With fame, you know, you can ...

With fame, you know, you can read about yourself, somebody else's ideas about you, but what's important is how you feel about yourself - for survival and living day to day with what comes up.

When Clark Gable died, I cried for 2 days straight. I couldn't eat or sleep.

Marilyn Monroe 561 quotes

My work is the only ground I'...

My work is the only ground I've ever had to stand on. To put it bluntly, I seem to have a whole superstructure with no foundation, but I'm working on the foundation.

Marilyn Monroe 561 quotes

I guess I have always been deeply terrified to really be someone's wife since I know from life one cannot love another, ever, really.

Marilyn Monroe 561 quotes

A man is more frank and since...

A man is more frank and sincere with his emotions than a woman. We girls, I'm afraid, have a tendency to hide our feelings.

The working men, I'll go by and they'll whistle. At first they whistle because they think, 'Oh, it's a girl. She's got blond hair and she's not out of shape,' and then they say, 'Gosh, it's Marilyn Monroe!'

First, I'm trying to prove to...

First, I'm trying to prove to myself that I'm a person. Then maybe I'll convince myself that I'm an actress.

Marilyn Monroe 561 quotes

When I was a youngster I live...

When I was a youngster I lived with different families. I nearly always felt closer to the man of the house. Maybe because I always dreamed of having a father of my own.

Marilyn Monroe 561 quotes

It's not to much fun to know ...

It's not to much fun to know yourself too well or think you do - everyone needs a little conceit to carry them through & past the falls.

In fact, my popularity seems almost entirely a masculine phenomenon.

Marilyn Monroe 561 quotes

I was brought up differently than the average American child because the average child is brought up expecting to be happy.

I used to get the feeling, and sometimes I still get it, that sometimes I was fooling somebody; I don't know who or what, maybe myself.

Marilyn Monroe 561 quotes

There is just no comparison between having a dinner date with a man and staying home playing canasta with the girls.

Marilyn Monroe 561 quotes

Like any creative human being...

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 561 quotes

All my stepchildren carried the burden of my fame. Sometimes they would read terrible things about me, and I'd worry about whether it would hurt them. I would tell them: 'Don't hide these things from me. I'd rather you ask me these things straight out, and I'll answer all your questions.'

Marilyn Monroe 561 quotes

An actor is supposed to be a sensitive instrument. Isaac Stern takes good care of his violin. What if everybody jumped on his violin?

I don't consider myself an intellectual. And this is not one of my aims. But I admire intellectual people.

Marilyn Monroe 561 quotes

I've always felt toward the slightest scene, even if all I had to do in a scene was just to come in and say, 'Hi,' that the people ought to get their money's worth and that this is an obligation of mine, to give them the best you can get from me.

If I close my eyes and think of Hollywood, all I see is one big varicose vein.

Marilyn Monroe 561 quotes

A woman is often measured by ...

A woman is often measured by the things she cannot control. She is measured by the way her body curves or doesn't curve, by where she is flat or straight or round. She is measured by 36-24-36 and inches and ages and numbers, by all the outside things that don’t ever add up to who she is on the inside. And so if a woman is to be measured, let her be measured by the things she can control, by who she is and who she is trying to become. Because as every woman knows, measurements are only statistics... and STATISTICS LIE.
