Madonna Ciccone

• "My pussy has nine lives."
  • (From her book "Sex".)

• "People who complain that they do not have what they want, it's because they are afraid to ask for what they want."

• "I wanna rule the world."
  • (When asked what she wanted to do, on "American Bandstand".)

• "Hey you! Don't be silly! Put a rubber on your willie!"
  • (Poem written for AIDS P.S.A.)

• "I'd like to fix her a big plate of spagetti."
  • (said about her by Tori Amos)

• "Is that a rug?"
  • (Said RE: David Letterman's toupee' in infamous television interview.)

• "So what?"
  • (In response to nude photos published early in career.)p

• "I don't trust any man who hasn't kissed another man."

• "You can use the cage
  I've got a lot of rope
  No, I'm not full of rage
  I'm full of hope
  This is not a crime
  and you're not on trial
  Bend over baby
  I'm gonna make you smile"
  • (From her poem "Erotica") (not the same as her song of same title)

• "The prettiest girl in the mirror is me
  but will I still be pretty when there's no one there to see?...
  me?
  I wish upon a lucky star to put a happy face on my pain
  Because it hurts so much to be so cold, and so alone
  in the rain."
  • (Spoof poem from comedienne Julie Brown's Madonna parody mockumentary "Medusa: Dare to be Truthful")

• "I have to give it up to Snoop Dogg, but move over rover."

• "The one thing we need to understand is that if you're going to French kiss another woman, it doesn't mean you're going to be an ingenue at 40. If you're 20, it doesn't mean you're going to get wisdom. You're going to get some cute lipgloss on and a yummy feeling inside, but there's a bit of a devouring going on. When someone French kisses another woman to try and get something, that isn't passion; it's very interesting to me, an intriguing study. If you're going to French kiss somebody, French kiss a woman that can say, 'Okay, honey; okay sister, come with me and I'll show you a tongue like you've never seen before'. If you're going to walk down that road, do it! A tongue does not touch the intelligence inside another person. you know, Madonna's sayed around for 20 years, but Britney is not going to get that, and Madonna isn't going to become 20 years younger. I did not see 'I honour you' in that kiss. But that's me; that's what I saw."
  • (Said by singer Tori Amos, re: Madonna's kiss with Britney Spears)
