W O R D S - A Madonna Site





Much has been said about this wonder-woman, and I could go on for hours... but I won't. I'll let her words speak for me. Madonna's words and music have helped me to see the world in a better light... to stand up for myself... to express myself... to be open-minded to the world around me... to experience life for what it is. Without any further adieu, here are quotes by the one & only Madonna.

"When I'm hungry, I eat. When I'm thristy, I drink. And when I want to say something, I say it."

"There's no greater power, than the power of good-bye." (Power of GB)

"I can't stop thinking of you, the things we used to do, the secrets we once shared, I'll always find them there, in my memories." (Inside of Me)

"Who needs a smile, when a tear's so full of love? Who needs the light, with the darkness in your eyes?" (Sanctuary)

"I know how to laugh but I don't know happiness. And I must confess, instead of spring, it's always winter." (Love Tried to Welcome Me)

"Without the heart, there can be no understanding between the hand and the mind."

"You hit so hard with the things that you say." (Oh Father)

"Happiness lies in your own hand." (Secret)

"I'm not your b!tch, don't hang your sh!t on me." (Human Nature)

"Your actions speak louder than words, and they're only words unless they're true." (Words)

"It's funny the way... you can get used to the tears and the pain..." (Oh Father)

"As much as people complain and criticize me, I've touched a nerve with them somehow."

"To me the definition of being an opportunist is someone who seizes the moment and gets the most out of what they can, and certainly never having the intent of hurting anyone."

"Power is a great aphrodisiac, and I'm a very powerful person."

"Time to go visit the midget." (referring to Prince)

"I still have my sanity. I'm willing to sacrifice my private life if it will change people's point of view about life and the phobias they have."

"I am positive about life and promote the ideas of happiness and honesty. I know that a lot of people look up to me and copy me, so I'd certainly hate to be doing anything that might be harmful to anyone."

"I'm not a child and all the things I do may not neccessarily be for a child's consumption."

"When you're independent, when you do your own thing, when you're your own person, you do whatever you want to do, when you pull away and you're not so concerned with impressing, then the other person is very impressed."

Interviewer: "What shocks you?"
Madonna: "Ignorance shocks me."

"TV is mezmerizing, you know? It's very powerful, television - very, very powerful - and it's kind of scary to me. I probably could get very addicted to TV."

"I ignored the critics because I knew deep down in my heart that I was good and... I always will meet up with a certain amount of controversy, a certain amount of opposition to what I'm doing."

"I’m normal height. I have a normal figure. I don't sing any better than other people. In fact, there isn’t anything on the outside of me that is in any way abnormal. I think it’s what’s underneath, on the inside, that’s not normal.”

“Acting is just another kind of performing. It’s just an expression, it’s just being honest with your audience. So to me it’s just an extention of what I already do.”

“I am my own painting. I am my own experiment. So, I am my own work of art.”

"To me a script is a skeleton that I have liked enough to hang my skin on. "

“When the rumors surfaced that I was HIV+, I thought, 'Well, someone’s really bored today, there must be a lull in current events. Let’s make up a really juicy story.' I’m not HIV+... but what if I were? I would be more afraid of the way society would treat me for having the disease that the actual disease itself. If this is what I have to deal with for my involvement in fighting this epidemic, then so be it. I am not afraid to be associated with people who are HIV+, and I am not afraid to love people who are HIV+, because their ordeal is more important than mine.”

“It would be nice if everybody could listen to my music and watch my movies and read my books without anyone telling them how they should think, feel, or accept it, or not accept it.”

“I get my strength from my art - all the paintings I own are powerful. As an artist myself, I know what it’s like to put your heart and soul into something. You can feel the presence of another person.”

“I wouldn’t have turned out the way I am if I didn’t have all those old-fashioned values to rebel against.”

“I like to have control over most of the things, but I’m not a tyrant. I don’t have to have it say on my album that it’s written, arranged, produced, directed and stars Madonna. To me, to have total control means you can lose objectivity.”

“When I read the script to Desperately Seeking Susan, I felt immediately that I could play the part. Susan is the quintessential femme fatale. Everyone wants to know her, everyone wants to be like her. She has no roots, she represents freedom and adventure and all the things that normal people think they can’t do.”

“I went to New York, I had a dream. I wanted to be a big star, I didn’t know anybody. I wanted to dance, I wanted to sing, I wanted to do all those things, I wanted to make people happy, I wanted to be famous, I wanted everybody to love me, I wanted to be a star. I worked really hard and my dream came true.”

“I think, ultimately, drugs destroy you. They take away your natural ability to be creative or love yourself, deal with people, communicate, whatever.”

“I don’t think I’d like it if everyone was walking around naked all the time. I like clothes. But I think everybody should run naked through the street at least once. Or be naked when you’re not supposed to be naked. It’s very liberating.”

“I think all entertainers are exhibitionists, admitted or not.”

“The ultimate thing behind the song is that if you don’t express yourself, if you don’t say what you want, then you’re not going to get it. and in effect, you are chained down by your inability to say what you feel or go after what you want.” on Express Yourself

“If someone becomes hugely successful the public becomes disgusted with them and begins to wish the star would slip on a banana peel.”

"Rejection is the greatest aphrodisiac." - Forbidden Love

Here are a few from Brett:
"I'm being punished," she tells me calmly when we meet the next day. "I'm being punished for being a single female, for having power and being rich and saying the things I say, being a sexual creature -- actually, not being any different from anyone else, but just talking about it. If I were a man, I wouldn't have had any of these problems." from An Interview with Madonna

"Now that I got everyone's attention what do I have to say?" - Behind The Music on VH1

"I was dealing with images of light on this album, and this song expressed what I'd really like to be in this world. Even though we're all just a small part of the big picture, we can make a difference." - BMG Music Catalog

"Nobody talks about Prince's sex life, and all the women he's slept with. Nobody talks about any of their sex lives. You have to be intelligent about that and say, `OK, what's being said here?' I'm being punished for having a sex life. For enjoying it and for saying that I enjoy it. I really think it's that simple." from An Interview with Madonna
