Liza Minnelli Quotes

• I’m not a very good singer. I just know how to present a song, and honey, I think I’ve been through enough to do it right.
• I don’t mean to sound blase, but everybody in the house I grew up in was famous, and nobody cared. [Ira Gershwin’s] advice to me was, ‘Think about what you’re saying’. Later on, when I heard Aznavour singing, I wanted to do what he did so I begged him to be my mentor. He taught me a lot about keeping the mystery alive.
• [on filming Cabaret (1972)] We’re trying to show the dirt and decadence and the perverse atmosphere of Berlin when the Nazis came to power. All the numbers take place inside the cabaret with real drag queens and cheap, tacky sets.
• [on why she doesn’t perform her mother’s songs] They’ve been sung.
• [on the death of Michael Jackson] He was a kind, genuine, and wonderful man. He was also one of the greatest entertainers that ever lived. I loved him very much and I will miss him every remaining day of my life.
• It was no great tragedy being Judy Garland’s daughter. I had tremendously interesting childhood years – except they had little to do with being a child.
• [on working with Robert De Niro in New York, New York (1977)] Sure, a class-A bastard. After the sneak preview in San Francisco, Bobby said to me in the car, “I don’t mind being a bastard, as long as I’m an interesting bastard.”
• [on Judy Garland] She was a friend of mine, a trying friend, but a friend. That is what I tell myself: She did everything she ever wanted to do. She never really denied herself anything for me. See, I say, she had a wonderful life; she did what she wanted to do. And I have no right to change her fulfillment into my misery. I’m on my own broom now.
• I’m always looking at the next thing. I’m too curious to look back . . . it’s very hard to be unhappy when you’re curious and grateful. You’re busy. You don’t have time to be unhappy. My biggest talent is I know who is more talented than I am. I find them and I go to them, and I learn.
• My family’s been in show business since the 1700s. I traced them. I’m bred to this. Like a racehorse. A thoroughbred. Look at my parents, my God. But it was my curiosity that made me do this. Because you could also say, “Look at Frank Sinatra Jr..” It’s not like a natural thing that happens. You gotta work.
• It’s a waste of time to think about what I should have done and what I didn’t. I really believe in that. That’s how I react to the if-onlys of life. To moan and groan about something I shouldn’t have done, could have done, might have done . . . who knows? It is what it is. You got what you got. I live my life one day at a time.
• I remember playing in the Beverly Hills park with Mia Farrow and Candy [Candice Bergen] and Tisha Sterling and, while we sat in the sandbox, we could hear our English nannies talking about picture deals and costume direction and whose employer was going to win the Academy Award.
• [2004] I feel like I haven’t done my best work yet. I feel like there’s a world of possibilities out there.
• My mother gave me my drive but my father gave me my dreams.
• Reality is something you rise above.
• [in the film That’s Entertainment! (1974)] Thank God for film, it can capture a moment and hold it there forever. If anyone ever asks you, “Who were they?” or “What made them so good?” I think a reel of film answers that question.
• [12/99] I’ve got a good life, and I don’t think anything can rock that anymore.
