More quotes by 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
My mother was an artist and highly strung, whereas my father was much calmer.
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
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
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
Reality is something you rise above.
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
I believe all drunks go to heaven, because they've been through hell on Earth.
Liza Minnelli
Bleeding feet will bond us.
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
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
(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
I'm not a very good singer. I just know how to present a song, and honey, I think I've been through enough to do it right.
Liza Minnelli
Anything is possible in this world. I really believe that.
Liza Minnelli
I rely on regular chiropractic care to keep in shape for my strenuous type of acting and singing.
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.
Liza Minnelli
Maybe what a gay icon is, is a person who is rooted for — in other words, cheered on — by people who feel different.
Liza Minnelli
You see, that's another thing that my parents gave me: an enormously great sense of humor.
Liza Minnelli
Well, when I was growing up it was Ozzie and Harriet on TV - nobody's parents were like that.
Liza Minnelli
