The One Thing A Person Wants In

(about Her Teen Years) My Admirers All Said The Same Thing In Different Ways. It Was My Fault, Their Wanting To Kiss And Hug Me.

I'm So Many People. They Shock Me Sometimes. I Wish I Was Just Me! I Used To Think I Was Going Crazy, Until I Discovered That Some People I Admired Were Like That To.

I Feel That Beauty And Femininity Are Ageless

I Didn't Pay Much Attention To The Whistles And Whoops, In Fact, I Didn't Quite Hear Them. I Was Full Of A Strange Feeling, As If I Were Two People. One Of Them Was Norma Jeane From The Orphanage Who Belonged To Nobody; The Other Was Someone Whose Name I Didn't Know. But I Knew Where She Belonged; She Belonged To The Ocean And The Sky And The Whole World.

The Studio People Want Me To Do "good-bye Charlie" For The Movies, But I'm Not Going To Do It. I Don't Like The Idea Of Playing A Man In A Woman's Body - You Know? It Just Doesn't Seem Feminine.
