I hate polite conversation. I hate it when people stand around and go, Hi, how are you? I hate words that don't have any reason or meaning. Also I hate it when people smoke in elevators and closed in places. It's just so rude.

I feel just as hungry today as I did the day I left home.
Madonna Ciccone
I fear the future I wish for my children is at risk, so I'm taking action. Please join me.
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
Art keeps me alive. I've obviously been devastated or heartbroken all my life, since my mother's death.
Madonna Ciccone
I learned a lot about humility and patience, keeping my mouth shut.
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

Madonna Ciccone
I have to get way more vocal and become a little bit less mysterious.
Madonna Ciccone
I'm not claiming to appeal to the same people that Christina Aguilera or Britney Spears are going to appeal to. I'm not trying to. I'm doing what I want to do.
Madonna Ciccone
I grew up in a high school where it was very conservative, and I felt like people disapproved of me, and I felt like an outsider.
Madonna Ciccone
I think after time goes by and you earn certain rights or you break through certain barriers, you could sometimes, maybe, take it for granted what you have now that you didn't have before. And then that would lead to a certain lack of community, in a way, caring in a way, that I saw before [in gay society].
Madonna Ciccone
I think in the end, when you're famous, people like to narrow you down to a few personality traits. I think I've just become this ambitious, say-whatever's-on-her-mind, intimidating person. And that's part of my personality, but it's certainly not anywhere near the whole thing.
Madonna Ciccone
I'm constantly exploring spirituality, sexuality, different aspects of love, whether it's romantic love or the love you have for your children. And love can be as devastating and destructive as it can be rejuvenating and life-giving. I guess I try to capture all of that.
Madonna Ciccone
You only see what your eyes want to see. How can life be what you want it to be?
Madonna Ciccone
Only the one that hurts you can make you feel better. Only the one that inflicts pain can take it away
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
If you have to ask for something more than once or twice, it wasn't yours in the first place. And that's hard to accept when you love someone.
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
I think passive beauties have their place in the world. It's hard for me to relate to that.
Madonna Ciccone
I suffered fools so gladly.
