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.

My marriage didn't make me sad, but it didn't make me happy either. My husband and I hardly spoke to each other. This wasn't because we were angry. We had nothing to say. I was dying of boredom.

Some of my foster families used to send me to the movies to get me out of the house and there I'd sit all day and way into the night. Up in front, there with the screen so big, a little kid all alone, and I loved it. I loved anything that moved up there and I didn't miss anything that happened and there was no popcorn either.
Marilyn Monroe

I am alone; I am always alone no matter what.

I used to get the feeling, and sometimes I still get it, that I was fooling somebody - I don't know who or what - maybe myself. I have feelings some days where there are scenes with a lot of responsibility, and I'll wish, 'Gee, if only I had been a cleaning woman.

I've found men are less likely to let petty things annoy them.
Marilyn Monroe

(about her teen years) My admirers all said the same thing in different ways. It was my fault, their wanting to kiss and hug me.

I have too many fantasies to be a housewife. I guess I am a fantasy.
Marilyn Monroe

I want to be an artist, not an erotic freak. I don’t want to be sold to the public as a celluloid aphrodisiac.

I have never been able to wear pajamas or creepy nightgowns; they disturb my sleep.
Marilyn Monroe

The fact is that I find more most men are more open, more generous, and much more stimulating than the majority of females I know.

I don't want to make money, I just want to be wonderful.

I believe in everything - a little bit.

President Kennedy is very democratic and very penetrating.

There isn't anybody that looks like me without clothes on.

For life: It is rather a determination not to be overwhelmed. For work: The truth can only be recalled, never invented.
Marilyn Monroe

But square-cut or pear-shaped, These rocks don't lose their shape. Diamonds are a girl's best friend.

Suicide, is a persons privilege. I don't believe it's a sin or a crime it's your right if you do. Though it doesn't get you anywhere.
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
-
Yes, there was something special about me, and I knew what it was. I was the kind of girl they found dead in a hall bedroom with an empty bottle of sleeping pills in her hand.

Acting became important. It became an art that belonged to the actor, not to the director or producer, or the man whose money had bought the studio. It was an art that transformed you into somebody else, that increased your life and mind. I had always loved acting and tried hard to learn it. But with Michael Chekhov, acting became more than a profession to me. It became a sort of religion.
Marilyn Monroe

How do I know about a man's needs for a sex symbol? I'm a girl.
