More quotes by Elizabeth Taylor

What is a genius? What is a living legend? What is a megastar? Michael Jackson -- that's all. And when you think you know him, he gives you more. I think he is one of the finest people to hit this planet, and, in my estimation, he is the true King of Pop, Rock and Soul.
Elizabeth Taylor
The things that are important to me - being a mother, a businesswoman, an activist - are all things that were borne out of great passion.

Elizabeth Taylor
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.
Elizabeth Taylor
I like the connection with fans and people who have been supportive of me. And I love the idea of real feedback and a two-way street, which is very, very modern.
Elizabeth Taylor
