Dita Von Teese People Quotations

I'm a designer, producer and I am hands-on for every project I undertake. The creative side of what I do is really something I think people overlooked for a while.

Thanks to my mother, people tell me I look younger than I am, especially without make-up. And I suppose my father had a part in making me more frugal with my money.

I really enjoy watching people like Madonna, or Cher, or Barbra Streisand on the red carpet. I want to see people wearing exciting things that are different and to know that they're not just looking for the latest, most normal thing.

I'd say the only time I ever get nervous is around great ballet dancers or people I really admire.

I make a point to never, ever point out my physical flaws... this is advice I give to women as often as I can. People don't notice the things we see in ourselves that we hate, so why direct them to it?

Me personally, I want to entertain people above all. When you look back at burlesque in history and the real golden age of burlesque, those entertainers were there to entertain, and there wasn't usually some big political message behind what they were doing.

I want to remind people of a different kind of glamour, a different look, and breaking the rules of fashion. I wanna break the rules.

When people say I look intimidating, it's hard for me to relate to. I hear that a lot. I don't know why.

I like when people know who they are, know their limitations and what they want to do. It's the same thing for me.

I've always loved the idea of not being what people expect me to be.

People who follow all the rules and chase every trend tend to get forgotten - they look great, but they're not as memorable.
