More quotes by Marilyn Monroe
A sex-symbol becomes a thing, I just hate being a thing. But if I'm going to be a symbol of something I'd rather have it sex than some other things we've got symbols of.
Marilyn Monroe
Fame doesn't fulfill you. It warms you a bit, but that warmth is temporary.
Marilyn Monroe
I am good, but not an angel.
Marilyn Monroe
try to enjoy myself when I can - I'll be miserable enough as it is.
Marilyn Monroe
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
I used to think as I looked out on the Hollywood night, 'There must be thousands of girls sitting alone like me dreaming of being a movie star.' But I'm not going to worry about them. I'm dreaming the hardest.
Marilyn Monroe
A wise girl kisses but doesn't love, listens but doesn't believe, and leaves before she is left.
Marilyn Monroe
I don't mind living in a man's world as long as I can be a woman in it.
Marilyn Monroe
Someone said to me, 'If fifty percent of the experts in Hollywood said you had no talent and should give up, what would you do?' My answer was then and still is, 'If a hundred percent told me that, all one hundred percent would be wrong.'
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
There is a need for aloneness, which I don't think most people realise for an actor. It's almost having certain kinds of secrets for yourself that you'll let the whole world in on only for a moment, when you're acting. But everybody is always tugging at you. They'd all like sort of a chunk of you.
Marilyn Monroe
It’s easier to look sexy when you’re thinking of one man in particular.
Marilyn Monroe
A kiss on the hand might feel very good, but a diamond tiara is forever.
Marilyn Monroe
I think that sexuality is only attractive when it's natural and spontaneous.
Marilyn Monroe
Just because you've failed once, it doesn't mean you're going to fail at everything.
Marilyn Monroe
The chief drawback with men is that they are too talkative.
Marilyn Monroe
It takes a smart brunette to play a dumb blonde.
Marilyn Monroe
A girl does not need anyone who does not need her.
Marilyn Monroe
Just remember, some come, some go. The ones that stay with you through everything - they're your true best friends. Don't let go of them.
Marilyn Monroe
I always have a full-length mirror next to the camera when I'm doing publicity stills. That way, I know how I look.
Marilyn Monroe
