It's better being completely ridiculous than unbelievably boring.
I don't mind living in a man's world as long as I can be a woman in it.
Someday I want to have children and give them all the love I never had.
It’s easier to look sexy when you’re thinking of one man in particular.
I love to do the things the censors won't pass.
Just because you fail once doesn't mean you're gonna fail at everything.
I remember when I got the part in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. Jane Russell - she was the brunette in it and I was the blonde. She got $200,000 for it, and I got my $500 a week, but that to me was, you know, considerable. She, by the way, was quite wonderful to me. The only thing was I couldn't get a dressing room. Finally, I really got to this kind of level and I said, "Look, after all, I am the blonde, and it is Gentlemen Prefer Blondes!" Because still they always kept saying, "Remember, you're not a star." I said, "Well, whatever I am, I am the blonde!
A career is a wonderful thing, but you can't snuggle up to it at night.
If you can make a girl laugh, you can make her do anything.
There isn't anybody that looks like me without clothes on.
No girl should ever forget that she doesn't need anyone who doesn't need her.
For those who are poor in happiness, each time is a first time; happiness never becomes a habit.
Being a movie star was never as much fun as dreaming of being one.
The real lover is the man who can thrill you by kissing your forehead.
