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
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
Never regret anything because at one time it was exactly what you wanted.
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
I am trying to find myself. Sometimes that's not easy.
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
Maybe I’ll never be able to do what I hope to, but at least I have hope.
Marilyn Monroe
It's better to be angry without paying for gold than to be angry after you paid.
Marilyn Monroe
I won't be satisfied until people want to hear me sing without looking at me. Of course, that doesn't mean I want them to stop looking.
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
Arthur Miller wouldn't have married me if I had been nothing but a dumb blonde.
Marilyn Monroe
I never wanted to be Marilyn - it just happened. Marilyn's like a veil I wear over Norma Jeane.
Marilyn Monroe
I often wake up in the night, and I like to have something to think about.
Marilyn Monroe
One of the best things that ever happened to me is that I'm a woman. That is the way all females should feel.
Marilyn Monroe
Happiness never becomes a habit.
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
All my stepchildren carried the burden of my fame. Sometimes they would read terrible things about me, and I'd worry about whether it would hurt them. I would tell them: 'Don't hide these things from me. I'd rather you ask me these things straight out, and I'll answer all your questions.'
Marilyn Monroe
I don't stop when I'm tired. I only stop when I'm done.
Marilyn Monroe
It's almost having certain kinds of secrets for yourself that you'll let the whole world in on only for a moment.
Marilyn Monroe
Some of my foster families used to send me to the movies to get me out of the house and there I'd sit all day and way into the night. Up in front, there with the screen so big, a little kid all alone, and I loved it. I loved anything that moved up there and I didn't miss anything that happened and there was no popcorn either.
Marilyn Monroe
Creativity has got to start with humanity.
