Madonna also revealed that she often takes her freedom for granted.
“We take many things for granted. Including me. The freedom to travel the world. To wear what I want to wear. To ride a horse in the desert. To speak freely and be silenced by punishment, torture and possibly death. To sing. To dance. To choose my own spiritual path, not someone else’s. Iranian women do not have this freedom. I stand with them. The Iranian people have not known freedom for centuries. I cannot claim to truly know the suffering, but my thoughts and prayers are with them. The people of Iran.”
