Marilyn Monroe

Marilyn Monroe
I love a natural look in pictures. I like people with a feeling one way or another - it shows an inner life. I like to see that there’s something going on inside them.
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
Always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don't, then who will, sweetie?
Marilyn Monroe
But square-cut or pear-shaped, These rocks don't lose their shape. Diamonds are a girl's best friend.
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 don't want to play sex roles any more. I'm tired of being known as the girl with the shape.
Marilyn Monroe
You know, most people really don't know me.
Marilyn Monroe
