Marilyn Monroe

(1926–1962) · American Actress

American actress and model.

Fame will go by and, so long, I've had you, fame. If it goes by, I've always known it was fickle. So at least it's something I experience, but that's not where I live.
The truth is, I've never fooled anyone. I've let men sometimes fool themselves.
The real lover is the man who can thrill you just by touching your head or smiling into your eyes - or just by staring into space.
Friends accept you the way you are.
When I was five I think, that's when I started wanting to be an actress.
Respect is one of life's greatest treasures. I mean, what does it all add up to if you don't have that?
Fame is fickle, and I know it. It has its compensations but it also has its drawbacks, and I've experienced them both.
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 at you. They'd all like sort of a chunk of you.
Black men don't like to be called 'boys,' but women accept being called 'girls.'
Men are so willing to respect anything that bores them.
