I'm very definitely a woman and I enjoy it.
Marilyn Monroe -
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.

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 -
Let yourself go, the pleasure of physical movement is so important. If that's a problem, you say to yourself, what is there that I am afraid of, or hiding? Maybe your libido!
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 -
Friends accept you the way you are.
Marilyn Monroe -
An actor is supposed to be a sensitive instrument.
Marilyn Monroe -
This life is what you make it. No matter what, you're going to mess up sometimes, it's a universal truth. But the good part is you get to decide how you're going to mess it up. Girls will be your friends - they'll act like it anyway. But 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.

If you're gonna be two-faced at least make one of them pretty.
Marilyn Monroe -
I just got to feel that whoever I marry has some real regard for me.
Marilyn Monroe -
Women who try to be equivalent with men need desire.
Marilyn Monroe -
The nicest thing for me is sleep, then at least I can dream.
Marilyn Monroe -
No sex is wrong, if there's love in it.
Marilyn Monroe -
Please don't make me a joke. End the interview with what I believe. I don't mind making jokes, but I don't want to look like one... I want to be an artist, an actress with integrity...

Fame may go by and - so long, I've had you.
Marilyn Monroe -
I think cheesecake helps call attention to you. Then you can follow through and prove yourself.
Marilyn Monroe -
Beneath the makeup & behind the smile I'm just the girl who wishes for the world. A wise girl kisses, but doesn't love. Listens but dosen't believe. And leaves before she is left. If you can make a girl laugh - you can make her do anything. It's often just enough to be with someone. I don't need to touch them. Not even talk. A feeling passes between you both. You're not alone.
Marilyn Monroe -
Naturally, there are times when every woman likes to be flattered... to feel she is the most important thing in someone's world. Only a man can paint this picture.
Marilyn Monroe -
Cutting negative people from my life does not mean I hate them, it simply means I respect me.
Marilyn Monroe -
Love is something you cant invent, no matter how much you want to.

There was my name up in lights. I said, 'God, somebody's made a mistake.' But there it was, in lights. And I sat there and said, 'Remember, you're not a star.' Yet there it was up in lights.
Marilyn Monroe -
Dating a new man is like holding a strawberry milkshake; first the taste, then the pleasure.
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 -
Always remember to smile and look up at what you got in life.
