Madonna Quotes and speeches | American singer-songwriter and actress. | Words Are God

1. No matter who you are, no matter what you did, no matter where you've come from, you can always change, become a better version of yourself.

2. Popularity comes and goes. You need to know who you are, what you stand for, and why you're here.

3. No one knows you better than you know yourself. Do the thing you want. Don't wait for someone else

4. You realise that having a number one record, and being loved and adored, isn't the most important thing in the world. But at the same time, I don't have a problem with it.

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

6. I stand for freedom of expression, doing what you believe in, and going after your dreams.

7. If you want something bad enough, the whole world conspires to help you get it.

8. I don't think anyone strives to be anything negative. I just think that it's our nature to only focus on a few things in life and forget about a lot of other stuff.

9. I want to be like Gandhi, and Martin Luther King, and John Lennon... but I want to stay alive.

10. There isn't a performer on earth that isn't an exhibitionist. There isn't any point in being in this business if you're not an exhibitionist. And, by the way, you can be an exhibitionist and be very shy as well.

11. Only the one that hurts you can make you feel better. Only the one that inflicts pain can take it away

12. One of the many things I learned from all of this: If you aren't willing to fight for what you believe in, then don't even enter the ring.
