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?

More quotes by Madonna Ciccone
Never forget to dream.
Madonna Ciccone
I've always been interested in electronica, techno, trip-hop, that kind of music. The thing that bothered me about a lot of that music, though, was it seemed devoid of emotion. There wasn't a lot that felt personal.
Madonna Ciccone
That consciousness is everything and that all things begin with a thought. That we are responsible for our own fate, we reap what we sow, we get what we give, we pull in what we put out.
Madonna Ciccone
If at first you don't succeed, you're obviously not me.
Madonna Ciccone
The media is something that affects a lot of people, so you're constantly trying to strike a balance between respecting something and not caring about it.
Madonna Ciccone
My life is not a game that I play to entertain you.
Madonna Ciccone
When I get down on my knees, it is not to pray.
Madonna Ciccone
Everyone probably thinks that I'm a raving nymphomaniac, that I have an insatiable sexual appetite, when the truth is I'd rather read a book.
Madonna Ciccone
It doesn't matter who you are, it's what you do that takes you far.
Madonna Ciccone
I get strength from my art - all the paintings I own are powerful.
Madonna Ciccone
All the criticism is ultimately a blessing in disguise. Because now people know about Malawi [due to the child adoption]. And now people know about the orphans there. And hopefully it's gonna turn around. And a positive is gonna come out of the negative.
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
Getting lit! Full Disclosure............#dancing #fun #life #livingforlove
Madonna Ciccone
I just like the idea of pills. I like to collect them but not actually take them. When I fell off my horse, I got tons of stuff: Demerol and Vicodin and Xanax and Valium and Oxycontin, which is supposed to be like heroin. And I'm quite scared to take them. I'm a control freak.
Madonna Ciccone
I think they probably got it on, Jesus and Mary Magdalene.
Madonna Ciccone
I didn't really give a sh** what's going on in the rest of the world. I just didn't. I just wanted to focus on me, me, me, my career, my life, just me - blinders.
Madonna Ciccone
You're getting angry, you know I can see. You're just jealous, cause you can't be me.
Madonna Ciccone
Jean-Baptiste Mondino: She's John Lennon and Yoko Ono at the same time.
Madonna Ciccone
Deep in my heart I'm concealing things that I'm longing to say. Scared to confess what I'm feeling - frightened you'll slip away.
Madonna Ciccone
If any of you have seen my shows, you know that I don't skimp on them and the same is true for the gym. We spend what it takes to make a globally first-class gym.
