It's nice to be included in people's fantasies but you also like to be accepted for your own sake.
Marilyn Monroe

Someone said to me, 'If fifty percent of the experts in Hollywood said you had no talent and should give up, what would you do?' My answer was then and still is, 'If a hundred percent told me that, all one hundred percent would be wrong.'

Arthur Miller wouldn't have married me if I had been nothing but a dumb blonde.
Marilyn Monroe

I live to succeed, not to please you or anyone else.
Marilyn Monroe

I often wake up in the night, and I like to have something to think about.
Marilyn Monroe
Image
When it comes down to it, I let them think what they want. If they care enough to bother with what I do, then I'm already better than them.
