01UndatedSome of my foster families used to send me to the movies to get me out of the house and there I'd sit all day and way into the night. Up in front, there with the screen so big, a little kid all alone, and I loved it. I loved anything that moved up there and I didn't miss anything that happened and there was no popcorn either.Marilyn Monroe / quote ↗
02UndatedAn actress is not a machine, but they treat you like a machine. A money machine.Marilyn Monroe / quote ↗
03UndatedBefore 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.Marilyn Monroe / quote ↗
06UndatedBeauty 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.Marilyn Monroe / quote ↗
07UndatedSuccess 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.Marilyn Monroe / quote ↗
09UndatedMy 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.Marilyn Monroe / quote ↗
13UndatedI 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.Marilyn Monroe / quote ↗
14UndatedI am involved in a freedom ride protesting the loss of the minority rights belonging to the few remaining earthbound stars. All we demanded was our right to twinkle.Marilyn Monroe / quote ↗
