I always felt I was a nobody, and the only way for me to be somebody was to be - well, somebody else. Which is probably why I wanted to act.
I learned to walk when I was ten months old and I've been walking this way ever since.
A man has a tendency to accept you the way you are, while most women immediately start to pick flaws and want to change you.
I learned also that the best way to keep out of trouble was by never complaining or asking for anything.
When you're famous you kind of run into human nature in a raw kind of way. It stirs up envy, fame does.
all girls are beautiful in their own way
One of the best things that ever happened to me is that I'm a woman. That is the way all females should feel.
That's the way you feel when you're beaten inside. You don't feel angry at those who've beaten you. You just feel ashamed.
You can't sleep your way into being a star. It takes much, much more. But it helps a lot of actresses get their first chance that way.
Friends accept you the way you are.
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.
