Madonna Ciccone Way Quotations

I refuse to act the way someone expects me to.

If I can't be daring in my work or the way I live my life, then I don't really see the point of being on this planet.

The only way we know we love ourselves and the people in our life is by the agreements we are willing to make and keep

Just because I'm presented life in a certain way doesn't mean I do all these things. It's just something I choose to express.

I think they were scared of me because I was different. I've always asked, 'Why? Why do I have to do that? Why do I have to look this way? Why do I have to dress this way? Why do I have to behave this way?'

I wouldn't have turned out the way I was if I didn't have all those old-fashioned values to rebel against.

There isn't a performer on earth that isn't an exhibitionist. There isn't any point in being in this business if you're not an exhibitionist. And, by the way, you can be an exhibitionist and be very shy as well.

I have had many challenges in my life, including some very big ones when I was young and I've learned a lot of valuable lessons along the way. I have seen life from just about every angle you can see it from.

And I'll remember the love that you gave me, now that I am standing on my own, I'll remember the way that you changed me, I'll remember.

I think there are just as many assholes meeting the old-fashioned way as there are meeting in the new hookup culture.
