More quotes by Elizabeth Taylor
Every breath you take today should be with someone else in mind.
Elizabeth Taylor
I was born with scoliosis. I have a double curvature of the spine, and it's forced me to use a wheelchair because the disease has really taken hold. It really saddens me that I can't ride.
Elizabeth Taylor
I always wanted to have a fragrance, and I always wanted to be able to connect with people in ways other than through film.
Elizabeth Taylor
I have never felt more alive than when I watched my children delight in something, never more alive than when I have watched a great artist perform, and never richer than when I have scored a big check to fight AIDS.
Elizabeth Taylor
I just loved the feeling of flying. I could jump six feet bareback and it was the closest thing to being Pegasus and flying next to God. It's the most liberating freedom-making feeling in the world.
Elizabeth Taylor
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.
Elizabeth Taylor
All I see in the mirror every morning is a face that needs washing.
Elizabeth Taylor
Success is a great deodorant. It takes away all your past smells.
Elizabeth Taylor
The public library is more than a repository of books. It's a mysterious, wondrous place with the power to change lives.
Elizabeth Taylor
I was so strictly brought up that the only time I could get away would be on my own pony. I could ride wherever I wanted on my godfather's estate in Kent.I wasn't brought up to be afraid of anything.
Elizabeth Taylor
I hate being called Liz, because it can sound like such a hiss.
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
I'm not worried about dying. I consult with God, my maker. And I don't have a lot of problems to work out. I'm pretty squared anyway.
Elizabeth Taylor
I mean, how many young women get a set of rubies just for doing something wholesome like swimming laps? Or win a diamond ring at Ping-Pong with their husband... ? Well, I did, and for all of these memories and the people in my life I feel blessed.
Elizabeth Taylor
I don't have a set pattern. I take things as they come. Usually with a great amount of relish. I just lay back and wait for it to happen. And it usually does.
Elizabeth Taylor
You just do it. You force yourself to get up. You force yourself to put one foot before the other, and God damn it, you refuse to let it get to you. You fight. You cry. You curse. Then you go about the business of living. That's how I've done it. There's no other way.
Elizabeth Taylor
I've never had an acting lesson. I've never been given techniques. Everything I've done is invented. I just sort of found out [how to do it].
Elizabeth Taylor
... there is no deodorant like success.
Elizabeth Taylor
You find out who your real friends are when you're involved in a scandal.
Elizabeth Taylor
I'm loud and I'm vulgar, and I wear the pants in the house because somebody's got to, but I am not a monster. I'm not.
Elizabeth Taylor
