An actor is supposed to be a sensitive instrument. Isaac Stern takes good care of his violin. What if everybody jumped on his violin?
Marilyn Monroe
Image
I never wanted to be Marilyn - it just happened. Marilyn's like a veil I wear over Norma Jeane.

Image
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
Looking back, I guess I used to play-act all the time. For one thing, it meant I could live in a more interesting world than the one around me.

Image
It's nice to be included in people's fantasies but you also like to be accepted for your own sake.
Marilyn Monroe
Image
There is just no comparison between having a dinner date with a man and staying home playing canasta with the girls.
Marilyn Monroe
Image
I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.

In spite of everything life is not without hope.
Marilyn Monroe
Image
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.

I have always felt comfortable in blue jeans. I have found it interesting, however, that people also whistle at blue jeans. I have to admit that I like mine to fit. There's nothing I hate worse than baggy blue jeans.

A woman knows by intuition, or instinct, what is best for herself.
Marilyn Monroe
Image
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.

I like actors very much, but to marry one would be like marrying your brother. You look too much alike in the mirror.
Marilyn Monroe
Image
I used to think as I looked out on the Hollywood night, 'There must be thousands of girls sitting alone like me dreaming of being a movie star.' But I'm not going to worry about them. I'm dreaming the hardest.

Dogs never bite me. Just humans.

You must feel attractive to be attractive.

Image
I'm trying to find myself as a person, sometimes that's not easy to do. Millions of people live their entire lives without finding themselves. But it is something I must do. The best way for me to find myself as a person is to prove to myself that I am an actress.

I think that sexuality is only attractive when it's natural and spontaneous.
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.

If your man is a sports enthusiast, you may have to resign yourself to his spouting off in a monotone on a prize fight, football game or pennant race.
