I used to think as I looked out on the Hollywood night – there must be thousands of girls sitting alone like me, dreaming of becoming a movie star. But I'm not going to worry about them. I'm dreaming the hardest.

About This Quote

I used to think as I looked out on the Hollywood night — there must be thousands of girls sitting alone like me, dreaming of becoming a movie star. But I'm not going to worry about them. I'm dreaming the hardest. The realists would say that no matter what you do in life, there will be someone who is happy that you did it while the dreamers would say that there is no one who deserves success more than anyone else.

In this quote, Marilyn Monroe is saying one thing and saying it in a way that reflects her true feelings. She is well aware of the fact that it will always be easier for someone else to achieve their dreams so she chooses to take things into her own hands rather than wait for everyone else to do it for her.
