More quotes by Marilyn Monroe
My illusions didn't have anything to do with being a fine actress. I knew how third rate I was. I could actually feel my lack of talent, as if it were cheap clothes I was wearing inside. But, my God, how I wanted to learn, to change, to improve!
Marilyn Monroe
I have never been able to wear pajamas or creepy nightgowns they disturb my sleep.
Marilyn Monroe
Of course, it does depend on the people, but sometimes I'm invited places to kind of brighten up a dinner table like a musician who'll play the piano after dinner, and I know you're not really invited for yourself. You're just an ornament.
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
Happiness never becomes a habit.
Marilyn Monroe
Confidentially, the type of male I find most enjoyable for a friend is one who has enough fire and assurance to speak up for his convictions.
Marilyn Monroe
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.
Marilyn Monroe
An actress is not a machine, but they treat you like a machine. A money machine.
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 had to use my wits or else I'd have been sunk - and nothings going to sink me. Everyone was always pulling at me, tugging at me, as if they wanted a piece of me. It was always, 'do this, do that,' and not just on the job but off, too. God, I've tried to stay intact, whole.
Marilyn Monroe
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
If a man doesn't want you at your worst, then he sure as hell doesn't deserve you at your best.
Marilyn Monroe
It's nice to be included in people's fantasies but you also like to be accepted for your own sake.
Marilyn Monroe
You know, most people really don't know me.
Marilyn Monroe
In spite of everything life is not without hope.
Marilyn Monroe
It's better for the whole world to know you, even as a sex star, than never to be known at all.
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
The one thing a person wants in life is usually something basic that money can't buy.
Marilyn Monroe
A career is a wonderful thing, but you can't snuggle up to it at night.
Marilyn Monroe
a struggle with shyness is in every actor more than anyone can imagine.
