Love is something you cant invent, no matter how much you want to.
People respect you because they feel you've survived hard times and endured, and although you've become famous, you haven't become phony.
Everybody is always tugging at you. They'd all like a sort of chunk out of you. I don' think they realize it, but it's like 'grrr do this, grr do that' But you do want to stay intact-intact and on two feet.
Gee, I never thought I had an effect on people until I was in Korea.
This industry should behave like a mother whose child has just run out in front of a car. But instead of clasping the child to them, they start punishing the child. Like you don't dare get a cold. How dare you get a cold! I mean, the executives can get colds and stay home forever and phone it in, but how dare you, the actor, get a cold or a virus. You know, no one feels worse than the one who's sick. I sometimes wish, gee, I wish they had to act a comedy with a temperature and a virus infection.
I'm going to be a great movie star some day.
I didn't pay much attention to the whistles and whoops, in fact, I didn't quite hear them. I was full of a strange feeling, as if I were two people. One of them was Norma Jeane from the orphanage who belonged to nobody; the other was someone whose name I didn't know. But I knew where she belonged; she belonged to the ocean and the sky and the whole world.
In Rockford I decided that I had seen enough of the world.
It was my fans who made me a star.
I learned to walk when I was ten months old and I've been walking this way ever since.
Wouldnt it be nice to be like men and get notches in your belt... and not get emotionally involved?
They will only care when you're gone.
I lay in bed at night crying to myself. The only one who loved me and watched over me was someone I couldn't see or hear or touch.
Everyones childhood plays itself out. No wonder no one knows the other or can completely understand.
