More quotes by Madonna Ciccone
You didn't understand or care to know, you get your education from your lovers.
Madonna Ciccone
If those civil rights groups are going into those orphanages and offering to look after those children, then they have every right to make a stink about it. But they're not. They're not offering a solution.
Madonna Ciccone
My idea of the perfect man would be someone intelligent and clever enough, but also kind and compassionate enough to stand up to me - to stand up to me with compassion.
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 can't even think of the words of what I'm feeling. This man [Prince] was my everything, we had a family. I am beyond deeply saddened and devastated.
Madonna Ciccone
My father was very strong. I don't agree with a lot of the ways he brought me up. I don't agree with a lot of his values, but he did have a lot of integrity, and if he told us not to do something, he didn't do it either.
Madonna Ciccone
I can't stand when I walk into a room and everyone's not talking to each other and just on their phones.
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 am the result of the good choices I've made and the bad choices.
Madonna Ciccone
I'd love to be a memorable figure in the history of entertainment in some sexual, comic, tragic way. I'd like to leave the impression that Marilyn Monroe did, to be able to arouse so many different feelings in people.
Madonna Ciccone
He [Prince] changed the world!!A true visionary.What a loss.I'm devastated.
Madonna Ciccone
If you want something bad enough the whole world conspires to help you get it.
Madonna Ciccone
To me, the most important thing - aside from meeting people's physical needs, whether that's education, health care, clothing, food, a roof over their heads - is changing the mind-set and educating people. And most of all, most important, is empowering people and making them self-sustaining.
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
If we can elect an African American as president, we can support gay marriage! Defeat prop 8! We will not give up!
Madonna Ciccone
What else is there for me to conquer? Hopefully my ego. How will I know when I've succeeded? When I stop caring what anyone thinks.
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
I am my own experiment. I am my own work of art.
Madonna Ciccone
All the criticism is ultimately a blessing in disguise. Because now people know about Malawi [due to the child adoption]. And now people know about the orphans there. And hopefully it's gonna turn around. And a positive is gonna come out of the negative.
Madonna Ciccone
I want to be like Gandhi, and Martin Luther King, and John Lennon... but I want to stay alive.
Madonna Ciccone
