It's not easy having a good marriage--but I don't want easy. Easy doesn't make you grow. Easy doesn't make you think. I thank God everyday that I am married to a man who makes me think. That's my definition of true love. (Madonna (entertainer))

Sometimes you want to go for a walk and you don't want to be watched. You just want to be anonymous and blend in. Especially when I travel, I feel that way, because I can't really go out and see a city the way other people can and I miss out on a lot. View quote
Madonna (entertainer)
I'm encouraging other people, whether they're professionals or not, to use their creativity to express themselves, to get a conversation going, to get the party started, really. View quote

In England especially, I've found that if you bring up King Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson at a dinner party or a social gathering, it's like throwing a Molotov cocktail into the room. View quote

I suppose I sometimes used to act like I wasn't a human being... Sometimes I look back at myself and remember things I used to say, or my hairstyle, and I cringe. View quote

Music was that area's only expression of self-assurance or escape. The music of the time was everything to almost everybody – listening and dancing to music, or aspiring to be this or that, was all people were interested in. All my family were studying music, and my girlfriends and I had all these pretend girl groups we used to be in after school – stuff like The Supremes... really silly. View quote

Because I've been marginalized as a female in a male-dominated world, and we're in a sexist industry or a sexist world, I've always had to push against something or resist against something...For me, it's always been hard from Day 1. View quote

If one wished to measure her stature, it was interesting to compare her work with the videos of Michael Jackson. His productions were virtuoso - they depended on his person - a product of his physical gifts, his speed, his agility, his voice, his astonishing looks, whereas Madonna had transcended her own limitations to create visualizations in sound equal to fine poems; one could measure their worth by the resonance they offered. Her best videos would prove richer on each viewing; one could not perhaps say as much about Michael Jackson. View quote

The critics have buried Madonna's career more times than she's changed her image. What they don't seem to get – and what her latest album, Music, makes clear – is that, thanks to an acute grasp of her own limitations, she is one of the greatest songwriter-producer-performers in recent history. (Madonna (entertainer))
No one has worked harder to be a gay icon than Madonna, and she has done so by using every possible taboo sexual in her videos, performances, and interviews. View quote
Madonna (entertainer)
She introduced the new paradigm that the Virgin Mary may have been spiritual and sexual. Whether or not the Madonna of modern times fully understood the implications does not matter; she was christened Madonna and she saw the gift in a song called "Like a Virgin". It represented the ressurection of Virgin Mary as a woman. We have long equated spirituality with a denial of the sexual being, but Madonna challenged this. View quote

I see the role of Vogue to reflect what's going on in the culture. The first celebrity that I put on the cover of Vogue was Madonna, and that was considered completely controversial at the time, too. It's such a long time ago probably no one remembers, but she was a very controversial figure. Now she's part of the establishment. View quote

it is no coincidence that pop divas often become gay icons. Madonna reinvented homosexuals as effectively Warhol. View quote
