✦ In Her Words
Marilyn was not just a face—she was a voice, a wit, a philosopher of life.
"Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius, and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely 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."
"Give a girl the right shoes, and she can conquer the world."
"We should all start to live before we get too old. Fear is stupid. So are regrets."
"I don't mind living in a man's world, as long as I can be a woman in it."
"Wanting to be someone else is a waste of the person you are."
"A wise girl knows her limits, a smart girl knows that she has none."
"If you can make a woman laugh, you can make her do anything."
"I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go."
"It's all make believe, isn't it?"
"I am good, but not an angel. I do sin, but I am not the devil."
"Success makes so many people hate you. I wish it wasn't that way. It would be wonderful to enjoy success without seeing envy in the eyes of those around you."
"The nicest thing for me is sleep, then at least I can dream."
"I'm not interested in money, I just want to be wonderful."
"Keep smiling, because life is a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about."
"Sometimes things fall apart so that better things can fall together."
"Dogs never bite me. Just humans."
"Dreaming about being an actress is more exciting than being one."
"Hollywood is a place where they'll pay you a thousand dollars for a kiss and fifty cents for your soul."
"I knew I belonged to the public and to the world, not because I was talented or even beautiful, but because I had never belonged to anything or anyone else."
