More quotes by 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
If I play a stupid girl and ask a stupid question, I've got to follow it through. What am I supposed to do, look intelligent?
Marilyn Monroe
The only thing a star asks is to be allowed to twinkle.
Marilyn Monroe
I'm sin, but I'm not the devil.
Marilyn Monroe
I am good, but not an angel. I do sin, but I am not the devil. I am pretty, but not beautiful. I have friends, but I am not the peacemaker.
Marilyn Monroe
Everybody is always tugging at you. They'd all like a sort of chunk out of you. I don' think they realize it, but it's like 'grrr do this, grr do that' But you do want to stay intact-intact and on two feet.
Marilyn Monroe
I have never been able to wear pajamas or creepy nightgowns they disturb my sleep.
Marilyn Monroe

Marilyn Monroe

Marilyn Monroe

Marilyn Monroe
Hollywood is a place where they'll pay you a thousand dollars for a kiss and fifty cents for your soul.
Marilyn Monroe
Marriage destroyed my relationship with two wonderful men.
Marilyn Monroe
I don't want to make money, I just want to be wonderful.
Marilyn Monroe
Fame has a special burden, which I might as well state here and now. I don't mind being burdened with being glamorous and sexual. But what goes with it can be a burden
Marilyn Monroe
For a long time I was scared I'd find out I was like my mother.
Marilyn Monroe
A career is a wonderful thing, but you can't snuggle up to it at night.
Marilyn Monroe
Being a movie star was never as much fun as dreaming of being one.
Marilyn Monroe
The body is meant to be seen, not all covered up.
Marilyn Monroe
