The working men, I’ll go by and they’ll whistle. At first they whistle because they think, ‚Oh, it’s a girl. She’s got blond hair and she’s not out of shape,‘ and then they say, ‚Gosh, it’s Marilyn Monroe!‘

I don’t see myself as a pop artist. Like, when you hear ‚pop,‘ you’re like, ‚Oh, bubblegum, jumpy little girly stuff,‘ and I feel like, ‚Uh-uh. That’s not me.‘

Boys will be boys. And even that wouldn’t matter if only we could prevent girls from being girls.

All of us, no matter how we look born into this world, feel something like the Hunchback. It doesn’t matter if you have a beautiful face or not.

Men who think that a woman’s past love affairs lessen her love for them are usually stupid and weak.

Women’s liberation is just a lot of foolishness. It’s men who are discriminated against. They can’t bear children. And no one is likely to do anything about that.

I don’t see myself as beautiful, because I can see a lot of flaws. People have really odd opinions. They tell me I’m skinny, as if that’s supposed to make me happy.

A Scout smiles and whistles under all circumstances.

I didn’t think Marilyn Monroe was beautiful. It used to worry me. I thought maybe I’m not put together like the other chaps.

Not being beautiful was the true blessing. Not being beautiful forced me to develop my inner resources. The pretty girl has a handicap to overcome.

When I was in college my girl got me a job at the doctor’s office she was working at. I was a file clerk. No disrespect but I don’t think a man can do that job. It takes so much meticulous and precise file-keeping.

I always thought that there was nothing an antifeminist would want more than to have women only in women’s organizations, in their own little corner empathizing with each other and not touching a man’s world.

What good is it being Marilyn Monroe? Why can’t I just be an ordinary woman?

Tina Turner is someone that I admire, because she made her strength feminine and sexy. Marilyn Monroe, because she was a curvy woman. I’m drawn to things that have the same kind of silhouettes as what she wore because our bodies are similar.

If I’d been born ugly, you’d never have heard of Pele.

I think all women go through periods where we hate this about ourselves, we don’t like that. It’s great to get to a place where you dismiss anything you’re worried about. I find flaws attractive. I find scars attractive.

To conclude that women are unfitted to the task of our historic society seems to me the equivalent of closing male eyes to female facts.

I definitely feel closer to the feminine side of the human being than I do the male – or the American idea of what a male is supposed to be. Just watch a beer commercial and you’ll see what I mean.

It is easy to be beautiful; it is difficult to appear so.

What’s with you men? Would hair stop growing on your chest if you asked directions somewhere?

I never wanted to be Marilyn – it just happened. Marilyn’s like a veil I wear over Norma Jeane.

People have never looked so ugly as they do today. We just consume far too much.

Come on, you can’t name a truck after a chick.

Ever since I dated a woman, I know what it is to grab a curve on a woman’s body. Skinny’s not fine when the lights are low.

‚I’ll be back‘ always sounded a little girly to me.

Her body calculated to a millimeter to suggest a bud yet guarantee a flower.

Whether women are better than men I cannot say – but I can say they are certainly no worse.

I truly believe that women should be financially independent from their men. And let’s face it, money gives men the power to run the show. It gives men the power to define value. They define what’s sexy. And men define what’s feminine. It’s ridiculous.

I’m so not macho. It’s crazy. My man cave is so not a man cave.

Women are never disarmed by compliments. Men always are. That is the difference between the sexes.

A gender line… helps to keep women not on a pedestal, but in a cage.

A sex symbol becomes a thing. I just hate to be a thing.

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.

It would have been difficult to have an ugly daughter.

I have never had plastic surgery, and there are many pop singers who have.

No one wants to see curvy women.

If I had a time machine, I’d visit Marilyn Monroe in her prime or drop in on Galileo as he turned his telescope to the heavens.

I’m always rather nervous about how you talk about women who are active in politics, whether they want to be talked about as women or as politicians.

Generally speaking, men are held in great esteem in all parts of the world, so why shouldn’t women have their share? Soldiers and war heroes are honored and commemorated, explorers are granted immortal fame, martyrs are revered, but how many people look upon women too as soldiers?

I’ve always had a problem with the average macho man – they’ve always been a threat to me.

Society has made us believe you should look like an 18-year-old model all your life.

You can say, ‚Well, isn’t it unfortunate that chaos is represented by the feminine‘ – well, it might be unfortunate, but it doesn’t matter, because that is how it’s represented. It’s been represented like that forever. And there are reasons for it. You can’t change it. It’s not possible. This is underneath everything.
