I'm encouraging other people, whether they're professionals or not, to use their creativity to express themselves, to get a conversation going, to get the party started, really.

I feel like everybody needs to take a sabbatical and go to Russia and Africa and work in orphanages and really witness true suffering. And then you'll just feel ridiculous for ever complaining about anything. Everybody needs that kind of reality check.

Image
I like that you have four minutes to zero in on something and evoke a specific feeling and take people on some sort of journey.

I don't care anymore if people dress like me, now I want them to think like me.
Madonna Ciccone
Image
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.

I think passive beauties have their place in the world. It's hard for me to relate to that.
Madonna Ciccone

I feel like everything I do makes people feel really uncomfortable.
Madonna Ciccone

One set of circumstances does not complete you. Maybe nothing ever does. So you work on your life and you work on your 'work' and you try to live every single day like it's your last. And you try to be better, to yourself and to others. I don't always succeed. But I try and it's my goal.

I always acted like a star long before I was one.
