“I learned to walk as a baby, and I haven't had a lesson since.” — Marilyn Monroe Quote

I learned to walk as a baby, and I haven't had a lesson since.

Fame is fickle, and I know it. It has its compensations but it also has its drawbacks, and I've experienced them both.

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

I am invariably late for appointments - sometimes as much as two hours. I've tried to change my ways but the things that make me late are too strong, and too pleasing.

I often wake up in the night, and I like to have something to think about.

It was like I had a baby and I suddenly started to feel I could play anything.

The doctors say it dates back to a film where I had these huge prosthetic breasts because my character was breast-feeding. The weight of them, and of the baby, did my back in.

I was brought up Methodist, christened as a little baby and went to church every Sunday.

When I started modeling, I was definitely heavier. I was quite voluptuous in fact. I had a real baby face and baby fat. But I was a baby! I was told I had to get into better shape, but I'm quite stubborn so I didn't.

If you desire to drain to the dregs the fullest cup of scorn and hatred that a fellow human being can pour out for you, let a young mother hear you call dear baby 'it.'
