More quotes by Elizabeth Taylor
I left home as soon as I could, when I was 18. I thought I was in love and got married - the press called it Prince Charming and Cinderella. He was a Hilton so I was the poor little Cinderella. And when I got a divorce nine months later I never told the court why, but he was cruel.
Elizabeth Taylor
Without homosexuals there'd be no Hollywood.
Elizabeth Taylor
Acting is, to me now, artificial. Seeing people suffer is real. It couldn't be more real. Some people don't like to look at it in the face because it's painful. But if nobody does, then nothing gets done.
Elizabeth Taylor
I hate to try to be that person in my own skin, in my own way, in my own head, not through exercises or anything else, just by, I guess, belief, concentration.
Elizabeth Taylor
I love to be casual and comfortable, but I also love the easy glamour of wearing jewelry all the time.
Elizabeth Taylor
A name no longer carries a film. People used to go to the cinema to see a John Wayne film. And you don't have that thing happening now except in the rock world, which has taken the event out of movies.
Elizabeth Taylor
I use my fame now when I want to help a cause or other people.
Elizabeth Taylor
I call upon you to draw from the depths of your being - to prove that we are a human race, to prove that our love outweighs our need to hate, that our compassion is more compelling than our need to blame.
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
Everything was handed to me - looks, fame, wealth, honour, love. I rarely had to fight for anything
Elizabeth Taylor
I haven't read any of the autobiographies about me.
Elizabeth Taylor
I adore wearing gems, but not because they are mine. You can't possess radiance, you can only admire it.
Elizabeth Taylor
I will love Michael Jackson forever.
Elizabeth Taylor
When people say, 'She's got everything', I've got one answer - I haven't had tomorrow.
Elizabeth Taylor
I have a woman's body and a child's emotions.
Elizabeth Taylor
I feel very adventurous. There are so many doors to be opened, and I'm not afraid to look behind them.
Elizabeth Taylor
Marilyn Monroe seemed to have a kind of unconscious glow about her physical self that was innocent, like a child. When she posed nude, it was 'Gee, I am kind of, you know, sort of dishy,' like she enjoyed it without being egotistical.
Elizabeth Taylor
I've never thought of my jewelry as trophies. I'm here to take care of it and to love it, for we are only temporary custodians of beauty.
Elizabeth Taylor
I know I'm vulgar, but would you have me any other way?
Elizabeth Taylor
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.
Elizabeth Taylor
