Marlene Dietrich

Latins are tenderly enthusiastic. In Brazil they throw flowers at you. In Argentina they throw themselves.

The weak are more likely to make the strong weak than the strong are likely to make the weak strong.

I'm worth more dead than alive. Don't cry for me after I'm gone; cry for me now.

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.

Most women set out to try to change a man, and when they have changed him they do not like him.

I never enjoyed working in a film.

There is a gigantic difference between earning a great deal of money and being rich.

I dress for the image. Not for myself, not for the public, not for fashion, not for men.

It's the friends you can call up at 4 a.m. that matter.
