I'm a failure as a woman. My men expect so much of me, because of the image they've made of me- and that I've made of myself- as a sex symbol. They expect bells to ring and whistles to whistle, but my anatomy is the same as any other woman's and I can't live up to it.

I finally made up my mind I wanted to be an actress and I was not going to let my lack of confidence ruin my chances.

Marilyn Monroe 561 quotes

Doing a scene is like opening...

Doing a scene is like opening a bottle. If it doesn't open one way, try another - perhaps even give it up for another bottle?

A kiss on the hand might feel very good, but a diamond tiara is forever.

Marilyn Monroe 561 quotes

I think to love bravely is the best and accept - as much as one can bear.

Marilyn Monroe 561 quotes

Sometimes I think I was more ...

Sometimes I think I was more in control of my life years and years ago, and yet one should make progress; one should learn more every year and become…well, if not happier, then calmer and more able to handle your problems. But I’m not. Sometimes I just seem to make more problems for myself. I do. It makes me feel I haven’t grown up as much as I should have by now.

Marilyn Monroe 561 quotes

I was never used to being hap...

I was never used to being happy, so that wasn't something I ever took for granted.

Marilyn Monroe 561 quotes

Personally, I react to Marlon Brando. He's a favorite of mine.

Marilyn Monroe 561 quotes

I would have told her then sh...

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 561 quotes

I learned also that the best ...

I learned also that the best way to keep out of trouble was by never complaining or asking for anything.

Marilyn Monroe 561 quotes

I'm for the individual as opp...

I'm for the individual as opposed to the corporation. The way it is the individual is the underdog, and with all the things a corporation has going for them the individual comes out banged on her head. The artist is nothing. It's really tragic.

Marilyn Monroe 561 quotes

It might be a kind of relief ...

It might be a kind of relief to be finished. You have to start all over again. But I believe you’re always as good as your potential. I now live in my work and in a few relationships with the few people I can really count on. Fame will go by, and, so long, I’ve had you fame. If it goes by, I’ve always known it was fickle. So at least it’s something I experienced, but that’s not where I live.

Marilyn Monroe 561 quotes

Yes, there was something spec...

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.

Marilyn Monroe 561 quotes

Speaking of Oscars, I would w...

Speaking of Oscars, I would win overwhelmingly if the Academy gave an Oscar for faking orgasms. I have done some of my best acting convincing my partners I was in the throes of ecstasy.

Marilyn Monroe 561 quotes

We are all born sexual creatures,thank God, but it's a pity so many people despise and crush this natural gift.

Marilyn Monroe 561 quotes

Do not ever go back to that f...

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.

Marilyn Monroe 561 quotes

Fame to me certainly is only ...

Fame to me certainly is only a temporary and a partial happiness ... fame is not really for a daily diet, that's not what fulfills you. It warms you a bit but the warming is temporary. It's like caviar, you know - it's good to have caviar but not when you have to have it every meal and every day.

Marilyn Monroe 561 quotes

I believe that everything hap...

I believe that everything happens for a reason.

Marilyn Monroe 561 quotes

My marriage didn't make me sa...

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.
