More quotes by Madonna Ciccone
I am a survivor. I am like a cockroach, you just can't get rid of me.
Madonna Ciccone
A lot of people saw Marilyn Monroe and Judy Garland as persecuted and tragic and vulnerable, and I think a lot of gay men feel that way because of their particular predicament in society and not being accepted completely.
Madonna Ciccone
As much as I think I've inspired people in the world, I'd like to be more involved bringing about world peace.
Madonna Ciccone
My life is not a game that I play to entertain you.
Madonna Ciccone
I came to the realization that a strong female is frightening to everybody, because all societies are male-dominated, black societies, poor people, rich people, any racial group, they're all dominated by men. A strong female is going to threaten everybody across the board...
Madonna Ciccone
Art can heal it if art is allowed to exist. And if art is slowly wiped off the face of the planet, then what tools do we have to reach people, to appeal to them and all of their senses?
Madonna Ciccone
We live in a very scary time. Or should I say we don't live at all.
Madonna Ciccone
Girls can wear jeans and cut their hair short, wear shirts and boots cause it's okay to be a boy. But for a boy to look like a girl is degrading cause you think being a girl is degrading
Madonna Ciccone
I want people to be moved, to feel called to action. That's what I want to do.
Madonna Ciccone
Having children made me go down a road of serious introspection and self-examination. I think it's informed and hopefully enhanced my creativity.
Madonna Ciccone
I hope my child will be a good Catholic like me.
Madonna Ciccone
If you want something bad enough the whole world conspires to help you get it.
Madonna Ciccone
It's not easy having a good marriage--but I don't want easy. Easy doesn't make you grow. Easy doesn't make you think. I thank God everyday that I am married to a man who makes me think. That's my definition of true love.
Madonna Ciccone
I think lines are meant to be crossed anyways. The entire time I was singing on the cross, there's numbers flipping over my head. You know, starting at one and going up to 12 million.
Madonna Ciccone
I'm obsessed with clowns and what they represent and the idea that clowns are supposed to make you laugh, but inevitably they're hiding something. That's how I look at my life.
Madonna Ciccone
If I have to be the person who opens the door for women to believe and understand and embrace the idea that they can be sexual and look good and be as relevant in their 50s or their 60s as they were in their 20s, then so be it.
Madonna Ciccone
I feel like everything I do makes people feel really uncomfortable.
Madonna Ciccone
When my world seems to crumble all around, and foolish people try to bring me down, I just think of your smile face, and I'm flying.
Madonna Ciccone
I was a buffoon and an idiot until the age of forty
Madonna Ciccone
I was working with Toby Gad, who spent a lot of time in India. There's a sitar [in Body Shop] and the song has a very Indian flavor to it. I liked the idea of the body of a car as a kind of sexual metaphor - What you do to a car, what you do in a car - drive. So, lots of innuendos, and lots of fun.
