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.

I sweat real sweat and I shake real shakes.

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.
Elizabeth Taylor
Image
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
Image
When I'm not with the one I love, I love the one I'm with.
Elizabeth Taylor
Image
Oh, I love red. I'm very loyal to my colors. I love violet.
Elizabeth Taylor
Image
All I see in the mirror every morning is a face that needs washing.
Elizabeth Taylor
Image
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
Image
You can't choose between right and wrong by taking a census.
Elizabeth Taylor
Image
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
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
So much is said with the electricity of the eyes, the intensity of a whisper. Less is more.
Elizabeth Taylor
Image
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.
