Liza Minnelli's quotes

[12/99] I've got a good life, and I don't think anything can rock that anymore.
[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.
Reality is something you rise above.
My mother gave me my drive but my father gave me my dreams.
[2004] I feel like I haven't done my best work yet. I feel like there's a world of possibilities out there.
[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."
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 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.
[on why she doesn't perform her mother's songs] They've been sung.
[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.
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.
