Elizabeth Taylor

I've been through it all, baby, I'm an award-winning actress, a mother, a wife, a grandmother, a great-grandmother, and a survivor. I've lived a full life, and I'm not afraid of anything.

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

I shall not be a common woman. I shall be a rare one.

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

Big girls need big diamonds.

Success is a great deodorant. It takes away all your past smells.

I don't pretend to be an ordinary woman.

I've always admitted that I'm a very sensual woman.

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

I've been in love with the same man for 40 years. If I'd married him, I'd have been bored to death.

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

It's all about love. And that's what I've been looking for my whole life.

I've always been a very passionate person.

I want to be a good wife, a good mother, a good friend, a good human being.

I've never been a quiet person. I've always been very outspoken.

I've always been a survivor.

I've always been a very emotional person.

I've always been a very strong person.

I've always been a very independent person.

I've always been a very determined person.
