More quotes by Marlene Dietrich
I never ever took my career seriously.
Marlene Dietrich
When you prostitute yourself, you have to get paid for it.
Marlene Dietrich
I love quotations because it is a joy to find thoughts one might have, beautifully expressed with much authority by someone recognized wiser than oneself.
Marlene Dietrich
In Europe, it doesn't matter if you're a man or a woman - we make love with anyone we find attractive.
Marlene Dietrich
You can't live without illusions, even if you must fight for them.
Marlene Dietrich
Superstitions are habits rather than beliefs.
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
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
To be completely woman you need a master, and in him a compass for your life. You need a man you can look up to and respect. If you dethrone him it's no wonder that you are discontented, and discontented women are not loved for long.
Marlene Dietrich
Habit: Often mistaken for love.
Marlene Dietrich
It's the friends you can call up at 4 a.m. that matter.
Marlene Dietrich
I do not think that we have a “right” to happiness. If happiness happens, say thanks.
Marlene Dietrich
On Teasing : Teach your teen-age daughters not to tease boys into physical desire. You might save their lives.
Marlene Dietrich
He [Ernest Hemingway] is gentle, as all real men are gentle without tenderness, a man is uninteresting.
Marlene Dietrich
Most people who make movies are in real life a bitter disappointment. I, on the other hand, am so much better in real life.
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
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
Friendship is a precious gift that can't be bought or sold. It's value is greater than mountains made of gold. If you shall ask God for a gift be thankful if he sends not diamonds pearls or riches but the love and trust of friends. It is the friends you can call up at 4 a.m. that matter.
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
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
