Dream on it. Let your mind take you to places you would like to go, and then think about it and plan it and celebrate the possibilities. And don't listen to anyone who doesn't know how to dream.
Liza Minnelli
I've said it before, but it's absolutely true: My mother gave me my drive, but my father gave me my dreams. Thanks to him, I could see a future.
My mother gave me my drive but my father gave me my dreams.
But my brother Joey was there, and my sister Tina Nina Minnelli was there.
What good is sitting all alone in your room?
Smoking is one of the leading causes of all statistics.
Reality is something you rise above.
I believe all drunks go to heaven, because they've been through hell on Earth.
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.
The regrets of yesterday and the fear of tomorrow can kill you.
Audiences are the same all over the world, and if you entertain them, they'll respond.
It's like being an athlete; you get into a certain shape where you really have the right wind, because it's all to do with breath. Because singing and dancing at the same time is not easy!
But I don't think there's any reason to get married again, especially after what I've been through.
If we had a hard time, my mother would sit me down and we would talk about it, and she kept talking and kept processing until we started to laugh about it.
To the general public, show business may just mean the artistic part, but the dollar and cents element is the reality every performer has to face.
The male gay community seems to be very into female singers. I think it could be the songs we sing. They're more open with their feelings. And they have good taste!
Initially, I wanted to be an ice skater, but then when I was 13 I saw Bye Bye Birdie, and that was it - I wanted to be on Broadway.
I thought that making movies was drab. I'd lived through that. And I didn't want to use my parents, ever... They didn't want to push me into this business.
I walk fast. Keep moving. Always be a moving target. Marilyn Monroe taught me that.
Well, we have theatrical parties. It's not me singing. People like to get up and jam on the piano.
I am deeply saddened by the death of my dear friend, Dudley Moore.
I think that's the greatest gift one can have: point of view. You know? I've come to believe that if you have a bad memory of something, change it.
I feel like I haven't done my best work yet. I feel like there's a world of possibilities out there.
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 had the drink after I fell out of bed. It hurt.
Growing up in Hollywood it seemed like every kid was the child of some star. We had no idea that other people would think we were special, because there was no other lifestyle to compare it to.
Never stop moving, or you'll stop moving. I go to dance class every morning, and it's just good to stay strong; I like being healthy.
I'm fine, and my hips are fine. My false knee is fine. My false hips are fine. Everything's cooking.
Half the time, I feel like I'm 12. And the rest of the time, I feel like I'm 80. So I guess I'm somewhere in between. No, I feel great. I've got my health, and that's the most important thing.
Anything is possible in this world. I really believe that.
Working with Dudley Moore was so hilarious. I don't know how we got anything done because everybody was laughing so hard, but he was such a wonderful man, and he had a kindness and a musicality and a dearness to him that was triumphant.
I worked very hard, but I think it's unfair to make it all sound like it's all David's fault.
He was doing - Ray was designing the clothes for my mom's show from California. And one of the first appearances I ever made on television was on my mother's show and Ray and Bob did the clothes for that. It has been a long time.
He's a good tough producer, yes. But I don't think that he's unreasonable unless he feels threatened. And when somebody's in your home, I think everybody in the home gets threatened.
I feel like there's a world of possibilities out there.
I had a one day slip, Matt. So what do you do? You get up and you go on, and you try not to do it again.
I thought maybe, just by never preaching, never doing any of that stuff because it doesn't work. By just maybe the power of example and some laughs, maybe somebody might go take a walk.
Well, I'll tell you something, this wedding is something that I will always, always cherish. It was a show of love and support and kindness like I'd never seen from the people, and that's who I entertain. I entertain the people.
The thing is, is to raise your hand. It's not to hide, and it's not to try and pretend or do anything like that. You raise your hand, that's the best thing about it.
And what I liked the most about any project was that when it was good, you had a bunch of people trying to accomplish something together who were all acting together as one - that's the most exciting time for me.
No, I'm a theatrical, live performer or a movie performer.
Now, having had this experience, I can't say really what they were looking for. I don't know their minds. But every time I see a reality show, it seems that the most entertaining parts on other reality shows are when they make their guests look foolish.
First I wanted to be an ice skater, and then I saw 'Bye, Bye Birdie,' and everything changed. I'm glad I learned through the process of theater.
What I'm saying is that I tried very hard to give them my reality and my reality is kind of interesting.
I feel like I haven't done my best work yet.
Whenever we were on a plane, we had a family.
Growing up in Hollywood it seemed like every kid was the child of some star.
I mean, I inherited the disease of alcoholism, and I learned early to get help when I needed it.
My mother was an artist and highly strung, whereas my father was much calmer.
So I would dance and she would sing, and it was kind of a family thing. Performing was part of our world.
