Success makes so many people hate you. I wish it wasn't that... - Marilyn Monroe

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

"I've never fooled anyone. I've let people fool themselves. 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."

"Beneath the makeup and behind the smile I am just a girl who wishes for the world."

"Sometimes I feel my whole life has been one big rejection."

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