More quotes by Marilyn Monroe
The worst thing that happens to people when they dress up and go to a party is that they leave their real selves at home.
Marilyn Monroe
It's not true I had nothing on, I had the radio on.
Marilyn Monroe
I could never pretend something I didn't feel. I could never make love if I didn't love, and if I loved I could no more hide the fact than change the color of my eyes.
Marilyn Monroe
If you spend your life competing with business men, what do you have? A bank account and ulcers!
Marilyn Monroe
Sometimes I think it would be easier to avoid old age, to die young, but then you'd never complete your life, would you? You'd never wholly know you.
Marilyn Monroe
I live to succeed, not to please you or anyone else.
Marilyn Monroe
The first effect marriage had on me was to increase my lack of interest in sex.... Actually our marriage was a sort of friendship with sexual privileges.
Marilyn Monroe
I have evolved my own exercises, for the muscles I wish to keep firm, and I know they are right for me because I can feel them putting the proper muscles into play as I exercise.
Marilyn Monroe
People respect you because they feel you've survived hard times and endured, and although you've become famous, you haven't become phony.
Marilyn Monroe
We are all born sexual creatures,thank God, but it's a pity so many people despise and crush this natural gift.
Marilyn Monroe
In Hollywood a girl's virtue is much less important than her hairdo. You're judged by how you look, not by what you are. Hollywood's a place where they'll pay you a thousand dollars for kiss, and fifty cents for your soul. I know, because I turned down the first offer often enough and held out for the fifty.
Marilyn Monroe
By nature, I suppose I have a languorous disposition
Marilyn Monroe
Frankly, I've never considered my own figure so exceptional until quite recently, I seldom gave it any thought at all
Marilyn Monroe
When it comes down to it, I let them think what they want. If they care enough to bother with what I do, then I'm already better than them.
Marilyn Monroe
It's almost having certain kinds of secrets for yourself that you'll let the whole world in on only for a moment.
Marilyn Monroe
Experts on romance say for a happy marriage there has to be more than a passionate love. For a lasting union, they insist, there must be a genuine liking for each other. Which, in my book, is a good definition for friendship.
Marilyn Monroe
I don't think sun-tanned skin is any more attractive than white skin, or any healthier, for that matter
Marilyn Monroe
Sometimes I've been to a party where no one spoke to me for a whole evening. The men, frightened by their wives or sweeties, would give me a wide berth. And the ladies would gang up in a corner to discuss my dangerous character.
Marilyn Monroe
I don't stop when I'm tired. I only stop when I'm done.
Marilyn Monroe
I didn't mind being thought of as dumb. I knew I wasn't.
Marilyn Monroe
