Marilyn Monroe quotes

American actress who became a major sex symbol, 1926-1962


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.

 

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

 

It's not true I had nothing on, I had the radio on.

 

Goethe said, 'Talent is developed in privacy,' you know? And it's really true. There is a need for aloneness which I don't think most people realize 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.

 

An actor is supposed to be a sensitive instrument. Isaac Stern takes good care of his violin. What if everyone jumped on his violin?

 

Fame will go by and, so long, I've had you, Fame. If it goes by, I've always known it was fickle.

 

I restore myself when I'm alone.

 

My illusions didn't have anything to do with being a fine actress, I knew how third rate I was. I could actually feel my lack of talent, as if it were cheap clothes I was wearing inside. But, my God, how I wanted to learn, to change, to improve!

 

In Hollywood a girl's virtue is much less important than her hairdo. You're judged by how you look, not by what you are. Hollywood's a place where they'll pay you a thousand dollars for kiss, and fifty cents for your soul. I know, because I turned down the first offer often enough and held out for the fifty.
