I love to write honest songs that name real people, then get up onstage and live out those emotions in front of 15,000 people.

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.

Don't ever regret being honest. Period.

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

'Love Story' is actually about a guy that I almost dated. But when I introduced him to my family and my friends, they all said they didn't like him. All of them!

Real love still happens sometimes. It's not just something we make up when you're nine. I have to believe that. You do too.

Just because you make a good plan, doesn't mean that's what's gonna happen.
