I don't take drugs. I never did. All the feelings that drugs are supposed to produce in you - confidence or energy - I can produce naturally.

More quotes by Madonna Ciccone
A lot of places I go are dangerous, like Tel Aviv or Rio, but that never stops me from going there and putting on a show. I have good security. I don't worry about that.
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
My goal from the very beginning was just to write good songs that don't require any production to be felt or understood. I wanted to be able to sit in a room with a guitar and play the song from beginning to end and have it be as impactful as if you heard the studio version with all the bells and whistles.
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
People think that being famous is just about having your picture taken all the time and being rich rich rich, and you know what?... They're absolutely right.
Madonna Ciccone
I actually always try to have a moment in my show where I can just lay down on stage and talk to people for a little while.
Madonna Ciccone
I was more of a dancing kid than a singing kid. I mean, I sang in school choirs and I sang in school musicals, but I was much more interested in dancing than singing.
Madonna Ciccone
I'm not a feminist, I'm a humanist.
Madonna Ciccone
Some people are medicating themselves all the time so that they don't have to embrace themselves. If you can't feel, you can't embrace.
Madonna Ciccone
I know there's a lot of competition in the world of magazines and newspapers and we have to make headlines and be sensational and sell, and saying bad things about me is going to sell more papers than writing good things about me.
Madonna Ciccone
When the day is done the most important thing is loving people and sharing love.
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
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
Ever since my daughter was born I feel the fleetingness of time. And I don't want to waste it on getting the perfect lip color.
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
You don't want to be the smartest person in the room you want to be the dumbest in the room. You want to be surrounded by other thinking people who are going to say something that makes you think, Oh, my God, that's an amazing idea. Why didn't I think of that.
Madonna Ciccone
I love meetings with suits. I live for meetings with suits. I love them because I know they had a really boring week and I walk in there with my orange velvet leggings and drop popcorn in my cleavage and then fish it out and eat it. I like that. I know I'm entertaining them and I know that they know.
Madonna Ciccone
I'll flirt with anyone from garbagemen to grandmothers.
Madonna Ciccone
I know I'm not the greatest singer or dancer, but that doesn't interest me, I'm interested in being provocative and pushing people's buttons.
Madonna Ciccone
I don't even remember why I called myself an idiot. I can be very harshly critical of myself. It depends on my mood, and obviously it depends on where I am in my life. Yes, embracing myself - I'm working on that.
Madonna Ciccone
