More quotes by Marilyn Monroe
I want to be an artist, not an erotic freak. I don’t want to be sold to the public as a celluloid aphrodisiac.
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
I have never been able to wear pajamas or creepy nightgowns they disturb my sleep.
Marilyn Monroe
I'm trying to find myself. Sometimes it's not that easy.
Marilyn Monroe
If there is only one thing in my life that I am proud of, it's that I've never been a kept woman.
Marilyn Monroe
I'm one of the world's most self-conscious people. I really have to struggle.
Marilyn Monroe
You must feel attractive to be attractive.
Marilyn Monroe
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.
Marilyn Monroe
It's not true I had nothing on, I had the radio on.
Marilyn Monroe
I enjoy acting when you really hit it right. And I guess I've always had too much fantasy to be only a housewife.
Marilyn Monroe
Fame to me certainly is only a temporary and a partial happiness ... fame is not really for a daily diet, that's not what fulfills you. It warms you a bit but the warming is temporary. It's like caviar, you know - it's good to have caviar but not when you have to have it every meal and every day.
Marilyn Monroe
I have always had a talent for irritating women since I was fourteen.
Marilyn Monroe
An actor is supposed to be a sensitive instrument.
Marilyn Monroe
The outside world wants me to have glamour my fans want me glamorous. I won't let them down.
Marilyn Monroe
I didn't mind being thought of as dumb. I knew I wasn't.
Marilyn Monroe
Jewish men don't know anything.
Marilyn Monroe
If you're gonna be two-faced at least make one of them pretty.
Marilyn Monroe
Squeezing yourself to ooze out the last ounce of sex allure is terribly hard. I'd like to do roles like Julie in Bury the Dead, Gretchen in Faust and Teresa in Cradle Song.
Marilyn Monroe
I have noticed... that men usually leave married women alone and are inclined to treat all wives with respect. This is no great credit to married women.
Marilyn Monroe
President Kennedy is very democratic and very penetrating.
Marilyn Monroe
