As women, we all have certain weaknesses. I know one who can't resist pretty shoes but has nothing suitable to wear with them. Others adore frilly lingerie but never have any money to buy outer clothing.

Even the most beautiful legs - Marlene Dietrich's, for instance - look better when the kneecap is covered.

Clothes are the way you present yourself to the world; they affect the way the world feels and thinks about you; subconsciously they affect the way you feel and think about yourself.

Couture has copied my things for years, in addition to countless other costume designers, claiming theirs were the original ideas. It's all part of the business, unfortunately.

Fashion is a language. Some know it, some learn it, some never will - like an instinct.

There's no such thing as a standard size movie star, or woman for that matter.

Marlene Dietrich and Roy Rogers are the only two living humans who should be allowed to wear black leather pants.
