I'm pretty, but not beautiful. I sin, but I'm not the devil. I'm good, but I'm not an angel.
Marilyn Monroe
Image
My illusions didn't have anything to do with being a fine actress. I knew how third rate I was. I could actually feel my lack of talent, as if it were cheap clothes I was wearing inside. But, my God, how I wanted to learn, to change, to improve!
Marilyn Monroe
Image
I've read all of Shakespeare and practiced a lot of lines. ... I am going to do Juliet first. Don't laugh. What, with what makeup, costume and camera can do, my acting will create a Juliet who is 14, an innocent virgin.

That's the way you feel when you're beaten inside. You don't feel angry at those who've beaten you. You just feel ashamed.
Marilyn Monroe
Image
I'm for the individual as opposed to the corporation. The way it is the individual is the underdog, and with all the things a corporation has going for them the individual comes out banged on her head. The artist is nothing. It's really tragic.

Image
Marriage destroyed my relationship with two wonderful men.
Marilyn Monroe
Image
There is a need for aloneness, which I don't think most people realise for an actor. It's almost having certain kinds of secrets for yourself that you'll let the whole world in on only for a moment, when you're acting. But everybody is always tugging at you. They'd all like sort of a chunk of you.
Marilyn Monroe
Image
My public is growing up just as I am. After all, I'm not 19 anymore and if I stick with the sex bit, who will be paying to see me when I'm 50?
Marilyn Monroe
Image
The fact is that I find more most men are more open, more generous, and much more stimulating than the majority of females I know.

Who does she think she is, Marilyn Monroe?
Marilyn Monroe
Image
I've never liked the name Marilyn. I've often wished that I had held out that day for Jean Monroe. But I guess it's too late to do anything about it now.
Marilyn Monroe
Image
A woman can bring a new love to each man she loves, providing there are not too many.
Marilyn Monroe
Image
The real lover is the man who can thrill you by kissing your forehead.
Marilyn Monroe
Image
The public doesn't mind people living together without being married, providing they don't overdo it.
Marilyn Monroe
Image
I am involved in a freedom ride protesting the loss of the minority rights belonging to the few remaining earthbound stars. All we demanded was our right to twinkle.
Marilyn Monroe
Image
If a man doesn't want you at your worst, then he sure as hell doesn't deserve you at your best.
Marilyn Monroe
Image
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.

You're the beautiful one. It's society that's ugly.
