My mom and I have always been really close. She’s always been the friend that was always there.

The worst possible way a relationship can end is when somebody cheats on somebody else.

One element of Madonna's career that really takes center stage is how many times she's reinvented herself. It's easier to stay in one look, one comfort zone, one musical style. It's inspiring to see someone whose only predictable quality is being unpredictable.

I like touring extensively because I think the more hours you spend onstage, the more you know who you are onstage.

People don't take you seriously if you scream, if you raise your voice, especially when you're a 19-year-old girl.

When I was a little girl I used to read fairy tales. In fairy tales you meet Prince Charming and he's everything you ever wanted. In fairy tales the bad guy is very easy to spot. The bad guy is always wearing a black cape so you always know who he is. Then you grow up and you realize that Prince Charming is not as easy to find as you thought. You realize the bad guy is not wearing a black cape and he's not easy to spot; he's really funny, and he makes you laugh, and he has perfect hair.

I believe when it comes to love, there's something intangible about who we are attracted to, and I don't think I have a pattern.
