Quote of the Day
Filed under: Madonna > Quote of the Day
“I have moments where I feel incredibly invincible and know that I have the audience in my hand — I know that everything is absolutely perfect. And then I have panic attacks where I feel like everyone is breathing my air and I cannot live up to everybody’s expectations and I might just die on stage. I normally try to turn my back to the audience, take a deep breath and remind myself that it’s all temporary. I’m not worried about fucking up — I really have a panic attack that everyone else is breathing my air. It’s hard to describe. When you have panic attacks you cannot rationalise them. Obviously there’s enough oxygen for me but it never happens outdoors, it’s normally in indoor sports arenas that feel very close when suddenly I feel claustrophobic. It’s not a fear of performing."

ah
id fuck him……….if i were six
Mario stop stealing her air !
Just proves she's just as human as you and I - not superwoman.
Totally understandable.. I think she is very eloquent, and love that she can see to the depth of her anxiety.
hmm…..yeah i can see what she means but com'n lady.
It's called botox lung intoxication.
prolly just FEAR OF SUCKING
first!
third!
Being adored by paying fans makes life so stressful………are you kidding me?
1st breathe
you wanna see my sex face?
firsttttttttttttttt
pretty
I think everyone has moments like that.
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH MADONNA IS THE GREATEST PERFORMER EVEHHHHHHH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
she is dazed and confused
She sounds "human"
What? No tired, bitchy, lame-ass snarky remark? Having been to Madonna's last three tours, it's certainly no surprise to me that she sometimes feels like she's out of breath. The woman is beyond incredible. She hardly ever stops. Honestly, I don't know how she does it. I'm just glad she keeps doing it. Can't wait for the next tour, Maddie.
fecking LOOPER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like it in the ass, cause I'm amy the pig slut!
FIRST
She looks stunning with no makeup!
first!
poor dear
She looks so much better with those cheek implants or botox or whatever she ahd done…looks like her lips were filled too. She was looking pretty oldand gaunt for a while….good for her, she should get that space in between her two front teeth filled too. It will help her to look more healthy.
I'm glad Madonna now feels that she owns the air we breathe.
Re: Life sucks –
Actually, Madonna REALLY does ALWAYS go all out and put on one helluva show. She doesn't just stumble through things like a certain lame-ass loser leftover from the New Mickey Mouse club. And I can actually imagine that. . . at times. . . trying to constantly deliver so much to so many can be a trifle overwhelming. . .
you guys are morons, shes under preasure just like anyone else. she IS human! you all need to stop cuttin her down all the time. if you dont like her fine but you dont have to be assholes about it!
Holy Shit! She's normal
Dear Madge,
Try turning on the air conditioning during your performance (she does not allow venues to run the air). Other people ARE breathing your sweaty, stagnant air and it's disgusting. Nice cheekbone implants too.
xo
I can't wait to get that issue tomorrow !!!!
Madonna Rocks !!!!!
Re: Alana – SHE NEVER SAID SHE OWNED THE AIR DUMBASS! IT WAS AN ANAOLGY, SHES TRYING TO SAY SHE FEELS LIKE THERE IS NO AIR FOR HER TO BREATH. GOD YOU ARE STUPID DONT TAKE THINGS SO LITTERALLY
Oh… boo hoo, Madge! Take a couple ga-zillion dollars and buy yourself some freakin' AIR! Gimme a break you WANKER!
MAYBE THERE IS NO AIR BECAUSE MARIAH CAREY SHPOWED UP AT HER TOUR TO STEAL IDEAS SINCE MADONNA'S TOURS ARE WAY BETTER THAN ANYTHING MARIAH CAN COME UP WITH, AND THERE IS NO AIR BECAUSAE MARIAHS FAT ASS FARTED AND IT STUNK UP THE WHOLE VENUE
yes i have panic attacks when i see madonna's 50 yr old vajayjay on tv.
RE: over madge's drama says
IF YOU DONT LIKE THERE BEING NO A/C THEN DONT GO TO HER SHOW, LET SOMEONE WHO REALLY WANTS TO BE THERE HAVE YOUR SEAT ASSHOLE. I HAVE BEEN TO HER LAST 3 TOURS AND IT DOES NOT EVEN GET THAT HOT IN THE AUDIENCE, SHE DOES IT TO PROTECT HER VOICE. GOD SOME PEOPLE ARE SO RETARDED
maybe she shouldn't insist the venue turns the a/c off then…. everyone at her concert is havign the same experience feeling like their is no air! because there isn't!
Sounds about right. Bitch wouldn't share the air with the rest of us if she could help it.
and u know wut i say to that? Stop your fuckin whining you rich bitch!
AND FUCK WHY DO PEOPLE KEEP SAYING FIRST?!?!? ANNNOYYINGG!!!!!
Is that Tara Reid coming out of the vehicle behind her? No wonder she can't breathe! lol
Way too much botox.
I have three words for madonna "Get Over Yourself"
Have an audience in her hands? I've seen her concerts and everyone looks bored out of their minds, in fact she looks bored as well..she's boring and been doing the same stuff for how ever many years
Who is that behind her, and why don't they tan properly? Your eyes look ridiculous, biatch!
Glad to know that I am not the only one who has panic attacks like this
I feel the same way on airplanes and in small places. Like I can't "share air". It makes you feel crazy and scared.
Maybe if she didn't play run-down sweatboxes like the Forum in L.A. (where her last two tours went through), she wouldn't feel so out of breath. That place is the pits!
bitch behond her could use a tan…
What the hell is that orange thing coming out of the van behind her? A bleach blonde oompa loompa?!
her own comment was dazed n confused…
This is the third time Mrs. M has pissed me off today. Your air? Really, you are so fucking full of yourself, air is for EVERYONE! Second, on her "Interview" interview she said "[David] when I adopted him did not even know where he was on the map". The kid was probably too fucking worried about eating to care, in the whole scheme of things there are more important things than where you are geographically when you are more worried about surviving. Third, she said David would've died if it wasn't for her, please, the child had loving parents. YOU JUST TOOK HIM LIKE YOU WOULD A FUCKING GUCCI BAG. Learn how to BE HUMBLE!
I have suffered from panic attacks and I know exactly what she means. It sound very strange, but it does feel like all the air is being sucked away and that your are going to suffocate. Other times it feels like your heart is going to explode and you are drowning. It is a horrible thing to suffer from. I have been to two of her shows and it's true…she doesn't stop for a second. I can hardly make it from one end of the room to the other when I have had an attack….I can't believe she can continue on with an entire show. Especially the kind of show she puts on.
Honey it's the team of doctors who pinched your facc so hard that's why you can't breathe. Why'd ya do that to your face?
Re: Crowchick – TOTALLY! That is the only reason to post - the chick's GIANT SUN PROTECTOR RACCOON TAN!!!!
I think she should perform in some kind of glass box that could be engineered by some stellar… engineer. She is much too precious to breathe the same air as her minions. Instead of her turning her back to the audience she could ask the audience to turn their back. It's only the least we could do to accommodate this goddess, this living deity, this incarnation of some Kabbalah heroine. She should also continue to collaborate with small children like JT til she's 90 just to prove to us that she'll never grow up and keep singing about silly stuff like the universe conspiring her greatness. Run Daphne, run!
That's not necessarily totally out of the wind, they probably are breathing her air…
Dear M,
If would I ever suffer the extreme misfortune of being close enough to have you breath on me, I would be forced to cover my head with a plastic bag, to avoid breathing what you exhale. You disgust me! Just the thought of your granny breath makes me want to vomit.
*VOMIT*
how come she never complains when she's got that big fat mouth of hers stuffed with 2 or 3 black dicks - she seems to breath pretty good at those times! Like mother like daughter!
Nice botox old hag!
If she has a panic attack, thinking everyone is breathing her oxygen, THEN next time whe you go on tour, put the fucking air conditioner on. I went to see her 2 summers ago, (maybe three) in Atlantic City, and there was no air conditon on. It was like a burning sauna in the stadium. (Talkin about no oxygen) I had a fucking panic attack! I walked out, as did many other people. So Madonna, next time to prevent an anxiety attack, and not give others one, Put the fucking air conditioner on!!!!!
i have panic attacks to its the worst thing ever but she just need a good psychitrist
end of story
Being Madonna and all botox and plastic surgery isnt uncommon. Shes spent so many years on top…So I mean like any other aging woman she probably gets low confidence and self esteem issues and wants to look good maybe for her husband 10 years younger than her. You can say shes a hag, say shes lame..but the truth is shes slightly genious…and we are still talking about madonna today…so if you cant deal with her get over it because shes not going anywhere anytime soon….CONGRATS ON THE INDUCTION BEAUTIFUL!! much deserved!
Why doesn't she just bend over, drop her pants and give herself a B12 shot in the ass?
Why does everybody fawn over this she-man? She is ugly, concieted, and ridiculous with her "reinventions" and faux accent. I just dont get it.
Does she REALLY have panic attacks? They are very very horrible things, you genuinely think you are going to die or you are going mad. Half the stuff that comes out of Madonna's mouth is BULLSHIT. Like that story she's concocted about how she moved to New York to become a dancer. I don't believe that for a minute, she's way too ambitious to ever settle for just being a dancer! I think she is a master of SPIN and just makes things up to make herself sound better.
Although if she really does suffer from panic attacks I feel sorry for her, but I would like to ask her whether she called an ambulance when she had her first one, and what treatment she is getting to help stop them. A panic attack is not just feeling a bit stressed out. They are really awful and she shouldn't be bullshitting about them, lots of people are agoraphobic and lead very limited lives because of panic attacks.
PLUS nobody develops panic disorder at her age… it comes on in early adulthood.
She is so full of absolute SHIT! She is really annoying me now.
It's Madonna's air and we're all just lucky she lets us use it.
Madonna do us all a fucking favor and stay your old tired boring nasty pasty over the top self at home… that way you can yell at your poor husband all you want and breathe his air…go away you're a has-been
That quote was a whole lotta nothing that just dragged–this bitch needs to shut up and take Justin and Timbo (with his tired beats–you heard one you heard them all) with her.
NEWSFLASH GRANDMA: IT'S NOT YOUR AIR ANYMORE. IT'S FOR THE YOUTH NOW. PLEASE GO AWAY AND DIE BECAUSE YOU SMELL LIKE MOTH BALLS AND NO ONE IS INTERESTED IN YOUR SAGGY CROTCH
this happens to me, too! at movie theaters…
hmm… this must be what the new jordin sparks song is about…
ok so first she says "I cannot live up to everybody’s expectations and I might just die on stage"
but then she tries to say its NOT a fear of preforming, its a fear of not having enough oxygen
SHE'S FULL OF SHIT..she is very fearful of screwing up. thats why she said before that she has trouble living up to peoples expectations, and then she turns around in the SAME sentence and tries to say its from fear of not having enough oxygen,…madonna you old cow, try to say focused!!
As being a citizen that suffers from severe anxiety, I understand the true depths this woman must face in life and can totally understand what she is saying, unless you are suffering from this awful disease there is no way to rationalize what is actually happening
Does anyone know what style sunglasses she is wearing?
The same thing happens to me!! But not on stage… Love her
It's called PERI-MENOPAUSE when your hormones are fluctuating madly…can make you feel panicky and anxiety.
sounds like menopause .
Re: The Face-lifted Ray Milland…,— boringly repulsive in vision and content; a true sunset blvd. cunt who simply cannot acknowledge her age and uselessness, but she's still a (pubic) hair more substantial than Jenna Jamison trying to flog the dead ghost of the '50's into a money-making ad…( I know B. Page isn't dead, but Jamison looks like she is)
For fuck's sake, can't we get to a new sphere of interest after 50 fuckin' years of madonna's tired shtick? She's so desperate it's embarrassing.
jesus, she's almost unrecognizable there!
Must suck being an aging beauty queen and losing your marbles over it
She's a phoney. She's trying to sell a new product and she's going for the I'm-only-human angle. Seriously, this woman lives and breathes strategy - that's how she keeps going. God knows, it's not godlike talent. I speak as someone who thought she used to make decent pop records. But by keeping on trying after all these years, spreading her little ability very thin, she's become like Dracula, sucking energies away from younger people. These days she's like a robot with one programme: notice me, notice me. It's all about how hard her thighs are, how toned her arms are. How tough she is. What really gets me is people treating her like a saint because she's a woman in her 40s. Hello! It's not that old. Think of all the women out there who hold down a demanding day to day job, run a family, keep their man happy and look after themselves. For a lot of women on a scrap of Madonna's money, that's the norm.
SHE IS A FREAK!!
Well, one way to ease that stifling sense of airlessness is to TURN ON SOME AIR CONDITIONING during your concerts. Madonna won't allow air conditioning because it harms her voice, she says. And I'm talking about in her Miami and Ft. Lauderdale concerts, where it gets HOT and MUGGY. Screw the audience and the $350 they paid, or that we're breathing stagnant, bacteria-filled air…it's Madonna's vocal chords we're concerned with.
She's such an arrogant hag. "MY" air..like it belongs to her…please!
The girl in the background looks like she needs to give the tanning salon a break!
Other than her money who would want to be this hag? She has gone off her rocker and she looks like shit now. She actually looks older than she did before all the surgeries. This is sad
Sounds like, as with money and attention, Madonna Ciccone wants the AIR ALL to herself, as well.
"Everyone ELSE is breathing HER air??" Its EVERYONES AIR, and the one thing she CANNOT control or own! I really dislike that woman. With the fact that there is not a whole lot of money in America to go around, and she has a good bit of it, and uses it ALL for herself, is just sad. She has " I can change the world" kind of money and keeps it all to herself. Oprah is the same way. They should both be ashamed of themselves.
Even this woman's fear and anxiety is narcissistic. She hasspent every fucking minute of the last 30 years doing nothing but devote herself to the daily erection of her own ego, maybe this is why the people closest to her like her husband can't even stand to go to awards ceremonies with her and listen to her rationalize her own narcissitic bullshit. It says a lot when the person you share your life with can't even be in the same room with you. And then she actually is desperate and stupid enough to find a "spirituality" that reinforces her own bullshit by telling her that she is "special" and "everything happened as it was supposed to" and that "celebrities are celebrities" because they are special and its meant to be and you were chosen by god to be some great opinion leader. Ever notice how stars are attracted to religions that bulwark their own grandiosity? As if they were the chosen people. The problem with Madonna is that she has never been satisfied with what she is good at, which is APPEALING TO THE MASSES. The masses are stupid and wouldn't recognize art if it bit them in the ass, so appealing to them isn't enough for a pretentious snob like Madonna. No she has to stretch and try to make art which she does suckily because she is not smart enough, not sensitive enough and too grandiose to recognize much less make. And this is why, in the end, all she is is TRAGIC…
REMEMBER IN "TRUTH OR DARE" WHEN SHE CONFIDED TO HER DANCERS THAT SHE SOMETIMES THINKS PEOPLE ARE THINKING, "WHO DOES THIS BITCH THINK SHE IS TRYING TO PULL THIS OFF"…? EVEN PEOPLE WHO DON'T LIKE MADONNA HAVE TO ADMIT SHE IS INCREDIBLY HONEST AND HAS AMAZING STAYING POWER IN THE MOST BRUTAL INDUSTRY THERE IS! WE ALL GET THOSE FEELINGS…NO MATTER WHAT OUR JOB IS….ESPECIALLY IF IT INVOLVES CREATIVE ENDEAVORS THAT DEPEND ON OTHER PEOPLE LIKING OUR STUFF
Boy, are most of you a bunch of dumb fucks, or what? She never said it's HER air, idiots. She said that in a panic attack — which she later went on to say is a completely irrational state of mind it feels like people are breathing all her air as she can't breathe. Look, hate Madonna all you want, but when you go to such utterly ridiculous lengths to do so it only makes you look totally ridiculous. Get a fucking clue. I honestly had no idea that most of the world was so fucking dumb. Thanks, Perez, for enlightening me.
i love her, but i think she's full of it…is so out of things to say?
With all due respect Madonna…..it's called getting older and realizing the youth that gave you everything, is interested in their own upcoming star figures. It is their world now, and you are becoming a classic, not an inventor.
Bitch doesn't want to share the air with you peons, apparently.
Madonna is the best. Loves her!
MAdonna reigns!! She's the real deal. God bless her!!! EVERYONE IS SAYING HER ALBUM IS GREAT!!!!! Cant wait for Marhc 17 - release date of 4 Minutes.
What ev er.
maybe if she didnt insist on keeping the entire arena at 82 degrees (and thats before a single person has walked though the doors) she wouldnt feel like everyones breathing her air (yawn/rolling my eyes)
