Avril, Kylie, Gwen, Tori and more girls

Today we add to our collection a few more quotes on Madonna by other artists.

“I have a lot of respect for her because she has longevity and she’s been around for so long and she’s always changed her style and been evolving and I think she’s a really strong woman and she’s always surprising people and I think she’s smart, a very smart business woman. I really like her. I’m not saying I’m a fan. I’m saying her, Madonna, what she has done, what she has accomplished, I look at that and I have a lot of respect for her.”

Avril Lavigne to the Toronto Sun – July 2004

“I don’t know her. I don’t believe what’s written about her because that’s just projection. When I see a person in front of me, I try and do what my Eastern Cherokee grandfather did; listen to what they’re not saying. Then you go from there… or you don’t. We’re both lionesses, but some lionesses work in the pride with other lionesses and some don’t.”

Tori Amos from Attitude magazine – October 2003

“I was at school when Madonna‘s first records came out, and to admit liking a pop idol such as Madonna was not something I did. It was not until later that I started to appreciate what an incredibly talented person she is, and has continued to be over the years. I suppose we do have a lot in common. We’ve had dinner together, she’s great. I like it in London – I get lots of attention and better tables in restaurants. Madonna says she says prefers her life in London because she feels more free. I know what she means.”
Gwen Stefani from the Sunday Mirror – May 2004

“I think Madonna is amazing. You hear people saying ‘Oh Madonna‘s a cow’. But any successful woman is a cow. Not really a cow, but when you’re a strong businessman you’re a good businessman and when you’re a successful woman you’re a bitch.”

Posh Spice Victoria Beckham from Pop Magazine – March 2004

“We both like to keep an eye on what’s happening – trends. She’s definitely the front-runner in this business, but I share her enthusiasm for being experimental – we’d be bored otherwise. And I’ve got a good commercial head on my shoulders.”
Kylie Minogue from Rolling Stone magazine – February 2004

“I’ve been compared to Madonna for years, but I see myself totally different from her. I admire her personality and how she ‘reinvents’ herself all the time”.
Paulina Rubio from Radio Y-100 – February 2004

“When you have Madonna [on Will and Grace], arguably the most famous star in the world on your show you’re very excited. She was great and a perfectionist. We rehearsed over and over again more so than anyone else or even with the cast. Usually we just get the script, do a run through and then we shoot it. I thought she was great. The funny thing is that she had no idea who were were. Any of the cast. Some people had a problem with it but i didn’t it. She had noooo idea who we were”.
