"Beneath the makeup and behind the smile..." - Quote by Marilyn Monroe

“Having a child, that's always been my biggest fear. I want a child and I fear a child.”

“No girl should ever forget that she doesn't need anyone who doesn't need her.”

“I enjoy acting when you really hit it right. And I guess I've always had too much fantasy to be only a housewife.”

“The interpretation of our reality through patterns not our own, serves only to make us ever more unknown, ever less free, ever more solitary.”

“The work is the work. The work is not me. I like the anonymity that directors can have about their films. Even though it's my voice, I'm a storyteller.”

“I was the walrus, but now I am John. And so my friends, you'll just have to carry on. The dream is over.”

“Sincerity is an openness of heart; we find it in very few people; what we usually see is only an artful dissimulation to win the confidence of others.”

“I made the decision to quit show business. Give up the skintight dresses and manicured smiles. The false concern over sentimental lyrics. I would never again work to make people smile inanely and would take on the responsibility of making them think.”

“Do the things that interest you and do them with all your heart.”
