Judy Garland Quotes
“You are never so alone as when you are ill on stage.  The most nightmarish feeling in the world is suddenly to feel like throwing up in front of four thousand people.”

“I was born at the age of twelve on an MGM lot.”

“I think there’s something peculiar about me that I haven’t died.  It doesn’t make sense but I refuse to die.”

“We cast away priceless time in dreams, born of imagination, fed upon illusion, and put to death by reality.”

“Hollywood is a strange place if you’re in trouble.  Everybody thinks it’s contagious.”

“I try to bring the audience’s own drama - tears and laughter they know about - to them.”

“As for my feelings toward ‘Over the Rainbow,’ it’s become part of my life.  It is so symbolic of all my dreams and wishes that I’m sure that’s why people sometimes get tears in their eyes when they hear it.”

“I’ve always taken ‘The Wizard of Oz’ very seriously, you know.  I believe in the idea of the rainbow.  And I’ve spent my entire life trying to get over it.”

“There have been times when I have deliberately tried to take my life...  I think I must have been crying for some attention.”

“If I am a legend, then why am I so lonely?”

“If I’m such a legend, then why am I so lonely?  Let me tell you, legends are all very well if you’ve got somebody around who loves you.”

“It’s lonely and cold on the top...  lonely and cold.”

“I can live without money, but I cannot live without love.”

“In the silence of night I have often wished for just a few words of love from one man, rather than the applause of thousands of people.”

“I’ve seen the ticket, and I still can’t believe it.  When I see the money, I hope I don’t hit the floor.”

“If you have to be in a soap opera try not to get the worst role.”

“’Twas not my lips you kissed but my soul.”

“Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else.”

“Be a first rate version of yourself, not a second rate version of someone else.”

“Behind every cloud is another cloud.”

“For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart.  It was not my lips you kissed, but my soul.”

“How strange when an illusion dies.  It’s as though you’ve lost a child.”

“I wanted to believe and I tried my damndest to believe in the rainbow that I tried to get over and couldn’t.  So what?  Lots of people can’t...”

“I’m the original take-orders girl.”

“I’ve never looked through a keyhole without finding someone was looking back.”
