The public me, the one named Elizabeth Taylor, has become a lot of hokum and fabrication - a bunch of drivel - and I find her slightly revolting.

Judaism had absolutely nothing to do with my past marriage to Mike [Todd] or my upcoming marriage to Eddie Fisher, both of whom were Jewish. It was something I had wanted to do for a long time.

I use my fame now when I want to help a cause or other people.

I never face the day without perfume.

I don't have a short temper, I just have a quick reaction to bullshit

Now is the time for guts and guile.

Seems like we always spend the best part of our time just saying goodbye.
