Quote

I've read all of Shakespeare and practiced a lot of lines. ... I am going to do Juliet first. Don't laugh. What, with what makeup, costume and camera can do, my acting will create a Juliet who is 14, an innocent virgin.

I like actors very much, but to marry one would be like marrying your brother. You look too much alike in the mirror.

A wise girl kisses but doesn't love, listens but doesn't believe, and leaves before she is left.
Marilyn Monroe

A girl does not need anyone who does not need her.
Marilyn Monroe
Image
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.

Dogs never bite me. Just humans.
Marilyn Monroe

I don't mind living in a man's world as long as I can be a woman in it.
Marilyn Monroe
Image
I always felt I was a nobody, and the only way for me to be somebody was to be - well, somebody else. Which is probably why I wanted to act.
Marilyn Monroe
Image
Fame has a special burden, which I might as well state here and now. I don't mind being burdened with being glamorous and sexual. But what goes with it can be a burden
