About Marilyn Monroe: Marilyn Monroe is considered one of the most important popular culture icons of the twentieth century.
When I was five I think, that's when I started wanting to be an actress.
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.
There is a need for aloneness, which I don't think most people realise for an actor. It's almost having certain kinds of secrets for yourself that you'll let the whole world in on only for a moment, when you're acting. But everybody is always tugging...
Millions of people live their entire lives without finding themselves. But it is something I must do.
I know I will never be happy, but I know I can be gay!
Nothing's ever easy as long as you go on living.
A man makes you feel important - makes you glad you are a woman.
The body is meant to be seen, not all covered up.
What do I wear in bed? Why, Chanel No. 5, of course.
Dreaming about being an actress, is more exciting then being one.
You know, most people really don't know me.
There are many times when a woman will ask another girl friend how she likes her new hat. She will reply, 'Fine,' but slap her hand to her forehead the minute the girl leaves to yipe, 'What a horror!'
A career is wonderful, but you can't curl up with it on a cold night.
I'll think I have a few wonderful friends and all of a sudden, ooh, here it comes. They do a lot of things. They talk about you to the press, to their friends, tell stories, and you know, it's disappointing.
I'm one of the world's most self-conscious people. I really have to struggle.
A career is born in public - talent in privacy.
Girdles and wire stays should have never been invented. No man wants to hug a padded bird cage.
It is wonderful to have someone praise you, to be desired.
I like actors very much, but to marry one would be like marrying your brother. You look too much alike in the mirror.
I've always wanted a baby.
When I was 11, the whole world was closed to me. I just felt I was on the outside of the world.
