I always have a full-length mirror next to the camera when I'm doing publicity stills. That way, I know how I look.

Trying to build myself up with the fact that I have done things right that were even good and have had moments that were excellent but the bad is heavier to carry around and feel have no confidence.
Marilyn Monroe
Image
Never regret anything because at one time it was exactly what you wanted.
Marilyn Monroe
Image
Promises are worse than lies. You don't just make them believe, you also make them hope.
Marilyn Monroe

Marriage is the dark side of the honeymoon
Marilyn Monroe
Image
If fame goes by, so long, I've had you, fame. If it goes by, I've always known it was fickle. So at least it's something I experience, but that's not where I live.
Marilyn Monroe

I remember when I was in high school I didn't have a new dress for each special occasion. The girls would bring the fact to my attention, not always too delicately. The boys, however, never bothered with the subject. They were my friends, not because of the size of my wardrobe but because they liked me.

The studio people want me to do Good-bye Charlie for the movies, but I'm not going to do it. I don't like the idea of playing a man in a woman's body - you know? It just doesn't seem feminine.
Marilyn Monroe
Image
I've fallen in love with Brooklyn. I'm going to buy a little house in Brooklyn and live there. I'll go to the coast only when I have to make a picture.

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

The real lover is the man who can thrill you just by touching your head or smiling into your eyes - or just by staring into space.
Marilyn Monroe
Image
The truth can only be recalled, never invented.
Marilyn Monroe
Image
I don't forgive people because I'm weak, I forgive them because I am strong enough to know people make mistakes.
Marilyn Monroe
Image
I used to say to myself, 'What the devil have you got to be proud about, Marilyn Monroe?' And I'd answer, 'Everything, everything,' and I'd walk slowly and turn my head slowly as if I were a queen.
Marilyn Monroe
Image
You know, most people really don't know me.
Marilyn Monroe
Image
Fame doesn't fulfill you. It warms you a bit, but that warmth is temporary.
Marilyn Monroe
Image
Being a sex symbol is a heavy load to carry, especially when one is tired, hurt and bewildered.
Marilyn Monroe
Image
Men love you more if they can be made a little uncertain about owning you.
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
Image
Some of my foster families used to send me to the movies to get me out of the house and there I'd sit all day and way into the night. Up in front, there with the screen so big, a little kid all alone, and I loved it. I loved anything that moved up there and I didn't miss anything that happened and there was no popcorn either.

Don't you know that a man being rich is like a girl being pretty? You wouldn't marry a girl just because she's pretty, but my goodness, doesn't it help?
