Elizabeth Taylor

I dont pretend to be an ordinary housewife.

Ive never thought of my jewelry as trophies. Im here to take care of it and to love it for we are only temporary custodians of beauty.

Marriage is a great institution.

When a woman stops blushing she has lost the most powerful weapon of charm.

I've only slept with men I've been married to. How many women can make that claim?

I haven't read any of the autobiographies about me.

Some of my best leading men have been dogs and horses.

I fell off my pink cloud with a thud.

Everything makes me nervous - except making films.

I really don't remember much about Cleopatra. There were a lot of other things going on.

I suppose when they reach a certain age some men are afraid to grow up. It seems the older the men get, the younger their new wives get.

I've been through it all, baby, I'm mother courage.

People who know me well, call me Elizabeth. I dislike Liz.

I feel very adventurous. There are so many doors to be opened, and I'm not afraid to look behind them.

Success is a great deodorant.

I don't think President Bush is doing anything at all about Aids. In fact, I'm not sure he even knows how to spell Aids.

My mother says I didn't open my eyes for eight days after I was born, but when I did, the first thing I saw was an engagement ring. I was hooked.

It is very strange that the years teach us patience that the shorter our time the greater our capacity for waiting.

Big girls need big diamonds.

If someone's dumb enough to offer me a million dollars to make a picture, I'm certainly not dumb enough to turn it down.

It is strange that the years teach us patience; that the shorter our time, the greater our capacity for waiting.

Money is the best deodorant.

I've always admitted that I'm ruled by my passions.

A belly laugh increases the ability of your immune system to fight infections.

So much to do, so little done, such things to be.

I don't pretend to be an ordinary housewife.

You find out who your real friends are when you're involved in a scandal.

The problem with people who have no vices is that generally you can be pretty sure they're going to have some pretty annoying virtues.

Follow your passions follow your heart and the things you need will come.

I sweat real sweat and I shake real shakes.

I adore wearing gems, but not because they are mine. You can't possess radiance, you can only admire it.

Pour yourself a drink, put on some lipstick, and pull yourself together.

When people say, 'She's got everything', I've got one answer - I haven't had tomorrow.

Pour yourself a drink put on some lipstick and pull yourself together.

You can be fat and still be sexy . It all depends on how you feel about yourself.

I have a woman's body and a child's emotions.

I am a very committed wife. And I should be committed too - for being married so many times.

I think I'm finally growing up - and about time.

It's not the having, it's the getting.
