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 like to change. A new lamp, a piece of art, can transform a room.
Madonna Ciccone
Fame is a by-product. It's not a goal. What matters is loving your work and loving what you do
Madonna Ciccone
I like pushing the envelope. But I don't like to do it just for the sake of doing it.
Madonna Ciccone
My daughter is a fan of mine but she doesn't want to be too obvious about it because I'm her mum and it's not cool.
Madonna Ciccone
I try to have thick skin, but every once in a while I read something that someone says about me, and it's so slanderous and moralistic and it has nothing to do with my music.
Madonna Ciccone
Everybody in our family studied a musical instrument. My father was really big on that. Somehow I only took a year or two of piano lessons and I convinced my father to let me take dancing lessons.
Madonna Ciccone
Unbelievable, George Michael has died at the age of 53. RIP.This dreadful year goes on and on.So sad, a real talent.
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
I was working with Toby Gad, who spent a lot of time in India. There's a sitar [in Body Shop] and the song has a very Indian flavor to it. I liked the idea of the body of a car as a kind of sexual metaphor - What you do to a car, what you do in a car - drive. So, lots of innuendos, and lots of fun.
Madonna Ciccone
Fame gets you in the door but it doesn't keep you in the room.
Madonna Ciccone
I feel like everybody needs to take a sabbatical and go to Russia and Africa and work in orphanages and really witness true suffering. And then you'll just feel ridiculous for ever complaining about anything. Everybody needs that kind of reality check.
Madonna Ciccone
One of the many things I learned from all of this: If you aren't willing to fight for what you believe in, then don't even enter the ring.
Madonna Ciccone
I worked for everything that I got and I worked long and hard before I got to this point so when I got it I thought I deserve it.
Madonna Ciccone
I'll stop doing everything that I do when I don't want to do it anymore.
Madonna Ciccone
My life is not a game that I play to entertain you.
Madonna Ciccone
It's always exciting for me to perform.
Madonna Ciccone
I just like the idea of pills. I like to collect them but not actually take them. When I fell off my horse, I got tons of stuff: Demerol and Vicodin and Xanax and Valium and Oxycontin, which is supposed to be like heroin. And I'm quite scared to take them. I'm a control freak.
Madonna Ciccone
I think art should be controversial. I think it should make people think.
Madonna Ciccone
I've gone from having a huge fan base to losing a huge fan base to having a kind of fluctuating fan base. I've always had a core of fans who've stuck by me but, depending on the kind of music I do, I end up appealing to certain groups of people and alienating others.
