Marlene Dietrich's Quotes
- [on The Blue Angel (1930), German-language version of The Blue Angel (1930)] I thought everything we were doing was awful. They kept a camera pointed here [at my groin]. I was so young and dumb.
- I am not a myth.
- I never enjoyed working in a film.
- [in 1964] I had no desire to be a film actress, to always play somebody else, to be beautiful with somebody constantly straightening out your every eyelash. It was always a big bother to me.
- In Europe, it doesn't matter if you're a man or a woman - we make love with anyone we find attractive.
