Looking back, I guess I used to play-act all the time. For one thing, it meant I could live in a more interesting world than the one around me.

More quotes by Marilyn Monroe
Arthur Miller wouldn't have married me if I had been nothing but a dumb blonde.
Marilyn Monroe
I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.
Marilyn Monroe
A strong man doesn't have to be dominant toward a woman. He doesn't match his strength against a woman weak with love for him. He matches it against the world.
Marilyn Monroe
Do not worry, and worry.
Marilyn Monroe
There is just no comparison between having a dinner date with a man and staying home playing canasta with the girls.
Marilyn Monroe
I'm going to be a great movie star some day.
Marilyn Monroe
I always felt I was a nobody, and the only way for me to be somebody was to be - well, somebody else. Which is probably why I wanted to act.
Marilyn Monroe
I'm for the individual as opposed to the corporation. The way it is the individual is the underdog, and with all the things a corporation has going for them the individual comes out banged on her head. The artist is nothing. It's really tragic.
Marilyn Monroe
...I've found out it's fun to go shopping. It's such a feminine thing to do.
Marilyn Monroe
I would have told her then she was the only thing that I could love in this dying world but the simple word love itself already died and went away.
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
Speaking of Oscars, I would win overwhelmingly if the Academy gave an Oscar for faking orgasms. I have done some of my best acting convincing my partners I was in the throes of ecstasy.
Marilyn Monroe
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.
Marilyn Monroe
The 'public' scares me, but people I trust.
Marilyn Monroe
I've always felt toward the slightest scene, even if all I had to do in a scene was just to come in and say, 'Hi,' that the people ought to get their money's worth and that this is an obligation of mine, to give them the best you can get from me.
Marilyn Monroe
For those who are poor in happiness, each time is a first time happiness never becomes a habit.
Marilyn Monroe
President Kennedy is very democratic and very penetrating.
Marilyn Monroe
Always remember to smile and look up at what you got in life.
Marilyn Monroe
I like to feel blonde all over.
Marilyn Monroe
I have evolved my own exercises, for the muscles I wish to keep firm, and I know they are right for me because I can feel them putting the proper muscles into play as I exercise.
Marilyn Monroe
