I hate myself on the screen. I want to die ... my voice is either too high or too gravelly. I want to dive under the carpet.... I'd love to be tall and willowy ... I'm short.

More quotes by 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.

I've never had an acting lesson. I've never been given techniques. Everything I've done is invented. I just sort of found out [how to do it].
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
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 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
I don't love acting I love chocolate.
Elizabeth Taylor
Michael Jackson is one of the most normal people I know.
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
The public library is more than a repository of books. It's a mysterious, wondrous place with the power to change lives.
Elizabeth Taylor
I don't have a short temper, I just have a quick reaction to bullshit
Elizabeth Taylor
Just in case you get pneumonia or die. The dangerous bits are always the last days of shooting.
Elizabeth Taylor
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.
Elizabeth Taylor
I hate being called Liz, because it can sound like such a hiss.
Elizabeth Taylor
I love to be casual and comfortable, but I also love the easy glamour of wearing jewelry all the time.
Elizabeth Taylor
It is strange that the years teach us patience that the shorter our time, the greater our capacity for waiting.
Elizabeth Taylor
