You didn't understand or care to know, you get your education from your lovers.
Madonna Ciccone
Image
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
Image
I don't think anyone strives to be anything negative. I just think that it's our nature to only focus on a few things in life and forget about a lot of other stuff.
Madonna Ciccone
Image
For me, it's either you're part of creation or you're part of destruction. It's inexplicable it's like breathing, and I can't imagine not doing it.
Madonna Ciccone
Image
Rejection is the greatest aphrodisiac.
Madonna Ciccone
