More quotes by Liza Minnelli
You see, that's another thing that my parents gave me: an enormously great sense of humor.
Liza Minnelli
Reality is something you rise above.
Liza Minnelli
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
I worked very hard, but I think it's unfair to make it all sound like it's all David's fault.
Liza Minnelli
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.
Liza Minnelli
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.
Liza Minnelli
Bleeding feet will bond us.
Liza Minnelli
I came out of the womb looking for the camera angle
Liza Minnelli
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.
Liza Minnelli
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.
Liza Minnelli
I have two false hips, a wired-up right knee, two crushed discs and scoliosis. If I don't dance, I seize up.
Liza Minnelli
Well, when I was growing up it was Ozzie and Harriet on TV - nobody's parents were like that.
Liza Minnelli
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.
Liza Minnelli
You don't know how to handle anything today, because you have to go to jail to get some press or fall down drunk.
Liza Minnelli
My mother gave me my drive but my father gave me my dreams.
Liza Minnelli
(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.
Liza Minnelli
What I'm saying is that I tried very hard to give them my reality and my reality is kind of interesting.
Liza Minnelli
Well, we have theatrical parties. It's not me singing. People like to get up and jam on the piano.
Liza Minnelli
You have to work hard for it, but first you have to want it, and then you have to dream on it.
Liza Minnelli
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
