Some famous Marilyn Monroe Quotes:

I've been on a calender, but never on time.

Dogs never bite me, just humans.

What do I wear in bed? Channel no. 5, ofcourse!

I like people, the 'public' scares me, but people I trust.

I think when you are famous every weakness is exaggertated.

No one ever told me I was pretty when I was a little girl. All the girls should be told they're pretty, even if they aren't.

Someone said to me, 'If 50 percent of the experts in Hollywood said you had no talent and should give up, what would you do?' My answer was then and still is, 'If 100 percent told me that, all 100 percent should be wrong.'

Personally, I react to Marlon Brando. He's a favorite of mine. (When someone asked about the're affair)

Qoutes on Marilyn:

Kissing Marilyn is like... kissing Hitler - Tony Curtis

There was something exceptional about Marilyn. Sometimes she could be ethereal and sometimes like a waitress in a coffeeshop. - Truman Capote

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. - Clark Gable

Marilyn is a dreamy girl. She's the kind who's liable to show up with one red shoe and one black shoe. - Jane Russell

Nobody discovered her, she earned her own way to stardom. - Darryl F. Zanuck

She was not the usual movie idol. There was something democratic about her. She was the type how would join in and wash up the supper disches even if you didn't ask her. - Carl Sandburg

Everything that girl does is sexy. a lot of people, the ones who haven't met Marilyn, will tell you it's all publicity. Thats malarkey. They've tried to give hundred of girls the same publicity build-up. It didn't take with them. This girl really got it! - Joseph Cotton
