More quotes by 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
Personally, I react to Marlon Brando. He's a favorite of mine.
Marilyn Monroe
What good am I? I can't have kids. I can't cook. I've been divorced three times. Who would want me?
Marilyn Monroe
Maybe I’ll never be able to do what I hope to, but at least I have hope.
Marilyn Monroe
If I play a stupid girl and ask a stupid question, I've got to follow it through. What am I supposed to do, look intelligent?
Marilyn Monroe
I'm trying to find myself. Sometimes it's not that easy.
Marilyn Monroe
No girl should ever forget that she doesn't need anyone who doesn't need her.
Marilyn Monroe
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
I always felt I was a nobody, and the only way for me to be somebody was to be - well, somebody else. Which is probably why I wanted to act.
Marilyn Monroe
I've always felt toward the slightest scene, even if all I had to do in a scene was just to come in and say, 'Hi,' that the people ought to get their money's worth and that this is an obligation of mine, to give them the best you can get from me.
Marilyn Monroe
A kiss on the hand might feel very good, but a diamond tiara is forever.
Marilyn Monroe
Who does she think she is, Marilyn Monroe?
Marilyn Monroe
The happiest time of my life is now.
Marilyn Monroe
I had to use my wits or else I'd have been sunk - and nothings going to sink me. Everyone was always pulling at me, tugging at me, as if they wanted a piece of me. It was always, 'do this, do that,' and not just on the job but off, too. God, I've tried to stay intact, whole.
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
It's better to be unhappy alone than unhappy with someone - so far.
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
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
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
The sky is not the limit. Your mind is
