I always felt I was nobody and the only way for me to be somebody was to be... well, somebody else.
I always felt insecure and in the way, but most of all I felt scared. I guess I wanted love more than anything else in the world.
I always felt insecure and in the way — but most of all I felt scared. I guess I wanted love more than anything else in the world.
When I was 11, the whole world was closed to me. I just felt I was on the outside of the world.
I've always felt those articles somehow reveal more about the writers than they do about me.
I'm looking forward to eventually becoming a marvelous - excuse the word marvelous - character actress. Like Marie Dressler, like Will Rogers.
I kept driving past the theatre with my name on the marquee. Was I excited. I wished they were using 'Norma Jeane' so that all the kids at the home and schools who never noticed me could see it.
Imperfection is beauty. Madness is genius and it is better to be absolutely ridiculous then absolutly boring.
I'm selfish, impatient, and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control, and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.
It was like working with a little sister.
I wanna guy I can look up to . . . I just gotta feel that whoever I marry has some real regard for me, aside from all that loving stuff.
I want to grow old without facelifts... I want to have the courage to be loyal to the face I've made. Sometimes I think it would be easier to avoid old age, to die young, but then you'd never complete your life, would you? You'd never wholly know you
I want to continue my growth in every way.
It's better to be unhappy alone than unhappy with someone.
