Madonna Ciccone Giving Quotations

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

Fame can be very disruptive. It can be like a drug. It gives you the feeling that you're happy, it gives you the feeling of self-importance, it gives you the feeling of fullfilment; but it can distract you from what is really important.

Hand fits giving, so do it, that's what the Gospel said to me. Life fits living, so let your judgments go.

I'm disciplined. And I'm persevering. And I don't give up very easily... and I'm reliable.

I don't give a damn if I go to hell.

We're in the world of creating illusions and giving people the ability to dream and to be inspired or moved.

It's not enough to raise awareness. You have to give people solutions, and you have to invite them to get involved in whatever way they can, whether that's doing volunteer work or taking a portion of their salary and figuring out where they want that money to go. You have to find ways to inspire people to get involved.

I know where beauty lives, I've seen it once, I know the warmth she gives.

My work gives me a sense of purpose that I never really had before - it gives me a lot of joy, and it would be wonderful to invite other people to get involved.

I was never appalled by myself. I felt a little bit uneasy about certain things. But honestly I've learned to love myself and to see that in the midst of all my ambition and desire to succeed and my search for approval, I do give things to people. I bring some sort of happiness to their lives. So I'm not so hard on myself anymore.

That consciousness is everything and that all things begin with a thought. That we are responsible for our own fate, we reap what we sow, we get what we give, we pull in what we put out.

I don't give a damn if I go to hell. I love you Satan. The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

I didn't really give a sh** what's going on in the rest of the world. I just didn't. I just wanted to focus on me, me, me, my career, my life, just me - blinders.

I'd like to think I am taking people on a journey; I am not just entertaining people, but giving them something to think about when they leave.
