More quotes by Marilyn Monroe
By nature, I suppose I have a languorous disposition
Marilyn Monroe
I'm one of the world's most self-conscious people. I really have to struggle.
Marilyn Monroe
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
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.
Marilyn Monroe
It's better for the whole world to know you, even as a sex star, than never to be known at all.
Marilyn Monroe
Just because you fail once, doesn't mean you're fail at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always trust yourself, because if you don't then who will??
Marilyn Monroe
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
I was never used to being happy, so that wasn't something I ever took for granted.
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
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
I have never been able to wear pajamas or creepy nightgowns they disturb my sleep.
Marilyn Monroe
The sky is not the limit. Your mind is
Marilyn Monroe
A career is a wonderful thing, but you can't snuggle up to it at night.
Marilyn Monroe
Yes, there was something special about me, and I knew what it was. I was the kind of girl they found dead in a hall bedroom with an empty bottle of sleeping pills in her hand.
Marilyn Monroe
If a man doesn't want you at your worst, then he sure as hell doesn't deserve you at your best.
Marilyn Monroe
It's nice to be included in people's fantasies but you also like to be accepted for your own sake.
Marilyn Monroe
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.
Marilyn Monroe
Squeezing yourself to ooze out the last ounce of sex allure is terribly hard. I'd like to do roles like Julie in Bury the Dead, Gretchen in Faust and Teresa in Cradle Song.
Marilyn Monroe
I am good, but not an angel.
Marilyn Monroe
