infinitemarilynmonroe:“I think I had many problems as the next starletkeeping the Hollywood wolves from my door. These wolves just could not understandme. They would tell me, ‘But Marilyn, you’re not playing the game the way youshould. Be smart. You’ll never get anywhere in this business acting the way youdo.’ My answer to them would be, ‘The only acting I’ll do is for the camera.’ Iwas determined; no one was going to use me or my body—even if he could help mycareer. I’ve never gone out with a man I didn’t want to. No one, not even thestudio, could force me to date someone. The one thing I hate more than anythingelse is being used. I’ve always worked hard for the sake of someday becoming atalented actress. I knew I would make it someday if I only kept at it andworked hard without lowering my principles and pride in myself.”- Marilyn MonroePhoto by Larry Barbier, 1951. -- source link
