Madonna's quotes

  • [in the Los Angeles Times, October 1994] When I'm hungry, I eat. When I'm thirsty, I drink. When I feel like saying something, I say it.
  • Children always understand. They have open minds. They have built-in shit detectors.
  • [in Interview magazine, June 1993] I think that everyone should get married at least once, so you can see what a silly, outdated institution it is.
  • [from her book "Sex"] A lot of people are afraid to say what they want. That's why they don't get what they want.
  • [to David Letterman in March 1994] Listen, all you do is talk about my sex life on your show, so now you don't want to talk about my sex life when I'm on your show?!
  • [in Vanity Fair, April 1991] 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.
  • I feel just as hungry today as I did the day I left home.
  • [in Spin magazine, January 1996] Better to live one year as a tiger than hundred as a sheep.
  • I am my own experiment. I am my own work of art.
  • [in Elle magazine, February 2001] I'm like a cockroach. You just can't get rid of me.
  • [in W Magazine, April 2003] People who have nothing better to do than talk about my hair color have no lives.
  • [in Parkinson (1971), November 2005] I'm a gay man trapped in a woman's body!
  • Without the heart, there can be no understanding between the hand and the mind.
  • [in People magazine, March 1985] I'm tough, ambitious and I know exactly what I want. If that makes me a bitch, okay.
  • Fame can be very disruptive. It can be like a drug. It gives you the feeling that you're happy, it gives you the feeling of self-importance, it gives you the feeling of fulfillment... but it can distract you from what is really important.
  • [in Hits Daily Double magazine, August 2000] There is nothing rebellious about today's sounds, and music needs to be rebellious.
  • [after winning an Award of Honor at the French NRJ Music Awards, January 2004] My ambition may be American, and I may have married a Brit, but my heart belongs to France.
  • [in In Bed with Madonna (1991)] I wouldn't live in Chicago cause it's too conservative, aside for the fact that Oprah Winfrey lives there.
  • [in In Bed with Madonna (1991)] I know I'm not the best singer and I know I'm not the best dancer, but I'm not interested in that. I'm interested in pushing people's buttons, in being provocative and in being political.
  • [in W magazine, April 2003] I think that Kabbalah is very punk rock.
  • [on MTV, September 1984] What I would like to ultimately achieve, I already told Dick Clark once on American Bandstand (1952). So I'll repeat it again, and annoy everyone who was annoyed before when I said it: I want to conquer the world.
  • [in Smash Hits magazine, July 1989] Everyone in the family studied a musical instrument. My father was really big on that. Somehow I only took about a year and a half of piano lessons and I convinced my father to let me take dancing lessons instead.
  • [on Spice Girls] I like them. I know I am not supposed to. Every time someone says something bad about them, I say, "Hey, wait a minute, I was a Spice Girl once!"

  • You have to be patient... I'm not!
  • [in In Bed with Madonna (1991)] I hate people who hate women. Actually I hate people who hate!
  • I do think that the birth of my daughter was sort of a rebirth for me. It made me look at life in a completely new way. And that made me appreciate life in a way I don't think I ever had before.
  • [in Spin magazine, May 1985] When I was growing up, I was religious, in a passionate, adolescent way. Jesus Christ was like a movie star, my favorite idol of all.
  • [on Britney Spears] I feel really protective of her. Don't even ask me why. There's something about her. Even though she's terribly successful, for some reason I think of her as an underdog.
  • [in People magazine, April 2003] I don't want people to dress like me anymore. Now I want them to think like me. Dress like Britney Spears and think like me, and everything will be fine.
  • I've learned from studying Kabbalah that if your happiness is based on people approving of everything you do, you're doomed to fail... Kabbalah helped me stand up and take responsibility for everything to do with me.
  • If you take everything I do at face value, you're going to be horrified. Or intimidated. Or insulted. Or bored.

  • [on the death of David Bowie] I'm devastated! This great artist changed my life! First concert I ever saw in Detroit! R.I.P.
  • [on the death of Prince] He changed the world!! A true visionary. What a loss. I'm devastated.
  • [in Details magazine, December 1994] It's common to have abortions. Many people have them and it's nothing to be ashamed of.

  • [pickup line she fed Norris Burroughs in 1978] Get your gorgeous Brando body over here.
  • [in Rock Center with Brian Williams (2011), May 2012] People like to get attention and they know they can get attention for themselves by mentioning my name. I think some people are kind of stuck on my name like a needle on a record.

  • Fantasies are essential. Without fantasies I would have died of starvation.
  • [to Eddy Moretti in September 2013, commenting on the global political climate] You think we're a civilization that's moving forward, but I'm sorry my friend, we are not! We are going backwards!

  • [at the premiere of Madonna: The MDNA Tour (2013), June 2013, when asked what kind of workout she does to keep in shape] I hate those questions. I did the show every fucking night, OK! Is that a workout? I mean, did you watch?

  • [in Rolling Stone magazine, September 2000] You can't go to London and not start drinking Guinness. And I have been known to eat fried fish and French fries. When in Rome - right?

  • [Spin, January 1996] I identified with black men because I thought in a way we experience the same things - people treat you like shit 'cause you're black, people treat you like shit 'cause you're a woman. But that is not in fact the case.
  • [on late motherhood] I wasn't ready when I was 30 to have a kid.
