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?

Some girls they like candy and others they like to grind. I'll settle for the back of your hand somewhere on my behind.
Madonna Ciccone
One set of circumstances does not complete you. Maybe nothing ever does. So you work on your life and you work on your 'work' and you try to live every single day like it's your last. And you try to be better, to yourself and to others. I don't always succeed. But I try and it's my goal.
Madonna Ciccone
I think they were scared of me because I was different. I've always asked, 'Why? Why do I have to do that? Why do I have to look this way? Why do I have to dress this way? Why do I have to behave this way?'
Madonna Ciccone
Looking at my life, it's very clear to me, I lived so selfishly.

Madonna Ciccone
I believe in freedom of expression, I don't believe in censorship.
Madonna Ciccone
I like to make people think.
Madonna Ciccone
I wouldn't say I wanna conquer the world anymore. But I want to be a part of making the world a better place. I want to inspire people and I wanna be part of the solution.
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 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
T.G.T.B.T: too good to be true.
Madonna Ciccone
I stand for freedom of expression, doing what you believe in, and going after your dreams.

People hear the soul, black influence in my voice. I grew up listening to CKLW and all the black stations like WLBS.
