More quotes by Elizabeth Taylor
The most sensible thing to do to people you hate is to drink their brandy.
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
When I'm not with the one I love, I love the one I'm with.
Elizabeth Taylor
Originally, we were going to set up a cappuccino bar in the showroom, but we've been so busy, ... We decided when we're old and grey, we're going to set up a coffee shop, and we formed the company about 18 months ago when we thought of the name. It's going to be TLC - Tastes Like Chocolate.
Elizabeth Taylor
You can always avert throwing yourself in front of an oncoming train. There is something that just pulls you away - and it has pulled me away, because I'm not dead yet - just at the brink of impact. Sometimes I have been really grazed by that train.
Elizabeth Taylor
I will love Michael Jackson forever.
Elizabeth Taylor
Everything was handed to me - looks, fame, wealth, honour, love. I rarely had to fight for anything
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
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
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
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
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
Sometimes I think we know too much about our idols and that spoils the dream.
Elizabeth Taylor
So much is said with the electricity of the eyes, the intensity of a whisper. Less is more.
Elizabeth Taylor
I have a woman's body and a child's emotions.
Elizabeth Taylor
On Michael Jackson and child stardom: He had one of the worst childhoods ever. I think I had the second.
Elizabeth Taylor
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.
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 you can't laugh at yourself, you're cooked!
Elizabeth Taylor
Every breath you take today should be with someone else in mind.
Elizabeth Taylor
