More quotes by Marilyn Monroe
I'm so many people. They shock me sometimes. I wish I was just me! I used to think I was going crazy, until I discovered that some people I admired were like that to.
Marilyn Monroe
I love to do the things the censors won't pass.
Marilyn Monroe
At twelve I looked like a girl of seventeen. My body was developed and shapely. I still wore the blue dress and the blouse the orphanage provided. They made me look like an overgrown lummox.
Marilyn Monroe
I have always had a talent for irritating women since I was fourteen.
Marilyn Monroe
Frankly, I've never considered my own figure so exceptional until quite recently, I seldom gave it any thought at all
Marilyn Monroe
Experts on romance say for a happy marriage there has to be more than a passionate love. For a lasting union, they insist, there must be a genuine liking for each other. Which, in my book, is a good definition for friendship.
Marilyn Monroe
If a star or studio chief or any other great movie personages find themselves sitting among a lot of nobodies, they get frightened - as if somebody was trying to demote them.
Marilyn Monroe
Being a movie star was never as much fun as dreaming of being one.
Marilyn Monroe
The body is meant to be seen, not all covered up.
Marilyn Monroe
I think that sexuality is only attractive when it's natural and spontaneous.
Marilyn Monroe
I have never liked sex. I do not think I ever will. It just seems the opposite of love.
Marilyn Monroe
Trying to build myself up with the fact that I have done things right that were even good and have had moments that were excellent but the bad is heavier to carry around and feel have no confidence.
Marilyn Monroe
Fame doesn't fulfill you. It warms you a bit, but that warmth is temporary.
Marilyn Monroe
I was never used to being happy, so that wasn't something I ever took for granted.
Marilyn Monroe
I'm one of the world's most self-conscious people. I really have to struggle.
Marilyn Monroe
My illusions didn't have anything to do with being a fine actress. I knew how third rate I was. I could actually feel my lack of talent, as if it were cheap clothes I was wearing inside. But, my God, how I wanted to learn, to change, to improve!
Marilyn Monroe
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. Hollywood's a place where they'll pay you a thousand dollars for kiss, and fifty cents for your soul. I know, because I turned down the first offer often enough and held out for the fifty.
Marilyn Monroe
I usually eat four or five raw carrots with my meat, and that is all. I must be part rabbit I never get bored with raw carrots
Marilyn Monroe
The public doesn't mind people living together without being married, providing they don't overdo it.
Marilyn Monroe
In Rockford I decided that I had seen enough of the world.
Marilyn Monroe
