This page allows you to read just some Marilyn quotes from through the years – enjoy!! “I want to grow old without face-lifts...I want to have the courage to be loyal to the face I have made. Sometimes I think it would be easier to avoid old age, to die young, but then you'd never complete your life, would you?? You'd never wholly know yourself.” “If I'm a star, the people made me a star.” “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 don't understand why people aren't a little more generous with each other.” |

“It's nice, people knowing who you are and all of that, and feeling that you've meant something to them”. “I learned to walk as a baby and I haven't had a lesson since.” “I am not interested in money. I just want to be wonderful.” “What am I afraid of?? Do I think I can't act?? I know I can act, but I am afraid. I am afraid and I should not be and I must not be”. “Why haven't I the right to grow and expand like everybody else?” “Being a sex symbol is a heavy load to carry, especially when one is tired, hurt and bewildered.” “Have you ever been in a house with forty rooms?? Well, multiply the loneliness by forty. That's how lonely I am”. “Only the public can make you a star. It's the studio who try to make a system out of it.” “I believe that everything happens for a reason, people change so that you can learn to let go, and sometimes good things fall apart, so that better things can fall together.” “You can't always have everything in life the way you want it. You have to accept what comes your way.” “What do I wear in bed? Why, Chanel No 5, of course.” “My illusions didn't have anything to do with being a fine actress. I knew how third rate I was. I could actually feel the lack of talent, as if it were cheap clothes I was wearing inside. But, my God, how I wanted to learn, to change, to improve!! I didn't want anything else. Not men, not money, not love, but the ability to act.” |

“Acting is a real struggle. I'm one of the worlds most self-conscious people. I really have to struggle.” “We did some test scenes of me in a pool, sort of nude. I hope they give me some good nude lines to go with it.” (Talking about her last, unfinished film, something's got to give). “Hollywood is a place were they'll pay you a thousand dollars for a kiss and fifty cents for your soul.” “The only people I care about are the people in Times Square, across the street from the theatre, who can't get close as I come in. If I had light make-up on, they'd never see me. This make-up is for them...” “I'm going to be a great movie star some day.” “I don't think people will turn against me, at least not by themselves. I like people.” “I just had to make it. I was determined to make it. Nothing was going to get in my way.” “I think I have one talent. I think it's observing. I hope that adds up to acting. I hope to put it to good use”. “I am trying to prove to myself that I am a person. Then maybe I'll convince myself that I am an actress.” “I used to say to myself, what the devil have you got to be proud about, Marilyn Monroe?? And I'd answer Everything, Everything”. “When I think of the future I think, I'm 36 years old. I am just getting started.” “Fame will go by and, so long, I've had you, fame. I've always known it was fickle. So at least it's something I experienced, but that's not where I live.” “It might be kind of a relief to be finished.” |
