I was used to dancing, but only when someone told you what to do. So in the nightclub I was all over the place, I combined everything. Street dance, modern dance, a bit of jazz and ballet, I was Twyla Tharp, I was Alvin Ailey, I was Michael Jackson. I didn't care, I was free.

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 want the good life, but I don't want an easy ride. What I want is to work for it, feel the blood and sweat on my fingertips.

Set your goals high and go far. Don't put off tomorrow what you can do today.

One thing I've learned is that I'm not the owner of my talent; I'm the manager of it.

If we took a holiday, took some time to celebrate, just one day out of life, it would be, it would be so nice.

Love´s nothing else than a war in which both are the winners.
