More quotes by Madonna Ciccone
When I first came to New York I was a dancer, and a French record label offered me a recording contract and I had to go to Paris to do it. So I went there and that's how I really got into the music business. But I didn't like what I was doing when I got there, so I left, and I never did a record there.
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 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.
Madonna Ciccone
In America it is not considered to be mentally ill when a woman advances on her prey in a discotheque setting with hardy cocktails present.
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 want to be like Gandhi, and Martin Luther King, and John Lennon... but I want to stay alive.
Madonna Ciccone
I felt very awkward and out of place in school. Not popular, not attractive, not special in any way and I was longing for love and approval from someone.
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
When I get down on my knees, it is not to pray.
Madonna Ciccone
Yoga is a metaphor for life. You have to take it really slowly. You can't rush. You can't skip to the next position. You find yourself in very humiliating situations, but you can't judge yourself. You just have to breathe, and let go. It is a workout for your mind, your body and your soul.
Madonna Ciccone
On the one hand, the idea of marriage and the sort of traditional family life repulses me. But on the other hand, I long for it, you know what I mean? I'm constantly in conflict with things. And it is because of my past and my upbringing and the journey that I've been on.
Madonna Ciccone
After years and years of everybody commenting on the way I look and dress and being photographed, one starts to become self-conscious and starts to plan things more. You end up judging yourself more, what looks good and what doesn't.
Madonna Ciccone
Ever since my daughter was born I feel the fleetingness of time. And I don't want to waste it on getting the perfect lip color.
Madonna Ciccone
I was never satisfied with casual encounters, I can't hide my need for two hearts that bleed with burning love.
Madonna Ciccone
I could never work in a recording studio where you have this lovely view and a beach and the waves are crashing. 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. And you can create beauty when you're in that sort of deprived environment, which is a re-creation of your formative years.
Madonna Ciccone
Popularity comes and goes. You need to know who you are, what you stand for, and why you're here.
Madonna Ciccone
No one knows you better than you know yourself. Do the thing you want. Don't wait for someone else
Madonna Ciccone
Why did I want to break all the rules? Because the rules didn’t make sense, that’s why
Madonna Ciccone
I can't even think of the words of what I'm feeling. This man [Prince] was my everything, we had a family. I am beyond deeply saddened and devastated.
Madonna Ciccone
I'd love to be a memorable figure in the history of entertainment in some sexual, comic, tragic way. I'd like to leave the impression that Marilyn Monroe did, to be able to arouse so many different feelings in people.
