It amazes me when I talk to people in their early 20s and they've never read the classics, things we read as children. When you don't have knowledge and understanding, then fear rises in you.

More quotes by 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.
Madonna Ciccone
Education is not a luxury, it is a basic human right.
Madonna Ciccone
There's no borderline for the things that I can say, do, and create.
Madonna Ciccone
I want people to be moved, to feel called to action. That's what I want to do.
Madonna Ciccone
One must dare to show what he wants. You have to go and ask for things rather than wait for them to happen.
Madonna Ciccone
For me, it's either you're part of creation or you're part of destruction. It's inexplicable it's like breathing, and I can't imagine not doing it.
Madonna Ciccone
And I feel faster than the speeding light.
Madonna Ciccone
Before doing any interviews I like to know who I'm meeting with and get a bit of an idea of their sensibilities.
Madonna Ciccone
I always acted like a star long before I was one.
Madonna Ciccone
I think that its an artist's responsibility to have a point of view. Society takes its cue from popular art. People need something to look to, something to provoke them into questioning whether they completely hate something or completely love something.
Madonna Ciccone
I hope my child will be a good Catholic like me.
Madonna Ciccone
I like to change. A new lamp, a piece of art, can transform a room.
Madonna Ciccone
One of the many things I learned from all of this: If you aren't willing to fight for what you believe in, then don't even enter the ring.
Madonna Ciccone
I loved nuns when I was growing up. I thought they were beautiful. For several years I wanted to be a nun. I saw them as really pure, disciplined, above average people. They had these serene faces. Nuns are sexy.
Madonna Ciccone
In America it is not considered to be mentally ill when a woman advances on her prey in a discotheque setting with hardy cocktails present.
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
I love being photographed, or I should say I love the art of photography. It's about people taking photographs of you, stealing them, and then presuming or assuming or captioning. Words can never be taken back, photographs can never be taken back, nothing can ever be taken back.
Madonna Ciccone
I might be responsible for as many gay marriages as I am for heterosexual divorces.
Madonna Ciccone
There's no greater power than the power of good-bye.
Madonna Ciccone
It's always exciting for me to perform.
