    The worst part of this quote is that, in the original, she (Marilyn Monroe) actually framed her “worst”:

    >I’m selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can’t handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don’t deserve me at my best.

    So in the context it sounds more like “here are my flaws - take me or leave me, but you won’t change me”. Which sounds reasonable. But without that context it sounds more like “I’m entitled because I like to pretend that I’m above other people”.
