I used to say to myself, 'What the devil have you got to be proud about, Marilyn Monroe?' And I'd answer, 'Everything, everything,' and I'd walk slowly and turn my head slowly as if I were a queen.
Women who try to be equivalent with men need desire.
I want to be an artist, not an erotic freak. I don’t want to be sold to the public as a celluloid aphrodisiac.
I love a natural look in pictures. I like people with a feeling one way or another — it shows an inner life. I like to see that there’s something going on inside them.
Well, whatever I am, I am the blonde!
Being a sex symbol is a heavy load to carry, especially when one is tired, hurt and bewildered.
When you're famous you kind of run into human nature in a raw kind of way. It stirs up envy, fame does.
Wise girls kiss but never love Listen but never believe And leave befor they are left
You've got a way with words. You got me smiling even when it hurts. There's no way to measure what your love is worth, I can't believe the way you get through to me. ~ Shania Twain If you can make a girl laugh, you can make her do anything

Sometimes I think I was more in control of my life years and years ago, and yet one should make progress; one should learn more every year and become…well, if not happier, then calmer and more able to handle your problems. But I’m not. Sometimes I just seem to make more problems for myself. I do. It makes me feel I haven’t grown up as much as I should have by now.
A man makes you feel important - makes you glad you are a woman.
We human beings are strange creatures and still reserve the right to think for ourselves.
As Michael (Chekhov)'s pupil, I learned more about acting. I learned psychology, history, and the good manners of art - taste.
