The things a man has to have are hope and confidence in himself against odds, and sometimes he needs somebody, his pal or his mother or his wife or God, to give him that confidence. He's got to have some inner standards worth fighting for or there won't be any way to bring him into conflict. And he must be ready to choose death before dishonor without making too much song and dance about it. That's all there is to it.
I didn't want to go to bed with him, but I wanted him to know how much I looked and appreciated him.
Everything Marilyn does is different from any other woman, strange and exciting, from the way she talks to the way she uses that magnificent torso.
The only reason they come to see me is that I know that life is great, and they know I know it.
It's an extra dividend when you like the girl you're in love with.

I don't want a lot of strangers looking down at my wrinkles and my big fat belly when I'm dead.
If any child of mine becomes an actor I will turn in my grave.
Clark Gable was the only real he-man I've ever known, of all the actors I've met.
When the public doesn't want me any longer, I'll quit.
