My mother died when I was five, and all I did was sit and cry. I cried and cried and cried all day, until the neighbors went away.

More quotes by Madonna Ciccone
New York wasn't everything I thought it would be. It did not welcome me with open arms. The first year, I was held up at gunpoint. Raped on the roof of a building I was dragged up to with a knife in my back, and had my apartment broken into three times. I don't know why I had nothing of value after they took my radio the first time.
Madonna Ciccone
Life and love inspire me. I think reinventing yourself is vital to your survival as an artist and a human being. I know it’s cliché to say about me at this point, but it’s true. My curiosity definitely is the driving force in my life and career. When you stop learning, engaging and growing, you’re dead.
Madonna Ciccone
If we can elect an African American as president, we can support gay marriage! Defeat prop 8! We will not give up!
Madonna Ciccone
Never forget to dream.
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
Popularity comes and goes. You need to know who you are, what you stand for, and why you're here.
Madonna Ciccone
I'd like to think I am taking people on a journey I am not just entertaining people, but giving them something to think about when they leave.
Madonna Ciccone
I didn't really give a sh** what's going on in the rest of the world. I just didn't. I just wanted to focus on me, me, me, my career, my life, just me - blinders.
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
I loved Prince then, I love him now and will love him eternally. He's with our son now.
Madonna Ciccone
I don't care anymore if people dress like me, now I want them to think like me.
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'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
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
I think that its an artist's responsibility to have a point of view. Society takes its cue from popular art. People need something to look to, something to provoke them into questioning whether they completely hate something or completely love something.
Madonna Ciccone
You'll always be two steps behind me.
Madonna Ciccone
I do think that the birth of my daughter was sort of a rebirth for me. It made me look at life in a completely new way. And that made me appreciate life in a way I don't think I ever had before.
Madonna Ciccone
People have this idea that if you're sexual and beautiful and provocative, then there's nothing else you could possibly offer.
Madonna Ciccone
I laugh at myself. I don't take myself completely seriously. I think that's another quality that people have to hold on to... you have to laugh, especially at yourself.
Madonna Ciccone
I am because we are. We all bleed the same color. We all want to love and be loved.
