At twelve I looked like a girl of seventeen. My body was developed and shapely. I still wore the blue dress and the blouse the orphanage provided. They made me look like an overgrown lummox.

More quotes by Marilyn Monroe
Do people ever get over being shy? I think it’s with you for life-like the color of your eyes.
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
...I've found out it's fun to go shopping. It's such a feminine thing to do.
Marilyn Monroe
I'm going to be a great movie star some day.
Marilyn Monroe
I hear you're looking for a sexy blonde to play with the Marx Brothers. Would you like to see me. I'm blonde and I'm sexy.
Marilyn Monroe
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
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
People respect you because they feel you've survived hard times and endured, and although you've become famous, you haven't become phony.
Marilyn Monroe
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.
Marilyn Monroe
I am trying to find myself. Sometimes that's not easy.
Marilyn Monroe
I think every human being knows how to hate. Because if they didn't know how to hate how to hate they wouldn't know how to love.
Marilyn Monroe
Never regret anything because at one time it was exactly what you wanted.
Marilyn Monroe
Experts on romance say for a happy marriage there has to be more than a passionate love. For a lasting union, they insist, there must be a genuine liking for each other. Which, in my book, is a good definition for friendship.
Marilyn Monroe
A girl does not need anyone who does not need her.
Marilyn Monroe
The worst thing that happens to people when they dress up and go to a party is that they leave their real selves at home.
Marilyn Monroe
Everybody is always tugging at you. They'd all like a sort of chunk out of you. I don' think they realize it, but it's like 'grrr do this, grr do that' But you do want to stay intact-intact and on two feet.
Marilyn Monroe
Fame doesn't fulfill you. It warms you a bit, but that warmth is temporary.
Marilyn Monroe
A kiss on the hand might feel very good, but a diamond tiara is forever.
Marilyn Monroe
They will only care when you're gone.
Marilyn Monroe
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.
