Madonna Ciccone

I hate being called a pop star. I hate that.

I was more of a dancing kid than a singing kid. I mean, I sang in school choirs and I sang in school musicals, but I was much more interested in dancing than singing.

I have the same goal I've had ever since I was a girl: I want to rule the world.

I think my biggest flaw is my insecurity. I'm terribly insecure. I'm plagued with insecurities 24/7.

I wouldn't live in Chicago cause it's too conservative, aside for the fact that Oprah Winfrey lives there.

Everybody in our family studied a musical instrument. My father was really big on that. Somehow I only took a year or two of piano lessons and I convinced my father to let me take dancing lessons.
