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.

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
I don't stop when I'm tired. I only stop when I'm done.
Marilyn Monroe
Consider the fellow. He never spends his time telling you about his previous night's date. You get the idea he has eyes only for you and wouldn't think of looking at another woman.
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
Wouldnt it be nice to be like men and get notches in your belt... and not get emotionally involved?
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
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
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
When you have only a single dream it is more than likely to come true - because you keep working toward it without getting mixed up.
Marilyn Monroe
The more I think of it, the more I realize there are no answers. Life is to be lived.
Marilyn Monroe
A smart girl leaves before she is left.
Marilyn Monroe
The public doesn't mind people living together without being married, providing they don't overdo it.
Marilyn Monroe
A career is a wonderful thing, but you can't snuggle up to it at night.
Marilyn Monroe
In Hollywood a girl's virtue is much less important than her hairdo. You're judged by how you look, not by what you are. Hollywood's a place where they'll pay you a thousand dollars for kiss, and fifty cents for your soul. I know, because I turned down the first offer often enough and held out for the fifty.
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
I have too many fantasies to be a housewife. I guess I am a fantasy.
Marilyn Monroe
The one thing a person wants in life is usually something basic that money can't buy.
Marilyn Monroe
try to enjoy myself when I can - I'll be miserable enough as it is.
Marilyn Monroe
...I've found out it's fun to go shopping. It's such a feminine thing to do.
Marilyn Monroe
I want to grow old without facelifts. I want to have the courage to be loyal to the face I have made.
