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.

Maybe I’ll never be able to do what I hope to, but at least I have hope.

You've got a way with words. You got me smiling even when it hurts. There's no way to measure what your love is worth, I can't believe the way you get through to me. ~ Shania Twain If you can make a girl laugh, you can make her do anything

I would have told her then she was the only thing that I could love in this dying world but the simple word "love" itself already died and went away.
Marilyn Monroe

People always ask me if I believe diamonds are a girl's best friend. Frankly, I don't.
Marilyn Monroe

I'm pretty, but not beautiful. I sin, but I'm not the devil. I'm good, but I'm not an angel.

An actor is supposed to be a sensitive instrument.
Marilyn Monroe

Girdles and wire stays should have never been invented. No man wants to hug a padded bird cage.

I learned to walk as a baby, and I haven't had a lesson since.
Marilyn Monroe

Fame may go by and - so long, I've had you.
Marilyn Monroe
-
Someday I want to have children and give them all the love I never had.
Marilyn Monroe
-
I won't be satisfied until people want to hear me sing without looking at me. Of course, that doesn't mean I want them to stop looking.
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
-
I think every human being knows how to hate. Because if they didn't know how to hate how to hate they wouldn't know how to love.
Marilyn Monroe
-
I am good, but not an angel. I do sin, but I am not the devil. I am just a small girl in a big world trying to find someone to love.
