Enjoy the fact that you're a woman and men will enjoy it too.

In Hollywood a girl's virtue is much less important than her hairdo. You're judged by how you look, not by what you are.

There is just no comparison between having a dinner date with a man and staying home playing canasta with the girls.
Marilyn Monroe
Image
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.

When you're famous you kind of run into human nature in a raw kind of way. It stirs up envy, fame does.
Marilyn Monroe
Image
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
Image
Before marriage, a girl has to make love to a man to hold him. After marriage, she has to hold him to make love to him.

I don't stop when I'm tired. I only stop when I'm done.
