If you're gonna be two-faced at least make one of them pretty.
Marilyn Monroe
Image
That's the way you feel when you're beaten inside. You don't feel angry at those who've beaten you. You just feel ashamed.

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
I think that when you are famous every weakness is exaggerated.
Marilyn Monroe
Image
The one thing a person wants in life is usually something basic that money can't buy.
Marilyn Monroe
Image
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
Image
I think to love bravely is the best and accept - as much as one can bear.
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
Frankly, I've never considered my own figure so exceptional until quite recently, I seldom gave it any thought at all
Marilyn Monroe
Image
Hollywood is a place where they'll pay you a thousand dollars for a kiss and fifty cents for your soul.
Marilyn Monroe
Image
The outside world wants me to have glamour my fans want me glamorous. I won't let them down.
Marilyn Monroe
Image
You've got a way with words. You got me smiling even when it hurts. There's no way to measure what your love is worth, I can't believe the way you get through to me. ~ Shania Twain If you can make a girl laugh, you can make her do anything
