"Every time I look at that girl on television, I admire her, not because she's a celebrity—I don't admire her celebreality—I admire her because she's a child of God and doesn't know it. I'm talkin' 'bout Britney Spears. It breaks my heart. Anna Nicole, it broke my heart. You know, I knew what she was doing, I didn't like what she was doing, but I know she's a child of God, and I see people all the time, who have so much that don't know they have, so much beauty, inner beauty, and so much going for them that they don't know they're goin', but the Devil will take everything from you if you don't know who you are in Christ."

"Her song is called "Gimme More" for a reason: because all you people want is more, more, more, more, more! Leave her alone! You're lucky she even performed for you bastards! Leave Britney alone! Please!"

"Yes, I've done Britney Spears, but don't blame me, okay? I make her up and she just takes everything off and does her own thing."

"Every day The sun comes up again A little hope begins"

"See the sunlight, we ain't stoppin' Keep on dancin' 'til the world ends If you feel it, let it happen Keep on dancin' 'til the world ends Keep on dancin' 'til the world ends Keep on dancin' 'til the world ends"

"I can't take it, take it, take no more Never felt like, felt like this before Come on, get me, get me on the floor DJ, what you, what you waiting for? Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh"

"If I said my heart was beating loud If we could escape the crowd somehow If I said I want your body now, would you hold it against me? 'Cause you feel like paradise, and I need a vacation tonight So, if I said I want your body now, would you hold it against me?"

"Someday I will understand In God's whole plan And what He's done to me Oh, but maybe Someday I will breathe And I'll finally see I'll see it all in my baby"

"Every time I try To fly, I fall. Without my wings, I feel so small."

"With a taste of your lips I'm on a ride You're toxic, I'm slipping under With a taste of a poison paradise I'm addicted to you Don't you know that you're toxic"

"Oops!...I did it again I played with your heart got lost in the game Oh baby baby I did this to you please forgive baby"

"Sometimes I run Sometimes I hide Sometimes I'm Scared Of You"

"My loneliness is killing me (and I) I must confess, I still Believe (still believe) When I'm not with you I lose my mind Give me a sign! Hit me Baby One More Time!"

"Saying 'no' is so heartbreaking."

"I'm so blessed with my baby. And I want the most normal life possible for him. And I'll manage, I will create that."

"There's always a way. Where there's a will there is a way. You have to believe."

"You have babies at home. And you have a life. And if you don't, you have to realize that we're people and that we just need privacy and we need our respect. And those are things that you have to have as a human being."

"There will be a "Oops 100." They'll be plenty more oopses. I'm not perfect. I'm human."

"Oh, I've wept. Yeah, I've definitely wept just with the world, you know, how judgmental they are. You know what, I know I'm a good mom."

"That driving incident, I did it with my dad. I'd sit on his lap and I drive. We're country."

"I think with anybody who's doing well in the public eye or whatever, there's always gonna be a shift because people don't wanna see somebody happy all the time. And they're gonna try to take shots at people."

"I'm very, very blessed. But my safety, my privacy, and my respect are three things that I feel like are trying to be taken away from me right now. As a mother I have to speak up and say something. I have to speak up."

"The only person I do worry about, that I want to be a good person for, I think is my responsibility, is my sister. I'm going to be cool for you, okay. I like, I need to, I like being by myself right now. I think it's good for me."

"I think honestly if you can wait until you're married I think you should definitely do that, because it's so much more sacred. That you don't go around sleeping with people. But I mean, I really thought I was going to be with him for the rest of my life, I did."

"Everyone now, they look back and they're like, "What happened to your sweet image that you used to be?" And I'm like, then when you came out you thought I was too provocative. It's like you can never win. No matter what you do, at the end of the day you can't please everybody, you know. I'm not here to please..."

"About shocking. You know I feel comfortable in my skin. I think it's an okay thing to express yourself."

"Honestly, I think we should just trust our president in every decision that he makes and we should just support that, you know, and, um, be faithful in what happens."

"I think I'm still clean living, you know? That's something, when I—I don't go home and have orgies or anything like that. I'm still the same person that I've always been. So…."

"I just want to say that um, I'm just really, really shocked at like how nice our world is because it's just so nice. Like oh my God! Like, the other day, like I was sitting there and I saw these magazines and they said I was pregnant, and like, it's so true. Like America, believe everything you read. Because, like, you're smart and I'm stupid. Like for real. Come on y'all."

"Carlson: Give me the chronology of the kiss. How did you decide to kiss Madonna? Spears: Well, actually, in rehearsals, it wasn't something that was like, "Y'know, This is what we're gonna do. Y'know." It was just kinda like we play around a little bit and, um, she said during—before the performance, "Let's just feel it out and see what happens." So I didn't know it was gonna be that long and everything, but it was cool."

"Sundance is weird. The movies are weird—you actually have to think about them when you watch them."

"I look back and think I'm a smart person! What the hell was I thinking?"

"Lee Friedlander: "[She] seemed very confident, a street-wise girl. She told me she was putting a band together but half the kids that age are doing that. She was a good professional model.""

"She's a dream pupil; She's very driven, listens to what you say and just wants to do it and improve. You can always get somewhere with someone like that. When I started teaching her she hadn't jumped at all and now she can jump a course of 1.05m. Jumping and hacking are her two favorite things."

"Tracy Anderson:"

"Alex Rodriguez"

"I think she glows, she's an amazing performer and her work inspires me. There will be no other Madonna." (From the book "Madonna talking" by Mick St. Michael)"

"Pipe bands greeted the Queen and the Queen mother when they visited us and a few people turned out. But everybody appeared to see this woman Madonna. She had them all in the palm of her hand."

"Dr. Peter van Ham: "NATO should follow the Madonna-curve, and not wait till its controversies escalate into public wrangles. The argument that tinkering on the edges will do since all challenges can be dealt with one at a time simply does not hold. To be successful, NATO needs a package-deal of painful compromises, where each member state has to give and take. This requires a comprehensive reform effort which only a new strategic concept offers. The quality of adapting to new tasks whilst staying true to one’s own principles is something which business analysts qualify as the Madonna-curve. This curve is named after the legendary pop-diva who reinvented herself each time her style and stardom went into inevitable decline, but whose audacity has lifted her up to ever higher levels of relevance and fame." ."

"Al Gore: "I appreciate and respect her as an artist and as a person." ."

"Nicolas Sarkozy: "The French like burgers, Madonna and Miami Vice." ."

"Jorge Medina, Cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church"

"Church of England:"

"Yuki Matsumoto: "Madonna inspires creativity and expressions beyond gender, religion, race, nationality, culture and all borders. "Madonna’s philosophy and originality always invigorates the world audience every time she produces a new album. Conventions and trends are challenged and redefined for the new values. "Madonna is in sync with nature and balances her lifestyle to achieve her best physical and mental conditions. Her ever innovative spirits are in tune with her respect of nature. Despite her celebrity and never ending professional activities, Madonna always says FAMILY FIRST. Love and respect for all those who are dear to her are the most important values in life.""

"Jamie King: "She's confident, sensual and strong, but I like to bring out her vulnerability as well.""

"Florence Foresti:"

"Dennis Rodman: Bad as I Wanna Be"

"Criss Angel: "Madonna is a tremendous example of someone who went to NY with couple of dollars in her pocket and an enormous dream to conquer the world. She did whatever she had to do until she hit the big time. I admired her commitment and determination. She clearly understood what her market wanted in a performer. She's a great example of someone who developed a unique style, look, and brand and then marketed herself as a total package, filling a void that everyone else bought in to and tried to copy. She's an innovative genius.""

"Sofia Boutella: "Amazing. It was really hard work, but it has helped me to know myself a little bit more, I really like Madonna because she is a tireless worker.""
