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 206 quotes

I've always sung in the shower...

I've always sung in the shower. Now I make the stage a mental shower in order not to get too uptight and enjoy it.

Elizabeth Taylor 206 quotes

To me, acting is a matter of a...

To me, acting is a matter of absolute concentration. You can laugh and giggle with your friends up to the minute the director says, 'Action!' Then you snap your mind into shape and into the character that you're playing and relate to the people that you're acting with and forget everybody else that you've been joking with.

Elizabeth Taylor 206 quotes

Acting is fun. It's not my who...

Acting is fun. It's not my whole life. It's not my entire being. It's secondary to my life. My life is primary. I'm running in the primary, as you know.

Elizabeth Taylor 206 quotes

I hate the idea of always havi...

I hate the idea of always having to interpret other people's ideas and thoughts and words, because I'm very independent and, I guess, a free thinker.

Elizabeth Taylor 206 quotes

I never planned to acquire a lot of jewels or a lot of husbands. For me, life happened, just as it does for anyone else.

Elizabeth Taylor 206 quotes

I have been supremely lucky in my life in that I have known great love, and of course I am the temporary custodian of some incredible and beautiful things.

Elizabeth Taylor 206 quotes

I have never felt more alive t...

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.

I have never wanted to be a queen! Cleopatra was a role, and I am an actor, so it was fun to play one, but it's not real.

Elizabeth Taylor 206 quotes

The things that are important ...

The things that are important to me - being a mother, a businesswoman, an activist - are all things that were borne out of great passion.

I love to be casual and comfortable, but I also love the easy glamour of wearing jewelry all the time.

I always wanted to have a fragrance, and I always wanted to be able to connect with people in ways other than through film.

Elizabeth Taylor 206 quotes

Fragrance is an incredibly int...

Fragrance is an incredibly intimate thing. It can evoke very specific thoughts or memories and is a little different for each person who wears it. I also think it's the most accessible luxury.

Elizabeth Taylor 206 quotes

I like the connection with fans and people who have been supportive of me. And I love the idea of real feedback and a two-way street, which is very, very modern.

Elizabeth Taylor 206 quotes

Sometimes I think we know too much about our idols and that spoils the dream.

This is a book that respects kids and their ideas. And in that regard, it places Chasing Vermeer in the tradition of classic favorites fondly recalled from our own childhoods.

On Mother's Day: It's just a rip-off, to tell the truth, a chance to sell my perfume and other things that ladies like.

Elizabeth Taylor 206 quotes

A strong film director does leave you to your devices. A strong director allows you to be free and you trust that he's there and he will tell you if you've gone too far. A strong director allows you to be much more experimental and take greater chances than a director who isn't secure within himself.

Elizabeth Taylor 206 quotes

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.

What is a genius? What is a living legend? What is a megastar? Michael Jackson -- that's all. And when you think you know him, he gives you more. I think he is one of the finest people to hit this planet, and, in my estimation, he is the true King of Pop, Rock and Soul.
