being stuck in a nightmare.

Every time I reach a new peak, I see a new one I want to climb.
Madonna Ciccone
Image
I think I had a lot of bad hair moments. In the early 80's just sometimes I wore purple lipstick or green lipstick.
Madonna Ciccone
Image
The media is something that affects a lot of people, so you're constantly trying to strike a balance between respecting something and not caring about it.
Madonna Ciccone
Image
I think art should be controversial. I think it should make people think.
Madonna Ciccone
Image
The physical body is assembled just like a chair or a building or a flower, but the revolutions we start, the people we affect and inspire, that is eternal. So, in that respect, we do achieve immortality, and that makes me less fearful.
Madonna Ciccone
Image
I like to make people think.
Madonna Ciccone
Image
I have the same goal I've had ever since I was a girl: I want to rule the world.
Madonna Ciccone
Image
I don't go to the sale rack. But I wouldn't say I am decadent in my spending. I am careful.
Madonna Ciccone
Image
I feel like everybody needs to take a sabbatical and go to Russia and Africa and work in orphanages and really witness true suffering. And then you'll just feel ridiculous for ever complaining about anything. Everybody needs that kind of reality check.
Madonna Ciccone
Image
Fame is a by-product. It's not a goal. What matters is loving your work and loving what you do
Madonna Ciccone
Image
Publicly humiliating someone for your own gain will only come and haunt you. God's going to have his revenge.
Madonna Ciccone
Image
I was never appalled by myself. I felt a little bit uneasy about certain things. But honestly I've learned to love myself and to see that in the midst of all my ambition and desire to succeed and my search for approval, I do give things to people. I bring some sort of happiness to their lives. So I'm not so hard on myself anymore.
Madonna Ciccone

To be brave is to love someone unconditionally, without expecting anything in return. To just give. That takes courage, because we don't want to fall on our faces or leave ourselves open to hurt.
