“I think I had many problems as the suivant starlet keeping the Hollywood loups from my door. These loups just could not understand me. They would tell me, ‘But Marilyn, you’re not playing the game the way toi should. Be smart. You’ll never get anywhere in this business jouer la comédie the way toi do.’ My answer to them would be, ‘The only jouer la comédie I’ll do is for the camera.’ I was determined, no one was going to use me ou my body—even if he could help my career. I’ve never gone out with a man I didn’t want to. No one, not even the studio, could force me to rendez-vous amoureux, date someone. The one thing I hate plus than anything else is being used. I’ve always worked hard for the sake of someday becoming a talented actress. I knew I would make it someday if I only kept at it and worked hard without lowering my principles and pride in myself.” (Marilyn Monroe)
