"Because I was a dancer, I started going to auditions for musical theater, which forced me to sing." — 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.
