Joe: You don't want me, Sugar. I'm a liar and a phony. A saxophone player. One of those no-goodniks you keep running away from. Sugar: I know, every time. Joe: Sugar, do yourself a favor. Go back to where the millionaires are, the sweet end of the lollipop, not the cole slaw in the face, the old socks and the squeezed-out tube of toothpaste. Sugar: That's right. Pour it on. Talk me out of it. (She grabs him to kiss him.)

Like any creative human being, I would like a bit more control so that it would be a little easier for me when the director says, 'One tear, right now,' that one tear would pop out.
Marilyn Monroe

I am invariably late for appointments - sometimes as much as two hours. I've tried to change my ways but the things that make me late are too strong, and too pleasing.
Marilyn Monroe

I was never used to being happy, so that wasn't something I ever took for granted.
Marilyn Monroe
-
A struggle with shyness is in every actor more than anyone can imagine.
Marilyn Monroe

Do not ever go back to that from which decided to leave. As much as you did not ask, and how would you not want to own. Having conquered a mountain, begin to attack the other.

I didn't mind being thought of as dumb. I knew I wasn't.

Ever notice how 'What the hell' is always the right answer?

Fear is stupid. So are regrets.
Marilyn Monroe
-
I am good, but not an angel. I do sin, but I am not the devil. I am pretty, but not beautiful. I have friends, but I am not the peacemaker.
Marilyn Monroe
-
My public is growing up just as I am. After all, I'm not 19 anymore and if I stick with the sex bit, who will be paying to see me when I'm 50?
Marilyn Monroe
-
This life is what you make it. Not matter what, you're going to mess up sometimes, it's a universal truth.
Marilyn Monroe

I lay in bed at night crying to myself. The only one who loved me and watched over me was someone I couldn't see or hear or touch.
Marilyn Monroe

I wish I knew why I am so anguished.

For a long time I was scared I'd find out I was like my mother.

If a man doesn't want you at your worst, then he sure as hell doesn't deserve you at your best.
Marilyn Monroe

In Rockford I decided that I had seen enough of the world.
Marilyn Monroe
-
What good am I? I can't have kids. I can't cook. I've been divorced three times. Who would want me?
Marilyn Monroe
-
If I play a stupid girl and ask a stupid question, I've got to follow it through. What am I supposed to do, look intelligent?
Marilyn Monroe
-
You know, most people really don't know me.
Marilyn Monroe
-
I doubt if any doctor could recommend a more nourishing breakfast for a working girl in a hurry.
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!
