Image
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
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.
Marilyn Monroe
Image
The chief drawback with men is that they are too talkative.
Marilyn Monroe
Image
I've never liked the name Marilyn. I've often wished that I had held out that day for Jean Monroe. But I guess it's too late to do anything about it now.
Marilyn Monroe
Image
It's better for the whole world to know you, even as a sex star, than never to be known at all.
Marilyn Monroe
Image
It takes a smart brunette to play a dumb blonde.
Marilyn Monroe
Image
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
Image
The real lover is the man who can thrill you by kissing your forehead.
Marilyn Monroe
Image
To put it bluntly, I seem to have a whole superstructure with no foundation. But I'm working on the foundation.
Marilyn Monroe
Image
I love a natural look in pictures.
Marilyn Monroe
Image
The real lover is the man who can thrill you just by touching your head or smiling into your eyes - or just by staring into space.
Marilyn Monroe
Image
I'm trying to find myself as a person, sometimes that's not easy to do. Millions of people live their entire lives without finding themselves. But it is something I must do. The best way for me to find myself as a person is to prove to myself that I am an actress.
Marilyn Monroe
Image
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.
Marilyn Monroe
Image
A man makes you feel important - makes you glad you are a woman.
Marilyn Monroe
Image
But square-cut or pear-shaped, These rocks don't lose their shape. Diamonds are a girl's best friend.
Marilyn Monroe
Image
A man has a tendency to accept you the way you are, while most women immediately start to pick flaws and want to change you.
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.
Marilyn Monroe
Image
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.
Marilyn Monroe
Image
I was never used to being happy, so that wasn't something I ever took for granted.
Marilyn Monroe

Black men don't like to be called 'boys,' but women accept being called 'girls.'
