"I'm everything!" [3]

"To rule the world."
- When asked what she wanted to do, on "American Bandstand". [4]

"A lot of people are just really confused by me; they don’t know what to think of me, so they try to compartmentalize me or diminish me. Maybe they just feel unsafe. But any time you have an overtly emotional or irrational, negative reaction to something, you’re fearing something that it’s bringing up in you." [5]

"Life's too short to be bitter, I'm too short to be bitter." [6]

"beauty is where you find it." (Lyrics from Vogue)

"Absolutely no regrets." (Lyrics from Human Nature)

"Better to live one year as a tiger, then a hundred as sheep." [7]
"I love horses. I think I may have been one of Henry VIII’s knights in another life, riding through a great forest." [8]

"I was sacked from Dunkin' Donuts for squirting the donuts jelly all over the customers."
- About working in Dunkin' Donuts in New York before becoming famous. [9]

"I just like the idea of pills. I like to collect them but not actually take them. When I fell off my horse, I got tons of stuff: Demerol and Vicodin and Xanax and Valium and Oxycontin, which is supposed to be like heroin. And I'm quite scared to take them. I'm a control freak." [10]

"Poor is the man whose pleasures depend on the permission of another." (Lyrics from Justify My Love)

"Rejection is the greatest aphrodisiac." (Lyric from "Forbidden Love", Bedtime Stories)

"I'm tough, ambitious, and I know exactly what I want. If that makes me a ***CENSORED***, okay." [11]

"I wanted to be a boy when I was growing up because I was in love with all of the male dancer I know and they were all gay. And I thought, Well, if I was a boy, they'd love me. So I got into role-playing then. That's where it began. I remember when I was still in high school, I had cut my hair off really short, and I was totally anorexic - I had no boobs - and I would dress like a boy and go to gay clubs and my goal was to trick men into thinking I was a boy." [12]

"I have the most perfect belly button. When I stick my fingers in it, I feel a nerve in the center of my body shoot up my spine." [13]

"I liked my body growing up and I wasn't ashamed of it. I liked boys and didn't feel inhibited by them. Maybe it comes from having brothers and sharing a bathroom. The boys got the wrong impression of me at high school. They mistook forwardness for promiscuity. When they don't get what they want, they turn on you. I went through this period when all the girls thought I was loose and the boys said I was a nymphomaniac. The first boy I ever slept with was my boyfriend and we'd been going out a long time." Time magazine 27 May 1985

"I'm not interested in being Wonder Woman in the delivery room. Give me drugs." [14]

"She never had public favor; it was a bit like the Hillary Clinton thing. She did all the right things for her country, but she wasn't ultimately revered. So she had a conversation with her confidant-adviser. She asked him, when have they ever looked up to or idolized a woman? Only one, he told her, the Virgin Mary. So she said, Then I will become like the Virgin Mary, and she did. She created a facade for herself; she stopped having lovers; she became like a virgin. She became sexless, and painted her face in a white alabaster way, and turned herself into an icon that was untouchable and sexless, and then she had everybody's respect." About Queen of England, Elizabeth I in Aperture Magazine 1999

"Next time you want pussy, just look in the mirror, baby" (Lyric from "Waiting")

"Most priests are gay." (Said in I'm Going to Tell You a Secret)

"Come on girls! Do you believe in love? Cause I got something to say about it." (Lyric From Express Yourself).

"Phallic symbols. You know Catholics. I used to draw people naked all the time in my art class and my nun teachers used to tell me I had to put clothes on them. So I just drew lines around their bodies. See-through clothes." (When asked what she used to draw as a kid). [15]

"Fame is a by-product. Fame is something that should happen because you do work that speaks to people and people want to know about your work. Unfortunately the personality of people has taken over from the work and the artistry and it's this thing now that stands on its own. I don't think one should ever aspire to being famous." [16]

I have a cage
It's called the stage
When I'm let out
I run about
And sing and dance and sweat and yell
I have so many tales to tell
I like to push things to the edge
And inch my way along the ledge
I feel like God, I feel like shit
The paradox, an even split
It's just a job, I always say
I should be grateful everyday
Sometimes I think I just can't do it
But I persist and I get through it
And I console myself each night
At least my cage is filled with light.
- Short poem from I'm Going to Tell You a Secret

"I must have been Japanese in a previous life. I'm pretty sure I was a warrioress. I can't explain it, I just know. I'm good at fighting - fighting with a big sword." [17]

"This is a historical evening. This is ***CENSORED*** important evening... We are lucky to be sharing it with each other. This is the beginning of a whole new world. Open your ***CENSORED*** head!"
- Madonna Onstage in San Diego on election night, congratulated President-elect Barack Obama before a giant projected backdrop of an Obama campaign poster that read, “WE WON.” It ended with Madonna getting the crowd to chant “We are one!” [18]

"If we can elect an African American as president, we can support gay marriage! Defeat prop 8! We will not give up!" [19]

"One is that we are all responsible for our actions, our behavior, and our words, and we must take responsibility for everything we say and do. When you get your head wrapped around that, you can no longer think of life as a series of random events - you participate in life in a way you didn't previously. I am the architect of my destiny. I am in charge. I bring that to me, or I push that away. You can no longer blame other people for things that happened to you. The other is that there is order in the universe, even though it looks like chaos. We separate the world into categories: this is good and this is bad. But life is set up to trick us. It's a series of illusions we invest in. And ultimately those investments don't serve our understanding, because physicality is always going to let you down, because physicality doesn't last." (About Kabbalah) [20]
