'I've always said that if you didn't know Madonna necessarily, you'd still be curious about the woman in the photograph.' [99] Herb Ritts

'Being able to work with Madonna... she's a legend in the music industry and she's so beautiful, so I couldn't ask for anything else.' [101] Verne Troyer

'I once had dinner with Madonna and I wasn't nervous but within about a minute I found myself talking about underwear.' [98] Randy Newman
