Marilyn Monroe — "I have too many fantasies to be a housewife."

"We are all of us stars, and we deserve to twinkle."

"My marriage didn't make me sad, but it didn't make me happy either. My husband and I hardly spoke to each other. This wasn't because we were angry. We had nothing to say. I was dying of boredom."

"I'm not a sex symbol. I'm a human being."

"I do have feelings some days when there are scenes with a lot of responsibility toward the meaning, and I'll wish, 'Gee, if only I had been a cleaning woman.'"

"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."
