More quotes by Elizabeth Taylor
All I see in the mirror every morning is a face that needs washing.
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
The most sensible thing to do to people you hate is to drink their brandy.
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 sweat real sweat and I shake real shakes.
Elizabeth Taylor
[On Antony's death] Strange, there has never been... such a silence.
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
Success is a great deodorant.
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 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
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
John Wayne is as tough as an old nut and as soft as a yellow ribbon.
Elizabeth Taylor
Sometimes I think we know too much about our idols and that spoils the dream.
Elizabeth Taylor
Pour yourself a drink, put on some lipstick, and pull yourself together.
Elizabeth Taylor
I've always admitted that I'm ruled by my passions.
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
Seems like we always spend the best part of our time just saying goodbye.
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 feel like 45. I don't look bad for someone my age, with my history of illnesses and operations and all those anesthetics. When they knock you out, it gives you time to catch up on your beauty sleep.
Elizabeth Taylor
What is a genius? What is a living legend? What is a megastar? Michael Jackson -- that's all. And when you think you know him, he gives you more. I think he is one of the finest people to hit this planet, and, in my estimation, he is the true King of Pop, Rock and Soul.
