Matching Quote
"Despite popular opinion, there are no important parallels between Madonna and Monroe, who was a virtuoso
comedienne
but who was insecure, depressive, passive-aggressive, and infuriatingly obstructionist in her career habits. Madonna is manic, perfectionist, workaholic. Monroe abused alcohol and drugs, while Madonna shuns them. Monroe had a tentative, melting, dreamy solipsism; Madonna has Judy Holliday's wisecracking smart mouth and Joan Crawford's steel will and bossy, circusmaster managerial competence."
-Camille Paglia
