Part of the reason I sort of shot out like a cannon out of Michigan and left home at such an early age is because I had to feel independent.

More quotes by Madonna Ciccone
You realise that having a number one record and being loved and adored isn't the most important thing in the world. But at the same time, I don't have a problem with it.
Madonna Ciccone
I'm very grateful that I had work to do. I may have thrown myself off a building.
Madonna Ciccone
I cheat on my books a lot, which is not a good thing because it's good to stick with one book and get to the end of it, but I'm a book philanderer.
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 made a vow that I would never need another person ever. Turned my heart into a cage, a victim of a kind of rage.
Madonna Ciccone
I think passive beauties have their place in the world. It's hard for me to relate to that.
Madonna Ciccone
One must dare to show what he wants. You have to go and ask for things rather than wait for them to happen.
Madonna Ciccone
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.
Madonna Ciccone
The idea of service to humanity, putting yourself in situations where people have much less than you do, puts life in perspective.
Madonna Ciccone
We live in a very scary time. Or should I say we don't live at all.
Madonna Ciccone
I'm not a reluctant pop star. I'm very grateful and happy for everything that I have and for things when they go well. On the other hand, I've had enough of the other side to know that if it doesn't, I will survive that and life goes on.
Madonna Ciccone
When I'm dead and no longer the threat. My comfort is that all the great artists since the beginning of time have always been completely misunderstood and never fully appreciated until they were dead.
Madonna Ciccone
Having money is just the best thing in the world.
Madonna Ciccone
I worship F. Scott Fitzgerald and I love his writing.
Madonna Ciccone
It's not easy having a good marriage--but I don't want easy. Easy doesn't make you grow. Easy doesn't make you think. I thank God everyday that I am married to a man who makes me think. That's my definition of true love.
Madonna Ciccone
I think they were scared of me because I was different. I've always asked, 'Why? Why do I have to do that? Why do I have to look this way? Why do I have to dress this way? Why do I have to behave this way?'
Madonna Ciccone
One set of circumstances does not complete you. Maybe nothing ever does. So you work on your life and you work on your 'work' and you try to live every single day like it's your last. And you try to be better, to yourself and to others. I don't always succeed. But I try and it's my goal.
Madonna Ciccone
Some people out there think everything I do is a publicity stunt, they think when I go to the bathroom it's a publicity stunt.
Madonna Ciccone
Do I have to change my name, will it get me far? Should I lose some weight, am I gonna be a star?
Madonna Ciccone
They're only words, unless they're true.
Madonna Ciccone
