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.

More quotes by Liza Minnelli
To the general public, show business may just mean the artistic part, but the dollar and cents element is the reality every performer has to face.
Liza Minnelli
But I don't think there's any reason to get married again, especially after what I've been through.
Liza Minnelli
Anything is possible in this world. I really believe that.
Liza Minnelli
My mother gave me my drive but my father gave me my dreams.
Liza Minnelli
Well, we have theatrical parties. It's not me singing. People like to get up and jam on the piano.
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
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
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
Well, when I was growing up it was Ozzie and Harriet on TV - nobody's parents were like that.
Liza Minnelli
Reality is something you rise above.
Liza Minnelli
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.
Liza Minnelli
Now, having had this experience, I can't say really what they were looking for. I don't know their minds. But every time I see a reality show, it seems that the most entertaining parts on other reality shows are when they make their guests look foolish.
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
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
Some people think reality must be constantly depressing, but I think reality is something you rise above.
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
Bleeding feet will bond us.
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
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
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.
