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 hate polite conversation. I hate it when people stand around and go, "Hi, how are you?" I hate words that don't have any reason or meaning. Also I hate it when people smoke in elevators and closed in places. It's just so rude.

Power without guilt, love without doubt.

I've read a couple of reviews that say I'm getting harder in my old age but I don't think that's true at all. I think that you can't help but become a little cynical about life and love but I'm still a romantic, I'm still an idealist.

It takes a Real man to fill my shoes.

Today I decided to sing in my underwear! No one seemed to mind! #loveyoufromtheinsideout. #artforfreedom

Part of the reason I sort of shot out like a cannon out of Michigan and left home at such an early age is because I had to feel independent.
