When I'm dead and no longer the threat. My comfort is that all the great artists since the beginning of time have always been completely misunderstood and never fully appreciated until they were dead.

More quotes by 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
When you're 25, it's a little bit easier to be daring, especially if you are a pop star, because eccentric behavior is expected from you.
Madonna Ciccone
Today I decided to sing in my underwear! No one seemed to mind! #loveyoufromtheinsideout. #artforfreedom

Acknowledge World Aids Day! Do what you can to help save lives! #livingforlove
Madonna Ciccone
When I first came to New York I was a dancer, and a French record label offered me a recording contract and I had to go to Paris to do it. So I went there and that's how I really got into the music business. But I didn't like what I was doing when I got there, so I left, and I never did a record there.
Madonna Ciccone
It's always exciting for me to perform.
Madonna Ciccone
Filmmaking is such a collaboration. At a certain point, I suppose you do have to let go and trust the people you're working with.
Madonna Ciccone
But I love the idea - whether it's in my work or where I live - exploring new frontier, and I like putting myself in strange places and trying to survive and figure things out and gather up an infrastructure. I like knowing that I could figure out a way to live anywhere.
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
Elvis Presley? He's God.
Madonna Ciccone
Ultimately it boils down to the same thing all relationships boil down to: eating humble pie. I sometimes eat quite a lot. But, however bitter it might taste, it's the best pie. It's on the menu constantly for both parties.
Madonna Ciccone
If I have to be the person who opens the door for women to believe and understand and embrace the idea that they can be sexual and look good and be as relevant in their 50s or their 60s as they were in their 20s, then so be it.
Madonna Ciccone
I can't even think of the words of what I'm feeling. This man [Prince] was my everything, we had a family. I am beyond deeply saddened and devastated.
Madonna Ciccone
The essence of femininity is to absolutely love being a woman.
Madonna Ciccone
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.
Madonna Ciccone
We're in the world of creating illusions and giving people the ability to dream and to be inspired or moved.
Madonna Ciccone
I must confess that I am usually drawn to sadness, and loneliness has never been a stranger to me. But love tried to welcome me, but my soul drew back, guilty of lust and sin.
Madonna Ciccone
I like talking I like playing with the audience.
Madonna Ciccone
And I feel faster than the speeding light.
Madonna Ciccone
After years and years of everybody commenting on the way I look and dress and being photographed, one starts to become self-conscious and starts to plan things more. You end up judging yourself more, what looks good and what doesn't.
Madonna Ciccone
