More quotes by Liza Minnelli

Image
Growing up in Hollywood it seemed like every kid was the child of some star. We had no idea that other people would think we were special, because there was no other lifestyle to compare it to.
Liza Minnelli
Image
Dream on it. Let your mind take you to places you would like to go, and then think about it and plan it and celebrate the possibilities. And don't listen to anyone who doesn't know how to dream.
Liza Minnelli
Image
But God really did bless me, you know? He really said, All right. Come on. I'm still waiting for you. Get over here. Get over here.
Liza Minnelli
Image
Some people think reality must be constantly depressing, but I think reality is something you rise above.
Liza Minnelli
Image
I consider myself an actress first, a dancer second, and a singer third. Why? Because the dancer needs a reason to move-that's the actor informing the dancer. So I worked on my acting and gradually developed a singing voice.

Maybe what a gay icon is, is a person who is rooted for — in other words, cheered on — by people who feel different.

You have to work hard for it, but first you have to want it, and then you have to dream on it.

Well, we have theatrical parties. It's not me singing. People like to get up and jam on the piano.

She (Judy Garland) was a friend of mine, a trying friend, but a friend. That is what I tell myself: She did everything she ever wanted to do. She never really denied herself anything for me. See, I say, she had a wonderful life she did what she wanted to do. And I have no right to change her fulfillment into my misery. I'm on my own broom now.

I know that. I'm having a ball. I'm not slap happy. I'm just filled up with joy and with peace and with all kinds of things that have eluded me for quite a few years. And they're back and they're thriving.
Liza Minnelli
Image
I'm always looking at the next thing. I'm too curious to look back...it's very hard to be unhappy when you're curious and grateful. You're busy. You don't have time to be unhappy. My biggest talent is I know who is more talented than I am. I find them and I go to them, and I learn.

(in the film That's Entertainment! - 1974) Thank God for film, it can capture a moment and hold it there forever. If anyone ever asks you: Who were they? or What made them so good? I think a reel of film answers that question.

Initially, I wanted to be an ice skater, but then when I was 13 I saw Bye Bye Birdie, and that was it - I wanted to be on Broadway.

Anything is possible in this world. I really believe that.

I had a one day slip, Matt. So what do you do? You get up and you go on, and you try not to do it again.

Image
I believe all drunks go to heaven, because they've been through hell on Earth.
Liza Minnelli
Image
I have two false hips, a wired-up right knee, two crushed discs and scoliosis. If I don't dance, I seize up.

He [Gene Kelly] once told me dancing was a man's game, as much of a sport as baseball itself. And he made us believe that. He changed our minds and suddenly, all of America wanted to dance just like Gene Kelly.
