I, along with the critics, have never taken myself very seriously.
Command performances leave me quite cold. I’ve had more fun in the back seat of a ’39 Ford than I could ever have in the vault of the Chase Manhattan Bank.
Money isn’t everything.
I want it all quickly ’cause I don’t want God to stop and think and wonder if I’m getting more than my share.
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.
Elizabeth Taylor quotes on diamonds and jewels

Elizabeth Taylor quotes on marriage and men
I am a very committed wife. And I should be committed too – for being married so many times.

I’ve only slept with men I’ve been married to. How many women can make that claim?
Marriage is a great institution.
I’ve been married too many times. How terrible to change children’s affiliations, their affections — to give them the insecurity of placing their trust in someone when maybe that someone won’t be there next year.
‘What I want in love is the virile approach of the real man, willing arms that will hold me tightly to him and make me bend to him. I want to be loved with passion as if life itself depended on it’

Elizabeth Taylor quotes on being Elizabeth Taylor

My body’s a real mess. If you look at it in the mirror, it’s just completely convex and concave. I’ve become one of those poor little women who’s bent sideways. My X-rays are hysterical. The bone doctors just throw up their hands and say, ‘Sorry, there’s nothing we can do!’ Which is so cheery.
I hate myself on the screen. I want to die … my voice is either too high or too gravelly. I want to dive under the carpet…. I’d love to be tall and willowy … I’m short.
