Marilyn was a great actress, not a dumb blond bombshell. She was very smart, very astute and a good businesswoman.

Marilyn was terrible to work with. I was fond of her, she was a nice girl, but she was a damaged girl. She was very difficult. You couldn't get her on the set; she didn't know the words.

I just feel a connection with Marilyn Monroe. I just love her. I just completely feel what she went through.

I loved the movies and I wanted to be like Marilyn Monroe. I thought she was so glamorous and everyone seemed to love her. I wanted to be like that and I told everyone I would be the next Marilyn Monroe.

I've always been drawn to Marilyn Monroe, but certain aspects of her story may be too sad to tell.

My favorite actress is Marilyn Monroe.

Vivien Leigh was a phenomenal actress, a very complicated woman, living on the edge of mental problems, haunted by demons and angels. And though I've never thought of myself like Marilyn Monroe, I was inspired by the tremendous risk she took - of being vulnerable.

When I was growing up watching Marilyn Monroe, I learned that you can be very beautiful, very glamorous and very vulnerable and not give up your soul just because you were a movie star.

I know a lot of people think, 'She's so glamorous.' But that's really not me at all.
