Marilyn Monroe

Ever notice that what the hell is always the right decision?

A sex symbol becomes a thing. I hate being a thing.

I've been on a calendar, but never on time.

It is better to be unhappy alone than unhappy with someone else.

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

Sex is part of nature, I go with nature.

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

I don't mind living in a man's world as long as i can be a woman in it.

Sex is a part of nature. I go along with nature.

I knew I belonged to the public and to the world, not because I was talented or even beautiful, but because I had never belonged to anything or anyone else.

I am not interested in money. I just want to be wonderful.

No one ever told me I was pretty when I was a little girl. All little girls should be told they are pretty, even if they aren't.

An actress is not a machine, but they treat you like a machine. A money machine.

I don't mind living in a man's world as long as I can be a woman in it.

I've been on a calender, but never on time.

I used to think as I looked out on the Hollywood night, 'There must be thousands of girls sitting alone like me, dreaming of becoming a movie star. But I'm not going to worry about them. I'm dreaming the hardest.'

I want to grow old without facelifts. I want to have the courage to be loyal to the face I have made.

It's all make believe, isn't it?

Only the public can make a star. It's the studios who try to make a system out of it.

Everyone's a star and deserves the right to twinkle.

I'm not interested in money. I just want to be wonderful.
