When you're famous you kind of run into human nature in a raw kind of way. It stirs up envy, fame does.

More quotes by Marilyn Monroe
Of course, it does depend on the people, but sometimes I'm invited places to kind of brighten up a dinner table like a musician who'll play the piano after dinner, and I know you're not really invited for yourself. You're just an ornament.
Marilyn Monroe
Some of my foster families used to send me to the movies to get me out of the house and there I'd sit all day and way into the night. Up in front, there with the screen so big, a little kid all alone, and I loved it. I loved anything that moved up there and I didn't miss anything that happened and there was no popcorn either.
Marilyn Monroe
I'm for the individual as opposed to the corporation. The way it is the individual is the underdog, and with all the things a corporation has going for them the individual comes out banged on her head. The artist is nothing. It's really tragic.
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
When I was a youngster I lived with different families. I nearly always felt closer to the man of the house. Maybe because I always dreamed of having a father of my own.
Marilyn Monroe
I've been on a calendar, but I've never been on time.
Marilyn Monroe
A girl does not need anyone who does not need her.
Marilyn Monroe
I feel that beauty and femininity are ageless
Marilyn Monroe
I have never been able to wear pajamas or creepy nightgowns they disturb my sleep.
Marilyn Monroe
I remember when I was in high school I didn't have a new dress for each special occasion. The girls would bring the fact to my attention, not always too delicately. The boys, however, never bothered with the subject. They were my friends, not because of the size of my wardrobe but because they liked me.
Marilyn Monroe
Being a sex symbol is a heavy load to carry, especially when one is tired, hurt and bewildered.
Marilyn Monroe
I want to grow old without facelifts. I want to have the courage to be loyal to the face I have made.
Marilyn Monroe
Speaking of Oscars, I would win overwhelmingly if the Academy gave an Oscar for faking orgasms. I have done some of my best acting convincing my partners I was in the throes of ecstasy.
Marilyn Monroe
A woman can bring a new love to each man she loves, providing there are not too many.
Marilyn Monroe
Everyone's a star and deserves the right to twinkle.
Marilyn Monroe
No sex is wrong, if there's love in it.
Marilyn Monroe
It's a terrible thing to be lonesome, especially in the middle of a crowd.
Marilyn Monroe
I don't think sun-tanned skin is any more attractive than white skin, or any healthier, for that matter
Marilyn Monroe
The real lover is the man who can thrill you by kissing your forehead.
Marilyn Monroe
A smart girl leaves before she is left.
