I think I made his back feel better.

It's not to much fun to know yourself too well or think you do - everyone needs a little conceit to carry them through & past the falls.

I'm trying to find myself as a person, sometimes that's not easy to do. Millions of people live their entire lives without finding themselves. But it is something I must do. The best way for me to find myself as a person is to prove to myself that I am an actress.

Sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.

All my stepchildren carried the burden of my fame. Sometimes they would read terrible things about me, and I'd worry about whether it would hurt them. I would tell them: 'Don't hide these things from me. I'd rather you ask me these things straight out, and I'll answer all your questions.'

I'm one of the world's most self-conscious people. I really have to struggle.
Marilyn Monroe

I want to say to the people, if I am a star, the people made me a star. No studio, no person, but the people did.

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.

When it gets hot like this, you know what I do? I keep my undies in the ice box.
Marilyn Monroe

I've never fooled anyone. I've let people fool themselves. They didn't bother to find out who and what I was. Instead they would invent a character for me. I wouldn't argue with them. They were obviously loving somebody I wasn't.

Isn't there any other part of the matzo you can eat?

We human beings are strange creatures and still reserve the right to think for ourselves.

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.

No sex is wrong, if there's love in it.

Consider the fellow. He never spends his time telling you about his previous night's date. You get the idea he has eyes only for you and wouldn't think of looking at another woman.

I don't mind making jokes, but I don't want to look like one...

There is a need for aloneness... for an actor.

It's better for the whole world to know you, even as a sex star, than never to be known at all.
Marilyn Monroe

I have feelings too. I am still human. All I want is to be loved, for myself and for my talent.
Marilyn Monroe

You're the beautiful one. It's society that's ugly.

I don't digest things with my mind.
Marilyn Monroe

Just because you fail once, doesn't mean you're fail at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always trust yourself, because if you don't then who will??
Marilyn Monroe

I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.

What I really want to say: That what the world really needs is a real feeling of kinship. Everybody: stars, laborers, Negroes, Jews, Arabs. We are all brothers.
