For me, Madonna has been not only a queer icon but also a Christ icon. (Madonna (entertainer))
This is a historical evening. This is fucking important evening... We are lucky to be sharing it with each other. This is the beginning of a whole new world. Open your fucking head!
Madonna (entertainer)
I'm everything!

Every time I do a show, I die a little bit, but no shit is worth doing unless you're willing to die for it.

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 (entertainer)
I was more of a dancing kid than a singing kid. I mean, I sang in school choirs and I sang in school musicals, but I was much more interested in dancing than singing.
Madonna (entertainer)
I hate being called a pop star. I hate that.
Madonna (entertainer)
I don't go to the sale rack. But I wouldn't say I am decadent in my spending. I am careful.
Madonna (entertainer)
Part of the reason I sort of shot out like a cannon out of Michigan and left home at such an early age is because I had to feel independent.
Madonna (entertainer)
With all the chaos, pain and suffering in the world, the fact that my adoption of a child from who was living in an orphanage, you know, was the number one story for a week in the world. To me, that says more about our inability to focus on the real problems.

I live - I live a highly scheduled life. There's absolutely no time wasted. I'm very focused. And I have a great assistant. (Madonna (entertainer))
There's always elements of danger in New York, but people are always out on the street. I don't feel scared there at all.
Madonna (entertainer)
I know I'm not the greatest singer or dancer, but that doesn't interest me. I'm interested in being provocative and pushing people's buttons.
Madonna (entertainer)
I am the result of the good choices I've made and the bad choices.
Madonna (entertainer)
I think the biggest reason I was able to express myself and not be intimidated was by not having a mother. For example, mothers teach you manners. And I absolutely did not learn any of those rules and regulations.
Madonna (entertainer)
I sometimes think I was born to live up to my name. How could I be anything else but what I am having been named Madonna? I would either have ended up a nun or this.
Madonna (entertainer)
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 (entertainer)
Obviously, I feel a great sense of responsibility being a good parent and raising my children. I don't take that job very lightly. Who they are, what they become and what they contribute to the world is very important to me.
Madonna (entertainer)
I get strength from my art - all the paintings I own are powerful.
Madonna (entertainer)
I refuse to act the way someone expects me to.
Madonna (entertainer)
I like to change. A new lamp, a piece of art, can transform a room. (Madonna (entertainer))
I'm ambitious. But if I weren't as talented as I am ambitious, I would be a gross monstrosity.

I grew up in a high school where it was very conservative, and I felt like people disapproved of me, and I felt like an outsider.
Madonna (entertainer)
I think that everyone should get married at least once, so you can see what a silly, outdated institution it is.
Madonna (entertainer)
I wouldn't live in Chicago cause it's too conservative, aside for the fact that Oprah Winfrey lives there.
