More quotes by Madonna Ciccone
I feel like everything I do makes people feel really uncomfortable.
Madonna Ciccone
As much as I think I've inspired people in the world, I'd like to be more involved bringing about world peace.
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
I was a buffoon and an idiot until the age of forty
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
For me, it's all about being in a tiny room with little windows. It's almost like you have to be in a prison.
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
Who is my role model and how long can I keep this going? I just move around and do different things and come back to music, try making films and come back to music, write children's books and come back to music.
Madonna Ciccone
You're getting angry, you know I can see. You're just jealous, cause you can't be me.
Madonna Ciccone
I feel just as hungry today as I did the day I left home.
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
We learn our lessons we get hurt we want revenge. Then we realize that actually, happiness and forgiving people is the best revenge.
Madonna Ciccone
I always thought I should be treated like a star.
Madonna Ciccone
I think the biggest reason I was able to express myself and not be intimidated was by not having a mother. For example, mothers teach you manners. And I absolutely did not learn any of those rules and regulations.
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
At a time when political correctness is valued over honesty I would also like to say right on motherfuckers!
Madonna Ciccone
I think all of us make the mistake of thinking we're going to change people when we get together. But we're not. People are who they are. And people change in their own time.
Madonna Ciccone
It amazes me when I talk to people in their early 20s and they've never read the classics, things we read as children. When you don't have knowledge and understanding, then fear rises in you.
Madonna Ciccone
Publicly humiliating someone for your own gain will only come and haunt you. God's going to have his revenge.
Madonna Ciccone
In this business, my business, I get to meet all kinds of incredible people, fascinating people, glamorous people and sexy people and highly intellectual people. And you meet them and you go 'interesting, interesting, interesting'. They're interesting, but not very many people stop you in your tracks.
Madonna Ciccone
