More quotes by Madonna Ciccone
The physical body is assembled just like a chair or a building or a flower, but the revolutions we start, the people we affect and inspire, that is eternal. So, in that respect, we do achieve immortality, and that makes me less fearful.
Madonna Ciccone
I want people to be moved, to feel called to action. That's what I want to do.
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
I think art should be controversial. I think it should make people think.
Madonna Ciccone
I keep telling everyone that I want to start a revolution but no one is taking me seriously. If I had black skin and an afro, would you take me seriously? If I was an Arab waving a hand grenade, would you take me seriously?
Madonna Ciccone
I didn't set out to write certain kinds of songs - I just set out to write good songs.
Madonna Ciccone
You don't have to have a language in common with someone for a sexual rapport. But it helps if the language you don't understand is Italian.
Madonna Ciccone
If you're not comfortable with a strong woman you're not comfortable with your own feminine instincts. You're not comfortable, period. You're going to be threatened by everything that's not exactly like you are ... and that is the measure any man.
Madonna Ciccone
When I'm dead and no longer the threat. My comfort is that all the great artists since the beginning of time have always been completely misunderstood and never fully appreciated until they were dead.
Madonna Ciccone
I think the biggest reason I was able to express myself and not be intimidated was by not having a mother. For example, mothers teach you manners. And I absolutely did not learn any of those rules and regulations.
Madonna Ciccone
Sick and perverted always appeals to me.
Madonna Ciccone
With all the chaos, pain and suffering in the world, the fact that my adoption of a child from who was living in an orphanage, you know, was the number one story for a week in the world. To me, that says more about our inability to focus on the real problems.
Madonna Ciccone
You bring me to my knees, while I'm scratching out the eyes of a world I want to conquer, and deliver, and despise. And right while I am kneeling there, I suddenly begin to care. And understand that there could be a person that loves me.
Madonna Ciccone
The only way we know we love ourselves and the people in our life is by the agreements we are willing to make and keep
Madonna Ciccone
Popularity comes and goes. You need to know who you are, what you stand for, and why you're here.
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
I believe in freedom of expression, I don't believe in censorship.
Madonna Ciccone
What else is there for me to conquer? Hopefully my ego. How will I know when I've succeeded? When I stop caring what anyone thinks.
Madonna Ciccone
But I love the idea - whether it's in my work or where I live - exploring new frontier, and I like putting myself in strange places and trying to survive and figure things out and gather up an infrastructure. I like knowing that I could figure out a way to live anywhere.
Madonna Ciccone
When I get down on my knees, it is not to pray.
Madonna Ciccone
