Marilyn Monroe Quotes

I was honoured when they asked me to appear at the president’s birthday rally in Madison Square Garden. There was like a hush over the whole place when I came on to sing ‘Happy Birthday,’ like if I had been wearing a slip, I would have thought it was showing or something. I thought, ‘Oh, my gosh, what if no sound comes out!’ Picture Quote #1

My dinners at home are startlingly simple. Every night, I stop at the market near my hotel and pick up a steak, lamb chops or some liver, which I broil in the electric oven in my room. I usually eat four or five raw carrots with my meat, and that is all. I must be part rabbit; I never get bored with raw carrots Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Of course, it does depend on the people, but sometimes I’m invited places to kind of brighten up a dinner table like a musician who’ll play the piano after dinner, and I know you’re not really invited for yourself. You’re just an ornament Picture Quote #1

If a man doesn’t want you at your worst, then he sure as hell doesn’t deserve you at your best Picture Quote #1

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 you Picture Quote #1

I have been told my eating habits are absolutely bizarre. But I don’t think so Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they’re right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Hollywood is a place where they’ll pay you a thousand dollars for a kiss and fifty cents for your soul Picture Quote #1

Marilyn Monroe was taken advantage of by most of the men that knew her, including Frank Sinatra and Joe DiMaggio, whom I also knew very well Picture Quote #1

A wise girl kisses but doesn’t love, listens but doesn’t believe, and leaves before she is left Picture Quote #1

I’m so many people. They shock me sometimes. I wish I was just me! I used to think I was going crazy, until I discovered that some people I admired were like that to Picture Quote #1

I’m selfish, impatient, and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I’m out of control, and at times hard to handle. But if you can’t handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don’t deserve me at my best Picture Quote #1

It’s almost having certain kinds of secrets for yourself that you’ll let the whole world in on only for a moment Picture Quote #1

Having a child, that’s always been my biggest fear. I want a child and I fear a child Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1
