| Marilyn Monroe "I just want to be wonderful." |
"Everybody is always tugging at you.
They'd all like a sort of chunk out of you.
I don' think they realize it, but it's like 'grrr do this, grr do that...'
But you do want to stay intact--intact and on two feet."
"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."
The truth is I've never fooled anyone.
They didn't bother to find out who and what I was.
Instead they would invent a character for me.
I wouldn't argue with them.
They were obviously loving somebody I wasn't.
"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 their 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."
To put it bluntly, I seem to have a whole superstructure with no
foundation. But I'm working on the foundation.
"Beneath the makeup and behind the smile I am just a girl who wishes
for the world."
"Success makes so many people hate you. I wish it wasn't that
way. It would be wonderful to enjoy success without seeing
envy in the eyes of those around you."
"We are all of us stars, and we deserve to twinkle."
"If your gonna be two-faced at least make one of them pretty."
"It's better to be unhappy alone than unhappy with someone."
I restore myself when I'm alone.
A career is born in public, talent in privacy.
If you can make a girl laugh - you can make her do anything.

People had a habit of looking at me
as if I were some kind of mirror
instead of a person.
They didn't see me,
they saw their own lewd thoughts,
then they white-masked themselves
by calling me the lewd one.

| I've been on a calendar, but never on Time. |
"I used to think
as I looked out on the
Hollywood night,
'There must be
thousands of girls sitting
alone like me, dreaming
of becoming a movie star.
But I'm not going to
worry about them.
I'm dreaming
the hardest.'"

"I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure.
I make mistakes, I am 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."
