There was my name up in lights. I said, 'God, somebody's made a mistake.' But there it was, in lights. And I sat there and said, 'Remember, you're not a star.' Yet there it was up in lights.

More quotes by Marilyn Monroe
You're the beautiful one. It's society that's ugly.
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 want to grow old without facelifts. I want to have the courage to be loyal to the face I have made.
Marilyn Monroe
I usually eat four or five raw carrots with my meat, and that is all. I must be part rabbit I never get bored with raw carrots
Marilyn Monroe
I always have a full-length mirror next to the camera when I'm doing publicity stills. That way, I know how I look.
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
For those who are poor in happiness, each time is a first time happiness never becomes a habit.
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 have always had a talent for irritating women since I was fourteen.
Marilyn Monroe
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.
Marilyn Monroe
Fame to me certainly is only a temporary and a partial happiness ... fame is not really for a daily diet, that's not what fulfills you. It warms you a bit but the warming is temporary. It's like caviar, you know - it's good to have caviar but not when you have to have it every meal and every day.
Marilyn Monroe
I think that when you are famous every weakness is exaggerated.
Marilyn Monroe
I have evolved my own exercises, for the muscles I wish to keep firm, and I know they are right for me because I can feel them putting the proper muscles into play as I exercise.
Marilyn Monroe
It's a terrible thing to be lonesome, especially in the middle of a crowd.
Marilyn Monroe
Always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don't, then who will, sweetie?
Marilyn Monroe
Sometimes I've been to a party where no one spoke to me for a whole evening. The men, frightened by their wives or sweeties, would give me a wide berth. And the ladies would gang up in a corner to discuss my dangerous character.
Marilyn Monroe
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
Suicide, is a persons privilege. I don't believe it's a sin or a crime it's your right if you do. Though it doesn't get you anywhere.
Marilyn Monroe
try to enjoy myself when I can - I'll be miserable enough as it is.
Marilyn Monroe
A sex-symbol becomes a thing, I just hate being a thing. But if I'm going to be a symbol of something I'd rather have it sex than some other things we've got symbols of.
