More quotes by Marilyn Monroe

Marilyn Monroe
I believe that everything happens for a reason.
Marilyn Monroe

Marilyn Monroe
It stirs up envy, fame does.
Marilyn Monroe
My public is growing up just as I am. After all, I'm not 19 anymore and if I stick with the sex bit, who will be paying to see me when I'm 50?
Marilyn Monroe
Who does she think she is, Marilyn Monroe?
Marilyn Monroe
I sleep in the nude but I pull the sheets up.
Marilyn Monroe
We human beings are strange creatures and still reserve the right to think for ourselves.
Marilyn Monroe
If you spend your life competing with business men, what do you have? A bank account and ulcers!
Marilyn Monroe
Ever since I became a movie star,I've been really weird.
Marilyn Monroe
all girls are beautiful in their own way
