The studio people want me to do Good-bye Charlie for the movies, but I'm not going to do it. I don't like the idea of playing a man in a woman's body - you know? It just doesn't seem feminine.

More quotes by 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
Do people ever get over being shy? I think it’s with you for life-like the color of your eyes.
Marilyn Monroe
I've read all of Shakespeare and practiced a lot of lines. ... I am going to do Juliet first. Don't laugh. What, with what makeup, costume and camera can do, my acting will create a Juliet who is 14, an innocent virgin.
Marilyn Monroe
I was never used to being happy, so that wasn't something I ever took for granted.
Marilyn Monroe
You might as well make yourself fly as to make yourself love.
Marilyn Monroe
One of the best things that ever happened to me is that I'm a woman. That is the way all females should feel.
Marilyn Monroe
I didn't mind being thought of as dumb. I knew I wasn't.
Marilyn Monroe
The truth can only be recalled, never invented.
Marilyn Monroe
If you spend your life competing with business men, what do you have? A bank account and ulcers!
Marilyn Monroe
I am involved in a freedom ride protesting the loss of the minority rights belonging to the few remaining earthbound stars. All we demanded was our right to twinkle.
Marilyn Monroe
Beneath the makeup and behind the smile I am just a girl who wishes for the world.
Marilyn Monroe
Don't you know that a man being rich is like a girl being pretty? You wouldn't marry a girl just because she's pretty, but my goodness, doesn't it help?
Marilyn Monroe
I think that when you are famous every weakness is exaggerated.
Marilyn Monroe
Sometimes I think it would be easier to avoid old age, to die young, but then you'd never complete your life, would you? You'd never wholly know you.
Marilyn Monroe
I could never pretend something I didn't feel. I could never make love if I didn't love, and if I loved I could no more hide the fact than change the color of my eyes.
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
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
There was my name up in lights. I said, 'God, somebody's made a mistake.' But there it was, in lights. And I sat there and said, 'Remember, you're not a star.' Yet there it was up in lights.
Marilyn Monroe
Sometimes I've been to a party where no one spoke to me for a whole evening. The men, frightened by their wives or sweeties, would give me a wide berth. And the ladies would gang up in a corner to discuss my dangerous character.
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
