I don't mind making jokes, but I don't want to look like one...

As of today, I have absolutely no regrets. I think I am a mature person who can take things in stride. I'm grateful for people in my past. They helped me get to where I am, wherever that is. But now, I am thinking for myself and sitting in on all the business transactions.

Doing a scene is like opening a bottle. If it doesn't open one way, try another - perhaps even give it up for another bottle?

I never wanted to be Marilyn - it just happened. Marilyn's like a veil I wear over Norma Jeane.

I think that sexuality is only attractive when it's natural and spontaneous.

In Rockford I decided that I had seen enough of the world.

I always have a full-length mirror next to the camera when I'm doing publicity stills. That way, I know how I look.
