Marlene Dietrich

Marlene Dietrich
It's the friend you call up at four o'clock in the morning that really matters.
Marlene Dietrich

Marlene Dietrich
The average man is more interested in a woman who is interested in him than he is in a woman with beautiful legs.
Marlene Dietrich
Glamour is what I sell, it's my stock in trade.
Marlene Dietrich
...it gives you the impression that every day is Sunday.
Marlene Dietrich
H is for Hardware store: I'd rather go to the hardware store than the opera. And I like the opera.
Marlene Dietrich
Judging by the vast amount of cookbooks printed and sold in the United States one would think the American woman a fanatical cook. She isn't.
Marlene Dietrich
A king, realizing his incompetence, can either delegate or abdicate his duties. A father can do neither. If only sons could see the paradox, they would understand the dilemma.
Marlene Dietrich
There's something about an American soldier you can't explain. They're so grateful for anything, even a film actress coming to see them.
Marlene Dietrich
