More quotes by Elizabeth Taylor
I never tried to act until A Place in the Sun.
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
The most sensible thing to do to people you hate is to drink their brandy.
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 haven't read any of the autobiographies about me.
Elizabeth Taylor

Elizabeth Taylor
I'm not like anyone. I'm me.
Elizabeth Taylor

Follow your passions, follow your heart, and the things you need will come.
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
I use my fame now when I want to help a cause or other people.
Elizabeth Taylor
There's no deodorant like success.
Elizabeth Taylor
[On Antony's death] Strange, there has never been... such a silence.
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
