Quotes From Madonna:
"If you take everything I do at face value, you're going to be horrified. Or intimidated. Or insulted. Or bored."
"TV is trash. I was raised without it, I didn't miss anything. TV is poison. No one even talks about it around here. We don't have magazines or newspapers in the house either."
"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."
"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I think that everyone should get married at least once, so you can see what a silly, outdated institution it is."
"A lot of people are afraid to say what they want. That's why they don't get what they want."
