Marlene Dietrich (via drmacro)
In this week’s installment of Marlene Explains It All:
Art:
“A much abused word.”
Brassieres:
“In America something strange has happened. A man will turn his head, or whistle, if that is his fashion, on seeing an obvious contraption, a clearly outlined, padded, steel construction under a dress or, even worse, a sweater. This is rather touching and only proves what an idealist man is.”
Habit:
“Often mistaken for love.”
Envy:
“I do not know envy. I do not know how this happened. I can only guess that I was taught to enjoy things regardless of ownership.”
Intimacy:
“There are more imaginary specks of dust casually brushed off gentlemen’s shoulders by women wanting to show intimacy in public than there are real specks of dust desirous of settling on gentlemen’s shoulders.”
