Quote

If fame goes by, so long, I've had you, fame. If it goes by, I've always known it was fickle. So at least it's something I experience, but that's not where I live.

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 have always had a talent for irritating women since I was fourteen.
Marilyn Monroe
Image
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.

Maybe I’ll never be able to do what I hope to, but at least I have hope.

I always have a full-length mirror next to the camera when I'm doing publicity stills. That way, I know how I look.

That's the story of my life I always get the fuzzy end of the lollipop.

Fame has a special burden, which I might as well state here and now. I don't mind being burdened with being glamorous and sexual. But what goes with it can be a burden
