Marilyn Monroe Quotes

I didn’t think Marilyn Monroe was beautiful. It used to worry me. I thought maybe I’m not put together like the other chaps Picture Quote #1

My idol was Marilyn Monroe, who was a size 16, I think, and curvy in all the right places. I will never be stick thin. I remember a shoot where I had to get into these tiny hot pants, and I thought, ‘God, I wish I hadn’t eaten.’ Picture Quote #1

People who lusted after Marilyn Monroe had no idea she stuttered. It is the secret of her sexiness, actually Picture Quote #1

Tina Turner is someone that I admire, because she made her strength feminine and sexy. Marilyn Monroe, because she was a curvy woman. I’m drawn to things that have the same kind of silhouettes as what she wore because our bodies are similar Picture Quote #1

Designers want me to dress like Spring, in billowing things. I don’t feel like Spring. I feel like a warm red Autumn Picture Quote #1

I’m one of the world’s most self-conscious people. I really have to struggle Picture Quote #1

I once wanted to prove myself by being a great actress. Now I want to prove that I’m a person. Then maybe I’ll be a great actress Picture Quote #1

An actor is supposed to be a sensitive instrument. Isaac Stern takes good care of his violin. What if everybody jumped on his violin? Picture Quote #1

What good am I? I can’t have kids. I can’t cook. I’ve been divorced three times. Who would want me? Picture Quote #1

What good is it being Marilyn Monroe? Why can’t I just be an ordinary woman? Picture Quote #1

When Clark Gable died, I cried for 2 days straight. I couldn’t eat or sleep Picture Quote #1

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!’ Picture Quote #1

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!’ Picture Quote #1

What I really want to say: That what the world really needs is a real feeling of kinship. Everybody: stars, laborers, Negroes, Jews, Arabs. We are all brothers Picture Quote #1

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.’ Picture Quote #1

I don’t know if high society is different in other cities, but in Hollywood, important people can’t stand to be invited someplace that isn’t full of other important people. They don’t mind a few unfamous people being present because they make good listeners Picture Quote #1

I wrote a novel called ‘Blonde,’ which is about Norma Jean Baker, who becomes Marilyn Monroe, which I called a fictitious biography. That uses the material as if it were myth - that Marilyn Monroe is like this mythical figure in our culture Picture Quote #1

Everybody who’s played Marilyn Monroe before has gone down in flames. It’s impossible to capture Marilyn Monroe Picture Quote #1

If Marilyn Monroe was alive right now, what would she be doing?’ Clawing at the roof of her coffin Picture Quote #1

But chiefly, no lies! No lies about there being a Santa Claus or about the world being full of noble and honorable people all eager to help each other and do good to each other. I’ll tell her there are honor and goodness in the world, the same as there are diamonds and radium Picture Quote #1

In Hollywood a girl’s virtue is much less important than her hairdo. You’re judged by how you look, not by what you are. Hollywood’s a place where they’ll pay you a thousand dollars for kiss, and fifty cents for your soul. I know, because I turned down the first offer often enough and held out for the fifty Picture Quote #1

My illusions didn’t have anything to do with being a fine actress. I knew how third rate I was. I could actually feel my 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! Picture Quote #1

As Michael (Chekhov)’s pupil, I learned more about acting. I learned psychology, history, and the good manners of art - taste Picture Quote #1

It stirs up envy, fame does. People feel fame gives them some kind of privilege to walk up to you and say anything to you - and it won’t hurt your feelings - like it’s happening to your clothing Picture Quote #1

I don’t think sun-tanned skin is any more attractive than white skin, or any healthier, for that matter Picture Quote #1

Everybody says I can’t act. They said the same thing about Elizabeth Taylor. And they were wrong. She was great in A Place in the Sun. I’ll never get the right part, anything I really want. My looks are against me. They’re too specific Picture Quote #1

As far as talent goes, Marilyn Monroe was so minimally gifted as to be almost unemployable, and anyone who holds to the opinion that she was a great natural comic identifies himself immediately as a dunce Picture Quote #1

Creativity starts with humanity when were being human we feel - joys, sadness, when we’re sick, when we’re nervous Picture Quote #1

I hear you’re looking for a sexy blonde to play with the Marx Brothers. Would you like to see me. I’m blonde and I’m sexy Picture Quote #1

It’s a toss-up whether the scenery or the adornment of Marilyn Monroe is the feature of greater attraction in River of No Return. The mountainous scenery is spectacular, but so in her own way is Miss Monroe Picture Quote #1
