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
One is that we are all responsible for our actions, our behavior, and our words, and we must take responsibility for everything we say and do. I am the architect of my destiny. You can`t blame other people for things that happened to you.
Madonna Ciccone
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
The one thing I don't understand is when people make comments who are clearly not fans of mine. I think, why are you here? Why are you wasting your time? It's fascinating.
Madonna Ciccone
In our house we don't use words like despise and 'hate,' we say strongly dislike.
Madonna Ciccone
Everybody in our family studied a musical instrument. My father was really big on that. Somehow I only took a year or two of piano lessons and I convinced my father to let me take dancing lessons.
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 was a buffoon and an idiot until the age of forty
Madonna Ciccone
I'm very grateful that I had work to do. I may have thrown myself off a building.
Madonna Ciccone
I always thought I should be treated like a star.
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
Cosmic systems intertwine, astral bodies drip like wine, all of nature ebbs and flows. Comets shoot across the sky, can't explain the reasons why, this is how creation goes.
Madonna Ciccone
[George Michael] is a great songwriter and he makes very classy videos, like me.
Madonna Ciccone
People have this idea that if you're sexual and beautiful and provocative, then there's nothing else you could possibly offer.
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
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
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
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 could never work in a recording studio where you have this lovely view and a beach and the waves are crashing. For me, it's all about being in a tiny room with little windows. It's almost like you have to be in a prison. And you can create beauty when you're in that sort of deprived environment, which is a re-creation of your formative years.
Madonna Ciccone
Prince Charles is very relaxed at the table, throwing his salad around willy-nilly. I didn't find him stiff at all.
Madonna Ciccone
I fear the future I wish for my children is at risk, so I'm taking action. Please join me.
