I didn't pay much attention to the whistles and whoops, in fact, I didn't quite hear them. I was full of a strange feeling, as if I were two people. One of them was Norma Jeane from the orphanage who belonged to nobody; the other was someone whose name I didn't know. But I knew where she belonged; she belonged to the ocean and the sky and the whole world.

You can read about yourself but what's important is how you feel about yourself.

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

Too often they don't realize what they have until it's gone. ...they're too stubborn to say, 'Sorry, I was wrong' they hurt the ones closest to their hearts, and we let the most foolish things tear us apart

The happiest time of my life is now.

I won't be satisfied until people want to hear me sing without looking at me. Of course, that doesn't mean I want them to stop looking.

When it comes down to it, I let them think what they want. If they care enough to bother with what I do, then I'm already better than them.
