I grew up in a high school where it was very conservative, and I felt like people disapproved of me, and I felt like an outsider.

More quotes by Madonna Ciccone
I do some of my best stand-up comedy during sound checks.
Madonna Ciccone
Yoga is a metaphor for life. You have to take it really slowly. You can't rush. You can't skip to the next position. You find yourself in very humiliating situations, but you can't judge yourself. You just have to breathe, and let go. It is a workout for your mind, your body and your soul.
Madonna Ciccone
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.
Madonna Ciccone
Sleeping is the most difficult part of what I do, relaxing afterwards. Letting things go.
Madonna Ciccone
People love pitting strong females against each other.
Madonna Ciccone
We all fall to the floor at some point. It's how you pick yourself up that's the real challenge. Isn't it?
Madonna Ciccone
My favorite scene that I ever filmed was singing Don't Cry For Me Argentina from the balcony of the Casa Rosada in Argentina [where the real Eva Peron once stood] during Evita. That was amazing. SO real and surreal. Bizarre.
Madonna Ciccone
If any of you have seen my shows, you know that I don't skimp on them and the same is true for the gym. We spend what it takes to make a globally first-class gym.
Madonna Ciccone
They're only words, unless they're true.
Madonna Ciccone
Popularity comes and goes. You need to know who you are, what you stand for, and why you're here.
Madonna Ciccone
I worship F. Scott Fitzgerald and I love his writing.
Madonna Ciccone
In England especially, I've found that if you bring up King Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson at a dinner party or a social gathering, it's like throwing a Molotov cocktail into the room.
Madonna Ciccone
New York wasn't everything I thought it would be. It did not welcome me with open arms. The first year, I was held up at gunpoint. Raped on the roof of a building I was dragged up to with a knife in my back, and had my apartment broken into three times. I don't know why I had nothing of value after they took my radio the first time.
Madonna Ciccone
I think in the end, when you're famous, people like to narrow you down to a few personality traits. I think I've just become this ambitious, say-whatever's-on-her-mind, intimidating person. And that's part of my personality, but it's certainly not anywhere near the whole thing.
Madonna Ciccone
I laugh at myself. I don't take myself completely seriously. I think that's another quality that people have to hold on to... you have to laugh, especially at yourself.
Madonna Ciccone
But I love the idea - whether it's in my work or where I live - exploring new frontier, and I like putting myself in strange places and trying to survive and figure things out and gather up an infrastructure. I like knowing that I could figure out a way to live anywhere.
Madonna Ciccone
Nothing cheers a girl up like SHOPPING!
Madonna Ciccone
I'm very grateful that I had work to do. I may have thrown myself off a building.
Madonna Ciccone
I think my biggest flaw is my insecurity. I'm terribly insecure. I'm plagued with insecurities 24/7.
Madonna Ciccone
Marriage? I don't know what I really think about marriage. I'm a bit confused on that issue.
Madonna Ciccone
