More quotes by Marlene Dietrich

Marlene Dietrich

Marlene Dietrich
I was raised almost entirely on turnips and potatoes, but I think that the turnips had more to do with the effect than the potatoes.
Marlene Dietrich
I had no desire to be an film actress, to always play somebody else, to be always beautiful with somebody constantly straightening out your every eyelash. It was always a big bother to me.
Marlene Dietrich
On Teasing : Teach your teen-age daughters not to tease boys into physical desire. You might save their lives.
Marlene Dietrich
Glamour is what I sell, it's my stock in trade.
