Marilyn Monroe

When it comes down to it, I let them think what they want. If they care enough to bother with what I do, then I'm already better than them.

If you can make a girl laugh - you can make her do anything.

I am not interested in money. I just want to be wonderful.

Who said nights were for sleep?

I want to grow old without facelifts... I want to have the courage to be loyal to the face I've made. 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.

The body is meant to be seen, not all covered up.

It's better to be unhappy alone than unhappy with someone - so far.

If your gonna be two-faced at least make one of them pretty.

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.

I don't know who invented high heels, but all women owe him a lot

What do I wear in bed? Why, Chanel No. 5, of course.

Women who seek to be equal with mean lack ambition

Sex is a part of nature. I go along with nature

No one ever told me I was pretty when I was a little girl. All little girls should be told they're pretty, even if they aren't.

I don't mind being burdened with being glamorous and sexual. Beauty and femininity are ageless and can't be contrived, and glamour, although the manufacturers won't like this, cannot be manufactured. Not real glamour; it's based on femininity. We are all born sexual creatures, thank God, but it's a pity so many people despise and crush this natural gift. Art, real art, comes from it, everything.

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.

Hollywood is a place where they'll pay you a thousand dollars for a kiss and fifty cents for your soul

I'm very definitely a woman and I enjoy it.

I don't mind making jokes, but I don't want to look like one.

There must be a thousand girls out there, dreaming the same things as me. But I'm not going to worry about them;I'm dreaming the hardest.

Well behaved women rarely make history

I've never dropped anyone I believed in.

I restore myself when I'm alone.

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.

A wise girl kisses but doesn't love, listens but doesn't believe, and leaves before she is left.

Before marriage, a girl has to make love to a man to hold him. After marriage, she has to hold him to make love to him.

Husbands are chiefly good as lovers when they are betraying their wives.

It's woman's spirit and mood a man has to stimulate in order to make sex interesting. The real lover is the man who can thrill you by touching your head or smiling into your eyes or just staring into space.

It's all make believe, isn't it?

If I'd observed all the rules, I'd never have got anywhere.

It's better for the whole world to know you, even as a sex star, than never to be known at all.

Give a girl the right shoes, and she can conquer the world.

Everyone's just laughing at me. I hate it. Big breasts, big ass, big deal, Can't I be anything else ? Gee, how long can you be sexy?

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 noone but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.

Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.
