More quotes by Madonna Ciccone
A lot of people saw Marilyn Monroe and Judy Garland as persecuted and tragic and vulnerable, and I think a lot of gay men feel that way because of their particular predicament in society and not being accepted completely.
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
My work gives me a sense of purpose that I never really had before - it gives me a lot of joy, and it would be wonderful to invite other people to get involved.
Madonna Ciccone
I don't believe there's a certain age where you can't say and feel and be who you want to be.
Madonna Ciccone
I was never appalled by myself. I felt a little bit uneasy about certain things. But honestly I've learned to love myself and to see that in the midst of all my ambition and desire to succeed and my search for approval, I do give things to people. I bring some sort of happiness to their lives. So I'm not so hard on myself anymore.
Madonna Ciccone
There is a very modest side to me too. How far away from me is the image? It's about 20 steps away.
Madonna Ciccone
When I first came to New York I was a dancer, and a French record label offered me a recording contract and I had to go to Paris to do it. So I went there and that's how I really got into the music business. But I didn't like what I was doing when I got there, so I left, and I never did a record there.
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
Girls can wear jeans and cut their hair short, wear shirts and boots cause it's okay to be a boy. But for a boy to look like a girl is degrading cause you think being a girl is degrading
Madonna Ciccone
[George Michael] is a great songwriter and he makes very classy videos, like me.
Madonna Ciccone
I like to be provocative. I like to make people think. I like to touch people's hearts. And if I can do all three of those things in one fell swoop, then I feel like I've really accomplished something.
Madonna Ciccone
If it makes Tom Cruise happy, I don't care if he prays to turtles, ... And I don't think anybody else should.
Madonna Ciccone
I don't want no lies, I don't watch TV. I don't waste my time, won't read a magazine.
Madonna Ciccone
I don't go to the sale rack. But I wouldn't say I am decadent in my spending. I am careful.
Madonna Ciccone
The only way I've been able to survive the betrayal of lovers, family members, and society is to be able to create as an artist.
Madonna Ciccone
I'm not going to compromise my artistic integrity.
Madonna Ciccone
Younger people are generally more adventurous - they're more open, more fun - have you met many guys my age? Guys my age are married or divorced or grumpy, fat and balding.
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
Being loved keeps you young.
Madonna Ciccone
There's no borderline for the things that I can say, do, and create.
Madonna Ciccone
