Memorable Quotes

From Marilyn Monroe

"If I'm a star, then the people made me a star."

"What do I wear in bed? Why, Chanel No. 5, of course."

"...If you can make a girl laugh - you can make her do anything..."

"If I'd observed all the rules, I'd never have got anywhere."

"The body is meant to be seen, not all covered up."

"I don't mind living in a man's world as long as I can be a woman in it."

"The trouble with censors is that they worry if a girl has cleavage. They ought to worry if she hasn't any."

"Hollywood is a place where they'll pay you a thousand dollars for a kiss and fifty cents for your soul."
