Madonna Ciccone
I don't want no lies, I don't watch TV. I don't waste my time, won't read a magazine.
Madonna Ciccone
I wanted to be famous, I wanted everybody to love me. I wanted to be a star. I worked really hard, and my dream came true.
Madonna Ciccone
My mother died when I was five, and all I did was sit and cry. I cried and cried and cried all day, until the neighbors went away.
Madonna Ciccone
I hate polite conversation. I hate it when people stand around and go, Hi, how are you? I hate words that don't have any reason or meaning. Also I hate it when people smoke in elevators and closed in places. It's just so rude.
Madonna Ciccone
You're getting angry, you know I can see. You're just jealous, cause you can't be me.
Madonna Ciccone
Not only do we suffer from racism and sexism, but we also suffer from ageism. And that is that once you reach a certain age, you're not allowed to be adventurous, you're not allowed to be sexual and I think that's rather hideous. [...] I mean, is there a rule? Are you just supposed to die when you're 40?
Madonna Ciccone
I feel like everything I do makes people feel really uncomfortable.
Madonna Ciccone
The one thing I don't understand is when people make comments who are clearly not fans of mine. I think, why are you here? Why are you wasting your time? It's fascinating.
Madonna Ciccone
I've created a very unconventional family. I have lovers who are three decades younger than me. This makes people very uncomfortable.
Madonna Ciccone
Do everything you're told. Be a good cheerleader. And never, never say, 'It's not so bad.' Say 'You are almost there!' And say it a lot.
Madonna Ciccone
Children always think they did something wrong when their parents disappear.
Madonna Ciccone
If at first you don't succeed, you're obviously not me.
Madonna Ciccone
I think art should be controversial. I think it should make people think.
Madonna Ciccone
Freedom comes when you learn to let go, creation comes when you learn to say 'no'
Madonna Ciccone
If you want something bad enough the whole world conspires to help you get it.
Madonna Ciccone
Filmmaking is such a collaboration. At a certain point, I suppose you do have to let go and trust the people you're working with.
Madonna Ciccone
I keep telling everyone that I want to start a revolution but no one is taking me seriously. If I had black skin and an afro, would you take me seriously? If I was an Arab waving a hand grenade, would you take me seriously?
Madonna Ciccone
When I get down on my knees, it is not to pray.
Madonna Ciccone
There are moments when I can't believe I'm as old as I am. But I feel better physically than I did 10 years ago. I don't think, Oh God, I'm missing something.
Madonna Ciccone
