Before marriage, a girl has to make love to a man to hold him. After marriage, she has to hold him to make love to him.
Marilyn Monroe -
She was a girl who knew how to be happy even when she was sad. And that’s important—you know.

As long as I can remember, I've always loved people.
Marilyn Monroe -
The nicest thing for me is sleep, then at least I can dream.
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.
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.

Things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right.

Fame may go by and - so long, I've had you.

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 -
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.
Marilyn Monroe -
When you're a failure in Hollywood, that's like starving to death outside a banquet hall, with smells of filet mignon driving you crazy.
Marilyn Monroe -
It's not true I had nothing on, I had the radio on.
Marilyn Monroe -
In Hollywood a girl's virtue is much less important than her hairdo. You're judged by how you look, not by what you are. Hollywood's a place where they'll pay you a thousand dollars for kiss, and fifty cents for your soul. I know, because I turned down the first offer often enough and held out for the fifty.

You're always running into people's unconscious.

It is wonderful to have someone praise you, to be desired.
Marilyn Monroe -
Frankly, I've never considered my own figure so exceptional; until quite recently, I seldom gave it any thought at all. My biggest single concern used to be getting enough to eat. Now I have to worry about eating too much. I never used to bother with exercises. Now I spend at least 10 minutes each morning working out with small weights. I have evolved my own exercises, for the muscles I wish to keep firm, and I know they are right for me because I can feel them putting the proper muscles into play as I exercise.
Marilyn Monroe -
If a man doesn't want you at your worst, then he sure as hell doesn't deserve you at your best.
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...
Marilyn Monroe -
I have feelings too. I am still human. All I want is to be loved, for myself and for my talent.

I don't think sun-tanned skin is any more attractive than white skin, or any healthier, for that matter.
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.
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 -
I’ve given pure sex appeal very little thought. If I had to think about it I’m sure it would frighten me.
