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.

More quotes by Madonna Ciccone
I think in the end, when you're famous, people like to narrow you down to a few personality traits. I think I've just become this ambitious, say-whatever's-on-her-mind, intimidating person. And that's part of my personality, but it's certainly not anywhere near the whole thing.
Madonna Ciccone
It's always exciting for me to perform.
Madonna Ciccone
I’m a role model for those who dare to be different. For those who dare to take a stand in their life and have an opinion
Madonna Ciccone
Not only do we suffer from racism and sexism, but we also suffer from ageism. And that is that once you reach a certain age, you're not allowed to be adventurous, you're not allowed to be sexual and I think that's rather hideous. [...] I mean, is there a rule? Are you just supposed to die when you're 40?
Madonna Ciccone
My daughter is a fan of mine but she doesn't want to be too obvious about it because I'm her mum and it's not cool.
Madonna Ciccone
The world is not so kind, people trap your mind.
Madonna Ciccone
Education is not a luxury, it is a basic human right.
Madonna Ciccone
Sometimes I was in a mood to write a song as if I was writing in my journal and reveal certain parts of me that I was ready to reveal.
Madonna Ciccone
You'll always be two steps behind me.
Madonna Ciccone
My idea of the perfect man would be someone intelligent and clever enough, but also kind and compassionate enough to stand up to me - to stand up to me with compassion.
Madonna Ciccone
I can't stand when I walk into a room and everyone's not talking to each other and just on their phones.
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'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.
Madonna Ciccone
If those civil rights groups are going into those orphanages and offering to look after those children, then they have every right to make a stink about it. But they're not. They're not offering a solution.
Madonna Ciccone
Hanging a noose on my door reeks of cowardice and fear on many, many levels.
Madonna Ciccone
The worst thing about being famous? I think it's what everybody says.. the lack of privacy and the idea that you're not really allowed to make mistakes and everything that you do is viewed under a microscope.
Madonna Ciccone
I don't think anyone strives to be anything negative. I just think that it's our nature to only focus on a few things in life and forget about a lot of other stuff.
Madonna Ciccone
I'll flirt with anyone from garbagemen to grandmothers.
Madonna Ciccone
Every time I reach a new peak, I see a new one I want to climb.
Madonna Ciccone
I don't even remember why I called myself an idiot. I can be very harshly critical of myself. It depends on my mood, and obviously it depends on where I am in my life. Yes, embracing myself - I'm working on that.
Madonna Ciccone
