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? Im constantly in conflict with things. And it is because of my past and my upbringing and the journey that Ive been on. – Madonna Ciccone
I have my work and my faith… If thats boring to some people, I cant tell you how much I dont care. – Madonna Ciccone
I get strength from my art – all the paintings I own are powerful. – Madonna Ciccone
In this business, my business, I get to meet all kinds of incredible people, fascinating people, glamorous people and sexy people and highly intellectual people. And you meet them and you go interesting, interesting, interesting. Theyre interesting, but not very many people stop you in your tracks. – Madonna Ciccone
From very early on in my childhood – four, five years old – I felt alien to the human race. I felt very comfortable with thinking I was from another planet, because I felt disconnected – I was very tall and skinny, and I didnt look like anybody else, I didnt even look like any member of my family. – Patti Smith
