10 QUOTES WITH «MONROE»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word Monroe.
1
Rosanna Arquette
I was in Florida with Burt Stern, the photographer who shot Marilyn Monroe on the beach with a sweater, and we smoked a joint. The bathing suit kept coming off in the water, and I just ripped it off. I was very comfortable being naked.
2
Sid Bernstein
I went to James Monroe High School, a big school in the East Bronx. My first promotion was the first alumni reunion dance. I got all the names and addresses out of the yearbook. It came off very well.
3
Melanie Brown
I collect art. I just recently bought two gorgeous photographs of Marilyn Monroe by international photographer Eve Arnold and I know it sounds horrible but when she dies all her pictures are going to be worth triple. But I won't tell you how much I got them for - let's just say it was a lot.
4
Amanda Bynes
I don't want to be Marilyn Monroe. In many ways, that's a good comparison. Because Marilyn Monroe was a sexpot, all that stuff that I have no interest in. For me, it's much easier to just try to make people laugh than to try to be the hottest thing in the world.
5
Helena Christensen
I always loved the style of Jean Seberg, Jane Birkin and Marilyn Monroe.
6
Tabatha Coffey
I've always had a thing for old movies, old Hollywood. I've always just loved watching Marilyn Monroe and Greta Garbo. In all of those old movies from the '40s and '50s, women put themselves together so well, with a little bit of drama and elegance. That was fascinating to me growing up.
7
Morgan Fairchild
I was asked once if I ever got tired of playing bimbos, and I answered that I've never played a bimbo. I've always played smart, manipulative women. Marilyn Monroe and Judy Holliday, who were not stupid, could play stupid really well, but I don't do it well.
8
Sherilyn Fenn
I've always been drawn to Marilyn Monroe, but certain aspects of her story may be too sad to tell.
9
Rebecca Ferguson
I like Marilyn Monroe; she was super glam, weren't she?
10
Edy Ganem
I'm kind of fixated with old Hollywood, like Marilyn Monroe.
