Quote

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.

I'm one of the world's most self-conscious people. I really have to struggle.
Marilyn Monroe
Image
I'm going to be a great movie star some day.
Marilyn Monroe
Image
Just because you fail once, doesn't mean you're fail at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always trust yourself, because if you don't then who will??
Marilyn Monroe
Image
Wouldnt it be nice to be like men and get notches in your belt... and not get emotionally involved?

I enjoy acting when you really hit it right. And I guess I've always had too much fantasy to be only a housewife.

There is just no comparison between having a dinner date with a man and staying home playing canasta with the girls.
Marilyn Monroe
Image
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.

Love is something you cant invent, no matter how much you want to.
Marilyn Monroe

Sex is nature, and I believe in going along with nature.
Marilyn Monroe
Image
No sex is wrong, if there's love in it.

Fame is like caviar, you know - it's good to have caviar but not when you have it at every meal.
Marilyn Monroe
Image
...I've found out it's fun to go shopping. It's such a feminine thing to do.
Marilyn Monroe
Image
The thing I want more than anything else? I want to have children. I used to feel for every child I had, I would adopt another.
Marilyn Monroe
Image
If you don't love me at my worst, then you don't deserve me at my best.
Marilyn Monroe
Image
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.

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.

For those who are poor in happiness, each time is a first time happiness never becomes a habit.

When I was a youngster I lived with different families. I nearly always felt closer to the man of the house. Maybe because I always dreamed of having a father of my own.
