More quotes by Elizabeth Taylor

Image
To me, acting is a matter of absolute concentration. You can laugh and giggle with your friends up to the minute the director says, Action! Then you snap your mind into shape and into the character that you're playing and relate to the people that you're acting with and forget everybody else that you've been joking with.

I don't have a short temper, I just have a quick reaction to bullshit
Elizabeth Taylor
Image
I don't like my voice. I don't like the way I look. I don't like the way I move. I don't like the way I act. I mean, period. So, you know, I don't like myself.
Elizabeth Taylor
Image
Everything was handed to me - looks, fame, wealth, honour, love. I rarely had to fight for anything
Elizabeth Taylor
Image
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.

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.

Image
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.

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.

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.

Image
The public me, the one named Elizabeth Taylor, has become a lot of hokum and fabrication - a bunch of drivel - and I find her slightly revolting.
Elizabeth Taylor
Image
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
Image
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.

Image
It is bad enough that people are dying of AIDS, but no one should die of ignorance.
Elizabeth Taylor
Image
I adore wearing gems, but not because they are mine. You can't possess radiance, you can only admire it.

Everything makes me nervous - except making films.

Being able to go on location and see the world was the greatest perk of all.
Elizabeth Taylor
Image
It's amazing the gymnastics you can do when you don't want to do something. How you can force yourself against all the forces of nature. I threw myself backward.
Elizabeth Taylor
Image
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.

I sweat real sweat and I shake real shakes.
