All Quotes

Madonna and I worked very closely. I was more like the big sister to her.
‐‐ Maripol

Madonna can still produce a catchy pop song, but she hasn't expanded her artistic vocabulary since the 1990s. Her concerts are glitzy extravaganzas of special effects overkill. She leaves little space in them for emotional depth or unscripted rapport with the audience.
‐‐ Camille Paglia

Madonna had to break through; I knew she was going to make it big, because I could see how ambitious she was, in a very genuine and sweet way.
‐‐ Maripol

Madonna has total control over her life, and not many women have that.
‐‐ Monica Seles

Madonna is a creation, so perhaps we should give her and the factory that created her a little credit, but I think that she should quietly disappear now. Poor Madge seems unable to decide whether she wants to look like Marilyn Monroe or Marlene Dietrich.
‐‐ Barry Humphries

Madonna is a feminist and has been doing more for the cause than all the grumpy feminists, who are giving nothing back by being grumpy.
‐‐ Christian Louboutin

Madonna is a pro. I don't like her and have no respect for her but- I don't think she should be called a musician or a dancer or whatever you know, but I do have, well I do have respect for her ability to completely manipulate the media and have them work for her.
‐‐ Jon Fishman

Madonna is an athlete; she has to be treated like a professional athlete. She doesn't work out for six hours a day, though, like some of the press says. She never works out for more than two hours a day, and then only when she has the time.
‐‐ Tracy Anderson

Madonna is completely down-to-earth. She's an absolute professional.
‐‐ Natalie Dormer

Madonna is her own Hollywood studio - a popelike mogul and divine superstar in one. She has a laserlike instinct for publicity, aided by her visual genius for still photography (which none of her legion of imitators has). Unfortunately, her public life has dissolved into a series of staged photo ops.
‐‐ Camille Paglia

Madonna is that forbidden thing, the Nietzschean creative woman. Her preoccupation with a high level of work doesn't allow her to follow the usual script that powerful women are expected to follow - 'don't hate me for my success, don't hate me for my power.'
‐‐ Naomi Wolf

Madonna, Michael Jackson, Tina Turner, Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe - they were myths of greatness.
‐‐ Rita Ora

Madonna remains the most visible performer on the planet, as well as one of the wealthiest, but would anyone seriously say that artistic self-development is her primary motivating principle? She is too busy with Kabbalah, fashion merchandising, adoption melodramas, the gym, and ill-starred horseback riding to study art.
‐‐ Camille Paglia

Madonna's like a black widow spider. She tends to use people, then they shrivel up and disappear.
‐‐ Peter Hook

Madonna was so flamboyant in terms of her look, her style, her public pronouncements, her religious taboo-smashing.

Madrid excites me. They are one of the best teams in the world.
‐‐ Isco

Madrid is enjoyed most from the ground, exploring your way through its narrow streets that always lead to some intriguing park, market, tapas bar or street performer. Each night we'd leave our hotel to begin a new adventure in Madrid and nine out of 10 times, we'd walk through the Plaza Mayor.
‐‐ Emilio Estevez

Madrid is not as big as London, but it is true when you are coming from a big city like Madrid, nothing is going to surprise you, and I am very happy to move to a city like London. It is a big city, and you can do everything you want with the respect that the English people always have.
‐‐ Fernando Torres

Madrid is what I call home, but also the States.
‐‐ Penelope Cruz

'MaerskKendal' is a rarity with its British flag, the 'LONDON' home port painted on its bow, its two British chief officers, and its portrait of the queen in the mess room, apparently common courtesy on British ships, but a little alarming to me.
‐‐ Rose George

Mafia guys are all just insecure people who want their money. They're like little seven-year old kids when they don't get their way. I knew guys like that growing up in New Jersey.
‐‐ Ray Liotta

'Mafiosa' was written by Veronica Russo. It's her first time making a film, and I'm really proud of her because this woman has a full-time job, and she decided one day, 'You know, I want to write a film, and I want to make it.'
‐‐ Katrina Law

Magazine articles are the new books.
‐‐ Tina Brown

Magazine stories, the best ones anyway, are generally a combination of three elements: access, narrative, and disclosure.
‐‐ Graydon Carter

Magazines and advertising are flogging the idea that you have to keep changing things and get something new. I think that's balls - evil. But obviously that's your livelihood.
‐‐ Robin Day

Magazines and opinions of you and stuff like that, those will change, but your opinion of yourself does not have to based on what other people say. So I just learned that my inner voice has to be louder than their outside voice.
‐‐ Jennifer Love Hewitt

Magazines are about trust and partnership: We, the editors, will strive always to keep you engaged; you, the readers, are free to engage with us or to reject us.
‐‐ Stefano Tonchi

Magazines at some point become hostage to their own success.
‐‐ Graydon Carter

Magazines that depend on photography, and design, and long reads, and quality stuff, are going to do just fine despite the Internet and cable news.
‐‐ Jann Wenner

Maggie and I got married and then had to wait three years before we got to take our honeymoon because we were both working! Right before 'Chaplin' began, we got to go to Hawaii.
‐‐ Rob McClure

Maggie Smith is an amazing woman, and not as serious in real life.
‐‐ Allen Leech

Maggie went out of doors to wash the windows and father came out into the kitchen and said he did not know whether he would go down to the post office or not. And then I sprinkled some handkerchiefs to iron.

‐‐ David Copperfield

Magic becomes art when it has nothing to hide.

‐‐ David Copperfield

Magic frightens people almost as much as it intrigues them.
‐‐ Rachel Swirsky

Magic happens, see. It's just like on those bumper stickers, the ones that say, 'Miracles Happen', or 'Jesus Happens'. I never really took those too seriously. I mean, they're bumper stickers. Yeah, yeah, I know what you're thinking. Miracles? Right. Jesus? Maybe. But magic?
‐‐ Kathi Appelt

Magic has been around forever, and it's also been in trouble forever. I'm not suggesting that there was ever a time when the practice of magic was celebrated by those in power. Actually, such practices were routinely demonized by monarchs and organized religions precisely because magic is inherently democratic.
‐‐ David Liss

Magic has been something I've been really good at since I was really young. The ability has always come easy to me, I'm not sure why.

Magic in cinema is a bit like ventriloquism on the radio.
‐‐ Jeanine Basinger

Magic is a state of mind. It is often portrayed as very black and gothic, and that is because certain practitioners played that up for a sense of power and prestige. That is a disservice. Magic is very colorful. Of this, I am sure.
‐‐ Alan Moore

Magic is all about directing attention. If I didn't want you to look at my right hand then I don't look at it.

‐‐ Colin Farrell

Magic is believing in yourself, if you can do that, you can make anything happen.
‐‐ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Magic is crazy. He is that crazy wild guy on the basketball court that is very intense and very serious. He is the guy who lives and eats and breathes basketball. Magic is a guy who would stand for nothing but winning and really prepared himself as well as he prepared his team. Earvin is the complete opposite.
‐‐ Magic Johnson

Magic is, in its core, introverted and closed; it's the most closed community ever, and I want to change all that and make it more open. If we want things to change, we have to be more open-minded.
‐‐ Marco Tempest
