We know everything about Marilyn, we know nothing, María Fernández-Miranda recently told us in her article. We are now learning part of what we needed to know thanks to ‘Blonde’, the film starring Ana de Armas.

Today, at magasIN, we wanted to compile the quotes that show us that she was much more than a pretty woman.

1. In Hollywood they pay you a thousand dollars for a kiss and fifty cents for your soul.
2. We should all start living before we get too old. Fear is stupid. So are regrets.
3. A career is born in public, talent in privacy.
4. I am selfish, impatient and a little bit insecure. I make mistakes, I lose control, and I am sometimes difficult to deal with. But if you can’t deal with me at my worst, you definitely don’t deserve me at my best.
5. Sometimes things fall apart, so that better things can come together.
6. I’m trying to find myself as a person, sometimes that’s not easy to do. Millions of people live their entire lives without meeting each other.
7. I don’t know how to make money. I just want to be wonderful.
8. Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius, and it’s better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.
9. Happiness is within one, not next to anyone.
10. A wise girl knows her limits, a smart girl knows she has none.
11. No woman should ever forget that she doesn’t need anyone who doesn’t need her.
12. The truth is that I have never deceived anyone. I have sometimes let men deceive themselves.
13. Respect is one of the great treasures of life.
14. Nobody told me I was pretty when I was a girl. All girls should be told that they are pretty, even if they are not.
15. I restore myself when I am alone.
16. Things go bad to appreciate them when they go well.
17. I’ve learned that men are less likely to let petty things bother them.
18. Designers want me to dress like spring, wearing flowy things. I don’t feel like spring. I feel like a hot red autumn.
19. Being a sex symbol is a heavy burden to carry, especially when one is tired, hurt and bewildered.
20. I’m good, but not an angel. I commit sins, but I am not the devil. I’m just a little girl in a big world trying to find someone to love.
21. One of the best things that has happened to me is being a woman. That’s the way all women should feel.
22. I like to be fully clothed, or if not completely naked. I don’t like half measures.
