My nature is to provoke, that's true. I can't help myself. But it's always with good intentions.

Madonna 656 quotes

I wanted to know why people fo...

I wanted to know why people follow rules blindly, or why girls had to act a certain way and boys didn't. Why could boys ask girls out and girls not ask guys out? Why did girls have to shave their legs and guys didn't? Why did society, like, set everything up the way they did? My whole adolescence was full of unanswered whys. Because they never got answered, I just kept lighting fires everywhere - metaphorically speaking.

Madonna 656 quotes

My father was very strict with...

My father was very strict with me, and I kept seeing a disparity between their freedom and my lack of it, or how I had all the responsibilities and they had none. And the Catholic Church, all of the rules, and why did I have to wear a dress when they could wear pants? I would say to my dad: 'Will Jesus love me less if I wear pants? Am I going to hell?'

Madonna 656 quotes

Believing in yourself and bein...

Believing in yourself and being willing to do anything, to walk through the fire, to do what it is that you want to do. Getting out of that car accident covered with blood to play the gig . . . I mean, that's me. That's just me.

Madonna 656 quotes

I see a huge paradox in me - t...

I see a huge paradox in me - the intense need to be loved and the search for approval juxtaposed with the need to nurture other people, to be the mother I never had.

Madonna 656 quotes

All the criticism is ultimatel...

All the criticism is ultimately a blessing in disguise. Because now people know about Malawi [due to the child adoption]. And now people know about the orphans there. And hopefully it's gonna turn around. And a positive is gonna come out of the negative.

Madonna 656 quotes

I think most children who are ...

I think most children who are adopted ultimately want to meet their biological parents and often do. I think that is an important journey for children who are adopted to go on.

Madonna 656 quotes

People don't know what Kabbala...

People don't know what Kabbalah is, and so they jump to conclusions. For me, studying Kabbalah is studying - is just - is asking questions. And I encourage all of my children to be that way, and I think people don't understand that. And so they make assumptions and they judge.

Madonna 656 quotes

I think lines are meant to be ...

I think lines are meant to be crossed anyways. The entire time I was singing on the cross, there's numbers flipping over my head. You know, starting at one and going up to 12 million.

Madonna 656 quotes

I wouldn't say I wanna conquer...

I wouldn't say I wanna conquer the world anymore. But I want to be a part of making the world a better place. I want to inspire people and I wanna be part of the solution.

Madonna 656 quotes

I keep telling everyone that I...

I keep telling everyone that I want to start a revolution but no one is taking me seriously. If I had black skin and an afro, would you take me seriously? If I was an Arab waving a hand grenade, would you take me seriously?

Madonna 656 quotes

We live in a very scary time. ...

We live in a very scary time. Or should I say we don't live at all.

Madonna 656 quotes

If I'm smart then I'll run away, but I'm not so I guess I'll stay

Madonna 656 quotes

Sometimes you just have to go ...

Sometimes you just have to go and make a mess of things to get people to pay attention.

Madonna 656 quotes

Catholicism is a really mean r...

Catholicism is a really mean religion, and it's incredibly hypocritical. But it plays a role in my life 'cause you can't really get a lot of things out of your head, such as what Jesus Christ looks like and that divorce is a horrible thing.

Madonna 656 quotes

That's what I mean about Catho...

That's what I mean about Catholicism - your sexual life is supposed to be dead if you're a good Catholic. That's wrong. It's human nature to be sexual, so why would God want you to deny your human nature?

Madonna 656 quotes

I do think of myself as a queen, but I don't think I'm the only queen. There's room for other queens. We reign over different kingdoms.

Madonna 656 quotes

I think everybody has a bisexu...

I think everybody has a bisexual nature. That's my theory. I could be wrong.

Madonna 656 quotes

I feel like I've survived so m...

I feel like I've survived so much, and been through so much. And sometimes I miss the innocence of those times. Life was different. New York was different. The music business was different. I miss the simplicity of it, the naivete of everyone around me.

I don't think about my old stuff. I just move forward.
