"I've never fooled anyone. I've let people..." - Quote by Marilyn Monroe
I've never fooled anyone. I've let people fool themselves. They didn't bother to find out who and what I was. Instead they would invent a character for me. I wouldn't argue with them. They were obviously loving somebody I wasn't.

The fact is that you cannot help living in the manner appropriate and developing the ideology appropriate to your income.”
“I have things that are strident and confrontational, and I have a lot of things that are childlike and innocent and sort of sweet. So, somewhere in between lies the middle of me.”
“Your mistake does not define who you are...you are your possibilities.”
