I always thought I should be treated like a star.

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

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.

Hanging a noose on my door reeks of cowardice and fear on many, many levels.

I am a tip-top starlet. That is my job that I am paid to do.

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 fear the future I wish for my children is at risk, so I'm taking action. Please join me.
