Elizabeth Taylor Quotes
“Richard Burton is one of the finest actors of this generation.”“I think I’m finally growing up - and about time.” “Everything makes me nervous - except making films.” “I really don’t remember much about Cleopatra. There were a lot of other things going on.” “Some of my best leading men have been dogs and horses.” “You find out who your real friends are when you’re involved in a scandal.” “I’m a survivor - a living example of what people can go through and survive.” “I am a very committed wife. And I should be committed too - for being married so many times.” “Marriage is a great institution.” “The morality I learned at home required marriage. I just couldn’t have an affair. So I got married all those times and now I’m accused of being a scarlet woman.” “I suppose when they reach a certain age some men are afraid to grow up. It seems the older the men get, the younger their new wives get.” “I’ve only slept with men I’ve been married to. How many women can make that claim?” “Richard [Burton] is a very sexy man. He’s got that sort of jungle essence that one can sense.” “My mother says I didn’t open my eyes for eight days after I was born, but when I did, the first thing I saw was an engagement ring. I was hooked.” “It is very strange that the years teach us patience - that the shorter our time, the greater our capacity for waiting.” “Success is a great deodorant.” “A lot of diets aren’t healthy. They’re too radical.” “Big girls need big diamonds.” “I adore wearing gems, but not because they are mine. You can’t possess radiance, you can only admire it.” “I don’t pretend to be an ordinary housewife.” “I don’t think President Bush is doing anything at all about Aids. In fact, I’m not sure he even knows how to spell Aids.” “I feel very adventurous. There are so many doors to be opened, and I’m not afraid to look behind them.” “I fell off my pink cloud with a thud.” “I have a woman’s body and a child’s emotions.” “I haven’t read any of the autobiographies about me.” “I sweat real sweat and I shake real shakes.” “I’ve always admitted that I’m ruled by my passions.” “I’ve been through it all, baby, I’m mother courage.” “If someone’s dumb enough to offer me a million dollars to make a picture, I’m certainly not dumb enough to turn it down.” “It’s not the having, it’s the getting.” “People who know me well, call me Elizabeth. I dislike Liz.” “So much to do, so little done, such things to be.” “The problem with people who have no vices is that generally you can be pretty sure they’re going to have some pretty annoying virtues.” “When people say, ‘She’s got everything’, I’ve got one answer - I haven’t had tomorrow.” |
