On the one hand, the idea of marriage and the sort of traditional family life repulses me. But on the other hand, I long for it, you know what I mean? I'm constantly in conflict with things. And it is because of my past and my upbringing and the journey that I've been on.
I can't even think of the words of what I'm feeling. This man [Prince] was my everything, we had a family. I am beyond deeply saddened and devastated.
I think the biggest reason I was able to express myself and not be intimidated was by not having a mother. For example, mothers teach you manners. And I absolutely did not learn any of those rules and regulations.
But I love the idea - whether it's in my work or where I live - exploring new frontier, and I like putting myself in strange places and trying to survive and figure things out and gather up an infrastructure. I like knowing that I could figure out a way to live anywhere.
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 sometimes think I was born to live up to my name. How could I be anything else but what I am having been named Madonna? I would either have ended up a nun or this.
I loved Prince then, I love him now and will love him eternally. He's with our son now.
I get strength from my art - all the paintings I own are powerful.
I always thought I should be treated like a star.
I have the same goal I've had ever since I was a girl: I want to rule the world.
I have my work and my faith... If that's boring to some people, I can't tell you how much I don't care.
I do some of my best stand-up comedy during sound checks.
Catholicism is not a soothing religion. It's a painful religion. We're all gluttons for punishment.
If I was a girl again, I would like to be like my fans, I would like to be like Madonna.
