"I don’t mind living in a man’s world as long as I can be a woman in it."

“I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.”

“I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.”

“Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.”

“A wise girl kisses but doesn't love, listens but doesn't believe, and leaves before she is left.”

“This life is what you make it. Not matter what, you're going to mess up sometimes, it's a universal truth. But the good part is you get to decide how you're going to mess it up. Girls will be your friends - they'll act like it anyway. But just remember, some come, somg go. The ones that stay with you through everything - they're your true best friends. Don't let go of them. Also remember, sisters make the best friends in the world. As for lovers, well, they'll come and go too. And babve, I hate to say it, most of them - actually pretty much all of them are going to break your heart, but you can't give up becuase if you give up, you'll never find your soul mate. You'll never find that half who makes you whole and that goes for everything. Just because you fail once, doesn't mean you're gonna fail at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don't, then who will, sweetie? So keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life's a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about.”

“The real lover is the man who can thrill you by kissing your forehead or smiling into your eyes or just staring into space.”

“If you're gonna be two-faced at least make one of them pretty.”

“It's better to be unhappy alone than unhappy with someone.”

“Ever notice how 'What the hell' is always the right answer?”

“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.”

“Give a girl the right shoes, and she can conquer the world.”

“We should all start to live before we get too old. Fear is stupid. So are regrets.”

“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.”

“She was a girl who knew how to be happy even when she was sad. And that’s important—you know ”

“Beneath the makeup and behind the smile I am just a girl who wishes for the world.”

“I don't mind living in a man's world, as long as I can be a woman in it.”

“All little girls should be told they are pretty, even if they aren't.”

“The nicest thing for me is sleep, then at least I can dream.”

“Women who seek to be equal with men lack ambition.”

“It's not true that I had nothing on. I had the radio on.”

“You believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself.”

“We are all of us stars, and we deserve to twinkle.”

“If I'd observed all the rules I'd never have got anywhere.”

“It's often just enough to be with someone. I don't need to touch them. Not even talk. A feeling passes between you both. You're not alone.”

“I want to grow old without facelifts. I want to have the courage to be loyal to the face I have made.”

“Success makes so many people hate you. I wish it wasn't that way. It would be wonderful to enjoy success without seeing envy in the eyes of those around you.”

“Dogs never bite me. Just humans.”

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

“I don't know who invented high heels, but all women owe him a lot!”

“I don't want to make money, I just want to be wonderful.”

“You never know what life is like, until you have lived it.”

“I restore myself when I'm alone.”

“Keep smiling, because life is a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about.”

“It's all make believe, isn't it?”

“Diamonds are a girls best friend.”

“Sometimes things fall apart so that better things can fall together”

“I don't mind being burdened with being glamorous and sexual. Beauty and femininity are ageless and can't be contrived, and glamour, although the manufacturers won't like this, cannot be manufactured. Not real glamour; it's based on femininity.”

“I'm very definitely a woman and I enjoy it. ”

“Hollywood is a place where they'll pay you a thousand dollars for a kiss and fifty cents for your soul. I know, because I turned down the first offer often enough and held out for the fifty cents.”

“I have feelings too. I am still human. All I want is to be loved, for myself and for my talent. ”

“What do I wear in bed? Why, Chanel No. 5, of course”

“If I play a stupid girl and ask a stupid question, I've got to follow it through, what am I supposed to do, look intelligent?”

“I used to think as I looked out on the Hollywood night — there must be thousands of girls sitting alone like me, dreaming of becoming a movie star. But I'm not going to worry about them. I'm dreaming the hardest.”

“I'm pretty, but I'm not beautiful.I'm sin, but I'm not the devil.I'm good, but I'm not an angel.I am just a small girl in a big world trying to find someone to love.”

“All a girl really wants is for one guy to prove to her that they are not all the same.”

“I've been on a calendar, but never on time.”

“Friendship is the bestiest thing that comes to life . Friends will always be there for you don't worry about the fakes worry about the people who had your back from the start and never treated you wrong always remember they are your real friends don't never take them as granted because one day your going to lose a good friend by the way your action's are when you see a good friend stick to that person .”

“Wanting to be someone else is a waste of the person you are.”

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

“When you have a good friend that really cares for you and tries to stick in there with you, you treat them like nothing. Learn to be a good friend because one day you're gonna look up and say I lost a good friend. Learn how to be respectful to your friends, don't just start arguments with them and don't tell them the reason, always remember your friends will be there quicker than your family. Learn to remember you got great friends, don't forget that and they will always care for you no matter what. Always remember to smile and look up at what you got in life.”

“This life is what you make it. Not matter what, you're going to mess up sometimes, it's a universal truth. But the good part is you get to decide how you're going to mess it up. Girls will be your friends - they'll act like it anyway. But just remember, some come, somg go. The ones that stay with you through everything - they're your true best friends. Don't let go of them.”

“A sex symbol becomes a thing. I hate being a thing.”

“I have too many fantasies to be a housewife.... I guess I am a fantasy.”

“I knew I belonged to the public and to the world, not because I was talented or even beautiful, but because I had never belonged to anything or anyone else.”

“I live to suceed, not to please you or anyone else.”

“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.”

“Some people have been unkind. If I say I want to grow as an actress, they look at my figure. If I say I want to develop, to learn my craft, they laugh. Somehow they don't expect me to be serious about my work.”

“A career is wonderful, but you can't curl up with it on a cold night”

“How wrong it is for a woman to expect the man to build the world she wants, rather than to create it herself.”

“Boys think girls are like books, If the cover doesn't catch their eye they won't bother to read what's inside".”

“Dreaming about being an actress, is more exciting then being one.”

“If you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.”

“Looking back, I guess I used to play-act all the time. For one thing, it meant I could live in a more interesting world than the one around me.”

Love and work are the only two real things in our lives. They belong together, otherwise it is off. Work is in itself a form of love.”

“I read poetry to save time.”

“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”

“I'm for the individual as opposed to the corporation. The way it is the individual is the underdog, and with all the things a corporation has going for them the individual comes out banged on her head. The artist is nothing. It's really tragic. ”

“Just because you fall once, doesn't mean you're fall at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always trust yourself, because if you don't then who will??”

“The thing I want more than anything else? I want to have children. I used to feel for every child I had, I would adopt another.”

“Everyone's a star and deserves the right to twinkle.”

“To all the girls that think you’re fat because you’re not a size zero, you’re the beautiful one, its society who’s ugly.”

“It’s better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.”

“The trouble with censors is that they worry if a girl has cleavage. They ought to worry if she hasn't any.”

“Your clothes should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to show you're a lady”

“No one ever told me I was pretty when I was a little girl. All little girls should be told they're pretty, even if they aren't.”

“I want to grow old without facelifts... I want to have the courage to be loyal to the face I've made. Sometimes I think it would be easier to avoid old age, to die young, but then you'd never complete your life, would you? You'd never wholly know you.”

“She was a girl who knew how to be happy even when she was sad”

“There's only one sort of natural blonde on earth - albinos.”

“That's the way you feel when you're beaten inside. You don't feel angry at those who've beaten you. You just feel ashamed.”

“I could never pretend something I didn't feel. I could never make love if I didn't love, and if I loved I could no more hide the fact than change the color of my eyes.”

“When you're young and healthy you can plan on Monday to commit suicide, and by Wednesday you're laughing again.”

“I am good, but not an angel. I do sin, but I am not the devil. I am pretty, but not beautiful. I have friends, but I am not the peacemaker.”

“So keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life's a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about.”

“I wanted to ask a thousand questions, but there was no one to ask. Besides I knew that people only told lies to children-lies about everything from soup to Santa Claus.”

“For those who are poor in happiness, each time is a first time; happiness never becomes a habit.”

“Men are always ready to respect anything that bores them.”

“Suicide, is a persons privilege. I don't believe it's a sin or a crime it's your right if you do. Though it doesn't get you anywhere.”

“Trying to build myself up with the fact that I have done things right that were even good and have had moments that were excellent but the bad is heavier to carry around and feel have no confidence.”

“People had a habit of looking at me as if I were some kind of mirror instead of a person. They didn't see me, they saw their own lewd thoughts, then they white-masked themselves by calling me the lewd one.”

“But chiefly, no lies! No lies about there being a Santa Claus or about the world being full of noble and honorable people all eager to help each other and do good to each other. I'll tell her there are honor and goodness in the world, the same as there are diamonds and radium.”

“I would have told her then she was the only thing that I could love in this dying world but the simple word "love" itself already died and went away.”

“If you're going to be two faced, at least make one of them pretty.”

“If a man doesn't want you at your worst, then he sure as hell doesn't deserve you at your best.”

“A girl doesn't need anyone who doesn't need her”

“Beneath the make-up & behind the smile I'm just the girl who wishes for the world”

“I just want to be wonderful.”
