Quote

There isn't a performer on earth that isn't an exhibitionist. There isn't any point in being in this business if you're not an exhibitionist. And, by the way, you can be an exhibitionist and be very shy as well.

More quotes by 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.

New York wasn't everything I thought it would be. It did not welcome me with open arms. The first year, I was held up at gunpoint. Raped on the roof of a building I was dragged up to with a knife in my back, and had my apartment broken into three times. I don't know why I had nothing of value after they took my radio the first time.

I am my own experiment. I am my own work of art.

This will be a revolution of inquiring further, of not worrying about winning other people's approval, of not wishing you were someone else but perfectly content to be who you are. Someone unique, and rare, and fearless. I want to start a revolution of love.

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
Image
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
Image
On the one hand, the idea of marriage and the sort of traditional family life repulses me. But on the other hand, I long for it, you know what I mean? I'm constantly in conflict with things. And it is because of my past and my upbringing and the journey that I've been on.

Image
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
Image
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
Image
I wouldn't have turned out the way I was if I didn't have all those old-fashioned values to rebel against.
Madonna Ciccone
Image
I like to make people think.
Madonna Ciccone
Image
Sometimes I look back at myself and remember things I used to say, or my hairstyle, and I cringe.

The only way we know we love ourselves and the people in our life is by the agreements we are willing to make and keep

We've made so many advances in other areas - civil rights, gay rights - but ageism is still an area that's taboo and not talked about and dealt with.

I get strength from my art - all the paintings I own are powerful.

Fame gets you in the door but it doesn't keep you in the room.

When the day is done the most important thing is loving people and sharing love.

Hanging a noose on my door reeks of cowardice and fear on many, many levels.

If I'm smart then I'll run away, but I'm not so I guess I'll stay
