More quotes by Madonna Ciccone
My father was very strong. I don't agree with a lot of the ways he brought me up. I don't agree with a lot of his values, but he did have a lot of integrity, and if he told us not to do something, he didn't do it either.
Madonna Ciccone
I don't care if you hate me or love me, as long as I make you think.
Madonna Ciccone
Everything looks true written down. What you read in National Enquirer and News Of The World looks true written down.
Madonna Ciccone
The worst thing about being famous? I think it's what everybody says.. the lack of privacy and the idea that you're not really allowed to make mistakes and everything that you do is viewed under a microscope.
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
He [Prince] changed the world!!A true visionary.What a loss.I'm devastated.
Madonna Ciccone
Rejection is the greatest aphrodisiac.
Madonna Ciccone
I know I'm not the greatest singer or dancer, but that doesn't interest me, I'm interested in being provocative and pushing people's buttons.
Madonna Ciccone
I want to be like Gandhi, and Martin Luther King, and John Lennon... but I want to stay alive.
Madonna Ciccone
We live in a very scary time. Or should I say we don't live at all.
Madonna Ciccone
I want people to be moved, to feel called to action. That's what I want to do.
Madonna Ciccone
I'm not a feminist, I'm a humanist.
Madonna Ciccone
You don't want to be the smartest person in the room you want to be the dumbest in the room. You want to be surrounded by other thinking people who are going to say something that makes you think, Oh, my God, that's an amazing idea. Why didn't I think of that.
Madonna Ciccone
The essence of femininity is to absolutely love being a woman.
Madonna Ciccone
And then, going to high school, I saw how popular girls had to behave to get the boys. I knew I couldn't fit into that. So I decided to do the opposite. I refused to wear makeup, to have a hairstyle. I refused to shave. I had hairy armpits.
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
My life is not a game that I play to entertain you.
Madonna Ciccone
I think the silence would be good with me, and not interacting with people would be okay. But not being able to move outside of the space would be hard. Not being able to walk around - the stillness of my body, physically - that would be the challenge.
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
Sometimes I look back at myself and remember things I used to say, or my hairstyle, and I cringe.
