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
To all the girls that think you’re fat because you’re not a size zero, you’re the beautiful one, its society who’s ugly.
Marilyn Monroe
I could never pretend something I didn't feel. I could never make love if I didn't love, and if I loved I could no more hide the fact than change the color of my eyes.
Marilyn Monroe
I have always had a talent for irritating women since I was fourteen.
Marilyn Monroe
If a star or studio chief or any other great movie personages find themselves sitting among a lot of nobodies, they get frightened - as if somebody was trying to demote them.
Marilyn Monroe
Black men don't like to be called 'boys,' but women accept being called 'girls.'
Marilyn Monroe
If marriage were only bed, we could have made it.
Marilyn Monroe
I love a natural look in pictures. I like people with a feeling one way or another - it shows an inner life. I like to see that there’s something going on inside them.
Marilyn Monroe
I don't think sun-tanned skin is any more attractive than white skin, or any healthier, for that matter
Marilyn Monroe
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.
Marilyn Monroe
We human beings are strange creatures and still reserve the right to think for ourselves.
Marilyn Monroe
I'm personally opposed to a deep tan because I like to feel blond all over.
Marilyn Monroe
A kiss on the hand might feel very good, but a diamond tiara is forever.
Marilyn Monroe
Girdles and wire stays should have never been invented. No man wants to hug a padded bird cage.
Marilyn Monroe
I have too much imagination to be a housewife
Marilyn Monroe
My illusions didn't have anything to do with being a fine actress. I knew how third rate I was. I could actually feel my lack of talent, as if it were cheap clothes I was wearing inside. But, my God, how I wanted to learn, to change, to improve!
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
I often wake up in the night, and I like to have something to think about.
Marilyn Monroe
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.
Marilyn Monroe
What's the good of drawing in the next breath if all you do is let it out and draw in another?
Marilyn Monroe
They will only care when you're gone.
