1962 July 7th, During further interviews with Merryman at Fifth Helena, when asked about unflattering remarks in the gossip columns Marilyn replied candidly:

I really resent the way the press has been saying I'm depressed and in a slump, as if I'm finished. Nothing's going to sink me, although it might be kind of a relief to be finished with movie-making. That kind of work is like a hundred yard dash and then you're at the finish line, and you sigh and say you've made it. But you never have. There's another scene and another film, and you have to start all over again.

On questions about her future she responded:

I want to be an artist and an actress with integrity. As I said once before, I don't care about the money. I just want to be wonderful.
After the interviews and photo session with Allan Grant were complete, just as Merryman was leaving, Marilyn said to him in a whisper 'please don't make me look like a joke.'
