More quotes by Madonna Ciccone
There is a very modest side to me too. How far away from me is the image? It's about 20 steps away.
Madonna Ciccone
It's not easy having a good marriage--but I don't want easy. Easy doesn't make you grow. Easy doesn't make you think. I thank God everyday that I am married to a man who makes me think. That's my definition of true love.
Madonna Ciccone
I try to have thick skin, but every once in a while I read something that someone says about me, and it's so slanderous and moralistic and it has nothing to do with my music.
Madonna Ciccone
I do some of my best stand-up comedy during sound checks.
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 think they were scared of me because I was different.
Madonna Ciccone
When my world seems to crumble all around, and foolish people try to bring me down, I just think of your smile face, and I'm flying.
Madonna Ciccone
I don't care anymore if people dress like me, now I want them to think like me.
Madonna Ciccone
I want people to be moved, to feel called to action. That's what I want to do.
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
I'd like to think I am taking people on a journey I am not just entertaining people, but giving them something to think about when they leave.
Madonna Ciccone
Losing my virginity was a career move.
Madonna Ciccone
My point of view and philosophy continues to change and grow. As the years go by you go through this evolution.
Madonna Ciccone
I know the aspect of my personality, being the vixen, the heartbreaker and the incredibly provocative girl is a very marketable image, but it's not insincere. You just can't take it seriously.
Madonna Ciccone
Isn't everyone just travelling down their own road watching the signs as they go?
Madonna Ciccone
You'll always be two steps behind me.
Madonna Ciccone
If your joy is derived from what society thinks of you, you're always going to be disappointed.
Madonna Ciccone
In my coming-of-age time, there was no internet, no social networking, nothing. It was just show after show, hoping one day somebody would notice you.
Madonna Ciccone
I think my biggest flaw is my insecurity. I'm terribly insecure. I'm plagued with insecurities 24/7.
Madonna Ciccone
To me, the most important thing - aside from meeting people's physical needs, whether that's education, health care, clothing, food, a roof over their heads - is changing the mind-set and educating people. And most of all, most important, is empowering people and making them self-sustaining.
Madonna Ciccone
